I've apparently successfully shifted back from Night Owl to Early Bird. Was up early this morning w/the helicopters. Okay, just one, but 'twas a real deja vu "what, I'm back in SoCal?!" moment w/all the sirens and the whirly-bird up overhead. Searching Portland news on-line eventually revealed only one story which seems like it might be relevant: Police Investigate Shooting, but it's not clear that that's what was up (and given where the 'copter flew, it seems possible, but not necessarily related).

Anyway, I'm up and've nearly finished watering my garden. Just need to hydrate the tomatoes (which're fruiting quite nicely now, excitingly enough!), stick a load of wash in the machine, then shift up to LJ-free L's house to water her front & back yards. Today's forecast as a scorcher (90). Luckily it cooled down last night so the house's quite nice. I'll seal it up tight at some point this morning and it'll stay cool 'til sometime this afternoon.

Off in a few hours to fetch [livejournal.com profile] vismayaviewer from Union Station for a quick visit (24 hours). She'll carpool Northward w/me o'morrow. I'll drop her off at home then meet [livejournal.com profile] lightfoote for r-ball followed by dinner w/him and [livejournal.com profile] wildwoosi and her sister who's in town. It'll be good to see her as she was the one close fambily-member who hadn't made it up/out for [livejournal.com profile] wildwoosi dughter & son-in-law's visit from Finland (w/US wedding reception).



On Thursday, [livejournal.com profile] lightfoote & I will cruise back down to Portland again for a date weekend. We'll snag [livejournal.com profile] poeticlioness on the way for more carpooling fun. After a bite to eat, we'll go check out an exhibit celebrating censored art (much eroticism) by [livejournal.com profile] ferociousbcycad & a couple of other folks at Blue Light Under the Moonlight (NOTE: NSW!), part of the monthly Alberta Street Last Thursday Art Walk in Portland, OR. There's even on-site wine tasting hosted by Naked Winery (Hood River, OR). This is happening at:

The Community Art Space
5014 NE 24th Ave
Portland, OR

Hope to see some of you there!

We had a ghetto bird hanging out last night, too

Heh.

Did your local news stations at least say what was up? I'm baffled by the lack of on-line news, despite the fact that I saw two (2) different news vans cruise by mi casa after it'd cooled off some. I even checked their on-line breaking news bits (after noting the station from the vehicle door) but saw nada.

I didn't even check. There was only 1 bird - that'd never make media around here.

Speaking of visitations...

Please check your email. It's looking like [livejournal.com profile] dritikol and I can make this work, but we're hoping to book today.

Cannot wait to see you.
