I remember when an Afghan family was marooned almost on pur doorstep with no clothes, no food, nothing to cook with... the settlement agency had been completely overwhelmed.
We rallied our community to deliver some immediate assistance and made friends. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Do you have ANY IDEA how stoked I was when I found out that Clarke County has a Community Tree Council!?
There's a way for literally *any* kind of weirdo to get involved in their community and make friends with other weirdos like them.
BEHOLD!! The fundraising acorns I planted today!

A proper rail network like this is a necessity for a climate friendly state
Also, having a rail line down hwy 99 would actually provide Corvallis with a direct transit connection to Eugene and the airport
Still insane we don’t currently have those

Radiating network, just like you asked for, boss
(NB: This is a mix of existing rail routes, existing rail routes that would need upgrades for reliable passenger service, old routes that would need rails laid again, and a couple of totally new routes)

So we have some kid friends over. Kids run feral, and the young cats escape.
Fine!
In the darkness, one of the kids espies an owl in our neighbor's tree -
a Great Horned Owl, the kind that will snack on kitties!
There are, in fact, *three such owls.*
Hoot-off ensues.

My usual bus stop is really close to another stop; but the other stop is at a marine industry and workers use it. The shoulder on the busy highway between the two stops is about a foot wide.

I completed my final count. Out of 10,511 bus stops, I found that 4,360 (41%) of them could be removed to align with national best practices of 1/4 mile spacing. Long-form explainer article and an interactive map are forthcoming. Green dots are removed stops, black are kept stops.
