I had coffee 90 minutes ago and I’m about to fall asleep. I’ve heard some things about what might be true if you can nap after stimulants. No further insight about other stimulants, uh, just this one

the club signed up with Bank of America to help fund roster building and then sold one of the best players immediately afterward?

lol this project is dead. Again. What a colossal waste of taxpayer dollars planning this thing. Same mistakes as the CRC. Just gobsmacking hubris and incompetent leadership.
Willamette Week reports the price estimate for the Interstate Bridge Replacement has more than doubled to $13.6 billion. www.wweek.com/news/state/2...

The estimated price tag more than doubled from $6 billion to $13.6 billion, but staff told a bistate panel Dec. 15 it didn’t have new numbers.

without knowing how liquid portland's new group is, the optics are that dundon is selling a part of his nhl team just to have enough to buy the team and is asking the city to subsidize all of the arena funding.
takeaways from the oram arena piece:
- blazers working to line up arena funding before sale.
- vulcan/blazers enlist dan barrett (caa) who helped with 'canes arena to divert $20m from public fund.
- dundon group not contributing any new cash into renovations (!)
- portland facing a budget shortfall.

I think my least favorite quality in a person, one that is so often praised as an asset or virtue, is: "doesn't take no for an answer." We're living through an extended nightmare of what that looks like when brought to its logical conclusion.
