Portland has a good city bus system with bike racks on buses, paved bike paths and bike lanes, dedicated city streets that do not share auto traffic, Amtrak from California to Canada and all points east to Chicago, and metro area surface commuter trains that are wheelchair friendly.

Seriously, @angelatague.bsky.social, if you haven't added "Show Runner for #FreelanceFriends Chat" to your LinkedIn profile, you should!

That doesn't happen here - another good reason to move here! - but I've lived in Phoenix and L.A. and people always stop and lean out of their cars when you're out walking and ask if you need help. #FreelanceFriends

I remember a sign on the freeway down there that said, "No parades on the freeway!" #FreelanceFriends

Heaven = dried cranberries, little pretzels, chocolate chunks from Trader Joes (kind of bitter), candied ginger, and salted cashews. #FreelanceFriends

The tsunami signs are freaky, and you think to yourself, "Could I run up that gigantic vine-covered hill if I had to?" #FreelanceFriends

I love to fill a little cup with walnuts and a few chocolate chips. Such a satisfying combination. ##FreelanceFriends

Let me know if you come this way. I'll give you a tour of the city! #FreelanceFriends

I'm gasping with laughter. That's what I thought, too. #FreelanceFriends

Oopsie - I meant *Coast* They don't call it the ocean or the beach out here -- it's the coast and it's owned by the public, so you can actually access it! #FreelanceFriends

Come retire in Portland! Rarely snows, walkable neighborhoods with amenities, beautiful scenery, one hour to the ocats or mountains, and friendly, caring, like-minded neighbors. #FreelanceFriends

I imagine you on the sofa, reading it, with the cats looking over your shoulder! #FreelanceFriends

Hahah!

Cool - what a good idea for a cookbook! #FreelanceFriends

Oh, that. Crap! #FreelanceFriends

You open a food storage container and think, "I was going to give this to the dog, but it looks so good. Sorry, Archie!" #FreelanceFriends

Ohhhh, very clever! #FreelanceFriends

Just to ease your mind, typically a big health cost in December can be rolled into the new year's deductible. Depends on the plan, but insurance billing is like a 6-week process, so your plan administrator can help you adjust that into whichever year is most beneficial, if needed. #FreelanceFriends

The vet said the commercial foods (good quality) have a balanced vitamin profile and essential nutrients for eyes and bones, so you'd want to be sure you took that into consideration. A lack of specific vitamins can apparently be deadly. #FreelanceFriends

Mmmm, that sounds healthy and good. #FreelanceFriends

I buy a lot of yellow folders for every day, to perk me up. Red is for the kids' college financial aid. I may have unconsciously told myself to "Stop!" with that color, but at least I can find it when Thing 1 and Thing 2 call at the last minute needing info. #FreelanceFriends
