A Multnomah County jury has awarded more than $760,000 to our client Cider Riot owner Abram Goldman-Armstrong after finding defendants associated with the far-right group Patriot Prayer liable for a violent 2019 attack. Even though the justice system moves slowly, we will always stay the course.

My weather app says nothing about precipitation but there's water falling out of the sky. Yes, a very small amount of water but it's wet and it's going to freeze later and this is entirely unwelcome.

While I love the Portland Corps of Engineers and their obsession with the Pacific lamprey, Washington DNR and the geoduck really just takes it to the next level.

Made it in and out of an absolutely slammed Safeway quickly with the only downside being "Feliz Navidad" playing as I walked out of the store. It will now occupy my brain during any quiet moments for the foreseeable future.

If the spices and presentation are more in line with kruidnoten (gingerbread adjacent and definitely no anise) but the consistency is more pepernoten (chewy, which kruidnoten definitely is not), which do I call it?
This will bother me until all of the cookies are gone.

I know the season isn't even halfway through, but I'm delighted to see Hearts at the top of the table. I'm honestly just thrilled not to see Celtic or Rangers.

Just lying here watching the sky towards town light up like a lightning storm and waiting for one of the neighbor's trees (because it's always one specific neighbor's trees) to knock out our power.

I'm not sure exactly what hard mode would be for me, as we had two VCRs by the time I was six (and a video rental store was one of the first businesses when entering town), which means I'd seen more than one movie six times by the age of seven.
