I admit, when I first saw this skull, I would not have guessed what animal it ultimately came from. I mean, that is some crazy wicked toothwork… So, who can identify it without cheating?

Lost book: Judy Blume
It’s like my regular Lost Book Watch feature or something. Anyway, right there on the screen in your face, Judy Blume’s Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. I don’t know that it has anything to do with the overall theme or plot of the show; since Sawyer was reading it, I rather suspect the… Continue reading Lost book: Judy Blume
The Paperback Exchange is closing
Heads-up, Bendites: The Paperback Exchange, which is one of the oldest used bookstores in Bend (if not the oldest), is closing! Right now they’re having a huge 75% off sale on everything. I stopped over there after lunch and bought four books (for only $4.50, which would have been regularly priced at $18) and talked… Continue reading The Paperback Exchange is closing
Vote for Pedro – and other shirts
Over browsing at JCPenney this evening, and I saw that they had “Vote for Pedro” t-shirts for only $9.99. Some other good ones, too. Just a heads-up to y’all. 🙂

That’s a lot of realtors
My mom mentioned this yesterday, though I didn’t see it online and I’m too lazy to do a deep search: there is now apparently one realtor for every 200 people in Bend, according to The Bulletin. Wow. I figure this should be good fodder for the newish Bend, Oregon Housing Bubble blog.
Earthquake off the Oregon Coast
There was a magnitude 4.5 earthquake off of Oregon’s coast this morning. Interesting. Not a huge one—not enough to strike up a tsunami—but a good reminder that a big one could hit at any time.
Poll redux
I never did get any comments on my poll the other day… Is this thing on? 🙂
The Portland/Bon Jovi writeup
It was a whirlwind tour of Portland, but we managed to make the most of it. We did some quick shopping in Gresham on the way in, stopped to visit with our friends for a bit (had to take over some of my pumpkin ale for a missed birthday), and then went out to lunch… Continue reading The Portland/Bon Jovi writeup
