  Number of comments: 1
  We were both in the WalMart, both dressed to the T. You wore grey, baggy sweatpants and a t-shirt with Taz and Bugs in their backwards clothes. Your hair was greasy and smelled like fried potatoes.
  I had my mustard-stained shirt that I once chewed holes into. You commented on [...]

  We exist amidst mist. The precipitation doesn't fall, it just hangs in the air. It smells of industry and other times like the forest. It penetrates.
  I will be out in the fog. It hangs over and engulfs us. It makes us frown. It does not necessarily though, make us' [...]

  If you're like me, you hate to sacrifice price for a bad beer. Once in a while, spending less than $6 on a six-pack is just necessary. Of course, you know not to touch the dregs... the Coors Light and Budweiser families or the overpriced imports that are ruined by' [...]

  Number of comments: 4
  This blog seems so "last year." I don't have the time that I used to. Making it on one's own takes its share of...time.
  I tire of waking up anywhere from 3-5 AM, and not being able to fall back asleep. I'd like to be up no later than 10' [...]

• Anti-Tax Referendums and Dumb Oregon Voters

  —the Crallspace

  Number of comments: 1
  There are some anti-tax referendums on the upcoming ballot, aimed at making sure the rich can keep their "fair share." People earning over $125,000 a year and households making $250,000 or more a year and corporations would be marginally affected. The common man would not. Over 97% of Oregonians would [...]
