If your camp is in a flood zone, don't have campers there when it floods. Consider moving your camp out of the floor zone.

How the State hasn't closed them down is insane.
How they haven't been sued or of existence by 27 families is impossible to understand.

Tonight's song is dedicated to the Portland Frogs - Peace Frog by The Doors. 🐸

They are on the front lines, they are our everyday heroes. They prove night after night that Portland is not the war ravaged city Shit For Brains says it is.

Thanks Frogs for Keeping Portland Weird. 🐸❤️

Then get real sick.

Unsolicited Tick pics

The cartoon character The Tick. Portrait of a smiling man, with a huge chin, perfect teeth, in a blue costume, head covering, with two blue antennas.

See number one, but also including the characters American Maid (a mean looking woman in a maid uniform that is red white and blue), and his sidekick Authur, dressed in a white full body suit with wings

See number one, but it's the live version with Patrick Warburton
