Explored the Sellwood-Moreland neighborhood of Portland today, starting off at Crystal Rhododendron Garden, which is gorgeous even in "off-season."
It's not as popular as Japanese and Rose Test Gardens, so less crowded and more of a locals place. Also in a charming neighborhood.

This #Caturday 's pics are from Meowtropolitan Cat Cafe in Seattle last month. They have a mix of adoptable and resident cats, and the barista makes a tasty "clawtte".

Final mow of the year. Front lawn is looking good after I fed it three weeks ago and we've had several inches of rain since.
And the fresh bird bath water in back seems to be a hit.

One of the candies I gave away last night was Payday and I'm officially the old guy giving out candy the kids don't understand.
I got one "what is this?" and another in a group who volunteered to take them, as if he were taking the bullet for his buddies.
Anyway, they're wrong. Payday are great.

This is a child's level of maturity and understanding of that region, its politics, culture, and religion. An adult should be embarrassed to sound so unserious. Lost a lot of respect for him.
