First Thursday

First Thursday here in the Pearl District is ART time – all of the local galleries have their openings, and lots of people forget how to properly park or cross the street.  And don’t get me started on their behavior while I’m in an intersection… I even saw some of the trendy art horde messing…

Surfing the Wild Bogcedes

Storm clouds looming… gotta catch some Big Aire while I can… Come on, I can handle a little more speed… Get the lead out mama – HIT THE GAS!!! Mmm.  Bugs.  I feel like a windshield. Traffic isn’t my favorite, but at least it’s not as bad as it was in Los Angeles. I see…

Marge, one of the…
