Peter Drake HAS MOVED @peterdrake@qoto.org

Day four of no power and no Internet. This big tree is the reason. One among hundreds in the area, but this is the one that took out *our* power and Internet.

PGE (Portland General Electric) claims we should get power back by 10pm today, but the ice storm arrives today, so we'll see.

If you are planning on driving northbound on I-5 past Cottage Grove, don’t! About 5 miles of parking lot from the Gettings Creek rest area back south past town.

Mood on a snowy road with snow covered trees. Licking a car. “ Canadian Car Wash”

It's inappropriate to make a dad joke if you're not a dad.

It’s a faux pa.

My Daughter managed to photograph hummingbird bird breath!
it's really cold out and she grabbed the camera because she saw him dancing, flicking his tongue in and out.

1. François Mitterand, Booger Spy.
2. Successful away mission to pick up some more firewood.
3. Finally less than 100,000 customers without power, so PGE has to be inching closer to us.

on second thought, let's just pee inside

It’s rarely cold enough here to experiment with frozen bubble photography. This weekend is a great opportunity at 19F. One of my shots out of many :))

All engineering is reverse engineering if you document things poorly enough.

@beecycling Do not chase your dreams. Humans are persistence predators. Walk behind your dreams at a pace that allows you to easily track them, and pounce on them when they eventually fall down, too exhausted to elude you any more.
