4. Portland at the ice facility is out of control like that most nights. Usually there will be inflatables, though.

We saw two-legged green dinosaurs and a couple of very colorful versions of Pegasus!

Yet another reason not to miss the next rally!

Capitol protests were going on I made a call to the pizza place that was bringing them pizza and made a sizeable "donation". The guy seemed genuinely surprised that someone called in and gave that kind of money. But protestin' and democracyn' is hard work as Jethro would say. People need to eat. I was just sorry I didn't know a candy shop that would deliver because I would have gladly sent in a huge slug of chocolates to mellow the deal.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
