It has just occurred to me that code probably requires them to nail 2x4s across each window space so no one falls out.

“If that ball goes up there, you aren’t getting it back until the janitor can get on the roof”
I can just hear the recess monitor now. The funny part about this is that I took the picture standing on the staircase that heads down to the playground. But the balls on the roof are so tantalizing, just at my eye level.
Amusing headlines, brought to you by the Oregonian
They were kind of asking for it with that title. And, thinking back to the standard overstatement of the delightful hotel owner in the first movie, it would have been been in keeping to call it the Even Better Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.
Hee. That’s all I have to say. Hee.
Williams Ave and just one picture from our food tour.
Matt, his mother Linda and I are on our way to a Forktown Food Tour of N. Mississippi Street. I wanted to update you on the ch-ch-ch-changes on N. Williams Avenue first. This sign was photographed in January.
Across the street, this building has undergone a huge transformation. I even have compare/contrast photos for you. Now:
Here’s what it looked like on 1/28:
And here’s just one picture from our food tour. That is a huge shelf of bitters. Read more about it here.
Juttings Contained
That didn’t take long. A small part of me wished that the juttings would have been a feature of the roof, not something to be covered with roofing material.
Crane and the City of Roses Motel Site
Today’s the first day I’ve seen a crane onsite.
Oscar Beverages
That’s a bottle of water, a glass of a deliciously dry white wine and a travel mug of tea.
Juttings at the City of Roses Motel site.
I look forward to watching this roof develop.
Three sentence movie reviews: The Duff
The content of this movie grounds it firmly as a mid-level contender in the teen movie category. However, the performances by the two leads elevates the film into 101 minutes of fun because the two (clearly mid-twenty-year-old people playing high school seniors) are just so darn cute to watch. I was interested to notice that tops for teenage girls have crept back up to midriff-bearing levels, though the waistline of the jeans/pants/skirts seems to have stayed firmly at normal waistline level.
Cost: $5.00 (which was a pleasant surprise. I was prepared to pay top movie-going dollar, but it turns out this particularly theater has $5.00 Tuesday AND Sundays.) And actually I paid nothing because I had a gift card.
Where watched: Regal City Center 12 Vancouver.
A place for a cat to rest his head.
Sentinel looked up and ruined the photo I had planned, which was of him with his head stretched out over the book looking very much like a long worm. But this is cute too.
