I picture Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, resplendent in their explorer’s gear, sitting in front of a computer with worried expressions.  What’s this box? It’s so bright and shiny. It’s a web? Webs are much sturdier now than they used to be.  Have spiders gotten strong? 

(But really it’s a story about Lewis and Clark college and their difficulties with Yik Yak.)

I’m not religious myself, but I do find the idea of a Duck Dynasty-themed Bible to be in very poor taste.

I love how so much information was squeezed on this tiny post-it note that a teacher had on her laptop, to remind her of the top songs that should be listened to.

After finishing five 5k runs, I’m interested in running to food more than anything else.

The Oregon Department of Education apparently has some alternative spelling of “Emerson” they find preferable.  I see this spelling a lot and I don’t understand where it comes from as there is no famous “Emmerson”.  Just old Ralph Waldo.  One “m”.

This just made me laugh. 

Casting call: We need a buttoned-up type to look like a very annoyed librarian.  No botox. The more disappointed, the better.

(Note that I know a lot of librarians and they don’t look like this at all.)

Hee!  I didn’t realize the Governer’s fiancee had so butchered the spelling of her name.

The rest of the column I didn’t really go along with, but in the first sentence, Hovde and I are seeing eye-to-eye.

I know why there are ketchup and mustard dispensers sitting in the kitchen at work.  They are being used by the children to make peace flags.*  By why this mustard dispenser has a label on it that says, “predators are too close”?  Who knows?

*It occurs to me that the above sentence will make no sense to anyone else but staff at school.  So here’s what they did:  children color coffee filters with crayola-type markers, then the mustard/ketchup containers are filled with water and the water is sprayed over the coffee filter and that causes the colors to run on the coffee filter.  The filters are hung to dry et voila!  Peace Flags.

Anyone who has taken a drive past breakfast places on the weekend knows how popular breakfast is in Portland.  I don’t know about the rest of the state, though.  

We’ve gotten rid of that other style columnist out of Chicago, the one who thinks $20.00 is no big deal to spend.  We’ve continued on with the local style columnist, who I actually like.  But I wonder if male fall fashions are taking their cues from Northwest hipster trends, or maybe we just live IN the center of Northwest hipster trends.
