It's a new blog from the region I've always felt was home, so I have to mention it.
Also, the top entry there is about water, something always on the minds of Pacific Northwesterners, so I have to tie it into a weird story from Portland: a man was seen peeing in one of their reservoirs, so they're draining it completely at a cost of $35,000. Seriously? That's just silly squeamishness. Fish and amphibians and passing birds and insects and mammals are busy peeing in our water supply all the time; insects are dying and falling into the reservoirs and rotting in them. And let's not forget the bacteria and viruses that constantly drizzle in. It's all so dilute, though, that it is of no consequence at all.
