Spring in Oregon sometimes brings nice surprises. It rained all morning on Friday, but here is the forecast for the next week (below). I guess you could call spring in Oregon fickle.
Monday you will find me at a park reading a book. It shall be a perfect day.

- 14 of the worst fast food versus reality examples. Pretty sad.
- “Celebrity stunts of altruism are killing the livelihoods of Africans.” Great article.
- Apparently a high speed passenger train is being proposed that would run from Eugene-Portland-Seattle-Vancouver (BC). This would be incredible.

That last piece of news definitely would be incredible. I would enroll to do a degree at Regent in Vancouver then, and we’d live in Seattle where my wife could work at the head office of the company she currently works for here in Florida. Here’s hoping it’s in place by September 2010!
seriously. why can we have 70s and 80s from here on out. see you at the parks.
I’ll believe it when they get it past the Environmental Impact statement. There were plans decades ago for MagLev between Vegas and LA but it died because of a tortoise. I can’t believe any of the other technology getting clear sailing just becasue they’ll have to create new lines for the trains.
It would be great to have. Now if they’d only start on getting it down to California and to Denver so the West could be networked I’d really be impressed.
