Play Bingo, Help Cats!
The Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon does great work helping cats in the Northwest. They are having a fundraiser this Sunday that I thought was worth passing along.

The train held me up on my way to yoga but I had a nice random conversation with a stranger while waiting. Thanks Portland.
The train held me up on my way to yoga must be said at least once a day in portland, right?
Love this Portland Bingo Card by artists, Bishop Lennon and Amy Ruppel. You can order them here and they come in a set. From their Etsy shop:
How to play? Start by handing out the four different colored cards, choose from red, green, blue or orange. Walk out of the door of your home anywhere in Portland and you’re bound to run smack into one or more of these iconic Portland images. Follow your nose to the nearest FOOD CART, or follow your ears to the nearest LOUD CROW. Look up for a SQUIRREL ON A WIRE or a TALL BIKE. Look down for a RAIN PUDDLE or a TINY HORSE. Head downtown on the MAX TRAIN and there’s little doubt you’ll see other moving targets like a TALL BIKE or a PEDICAB. If you need just one more, buy yourself a VOODOO DONUT and you can literally taste sweet, sweet victory.
From Ben Golliver at the Blazers Edge comes exciting news for Portland fans: Craig Smith has addressed his nickname: “the Rhino,” and it’s probably the best quote I’ve heard this year, and probably the name of a blog before its all said and done.
”’Wide, girthy. Just like a Rhino. Sometimes my horns are visible.’”
“Wide, girthy. Just like a Rhino” is the middle/beginning line of an incredible haiku, but it’s also excellent fodder for us bloggers.
Thanks for making things in Portland so entertaining, Craig Smith. May you show your “horns” with pride. There’s not a hint of a euphemism to this quote.
