    Brutal! Really sorry to hear that. Sounded like you liked it.

    Thanks man. Almost 20yr long profession, and I think this is finally what’s gonna get me to switch things up.

    You should maybe try Nursery work - there are companies out there that supply plants for reclamation projects.

    Funny enough, one of the few gigs I applied to while waiting to hear the news from my boss was in fact a reclamation project, helping with the large dam removal here in OR. They had filled the position already tho. But that is the kind of career pivot I’d love to make!

    But, I do love me some harebrained schemes! I’m all ears if you hear of anything.

    Moving back to the city will be good for me - it’s where all my people and support networks are, it’s just not what I’d prefer to be doing long term.





  • Oregonian here. There’s currently over 100 fires burning across our state. 5 of them currently considered mega-fires.

    Our state-level firefighters, as well as the federal-level are seriously, seriously underpaid. If you’re the letter-to-politician-writing type, please help advocate for better pay and benefits for our firefighters

    It really seems like my grocery store (a Kroger brand) has been doing this for a bit now.

    Prices on certain things vary wildly depending on the time of the month or the day of the week. Plus, with their bullshit, incessant push for everyone to use their app and online ordering, it seems like this will be much more common moving forward.





  • At this time, any further comments on the cause of death are currently pending until toxicology results and other ancillary testing results are received,” the statement says. (Emphasis mine)

    Benedict was able to walk out of the bathroom after the Feb. 7 fight but was taken to a hospital by their family and sent home that night. The next day, paramedics were dispatched to the home for a medical emergency and took Benedict to a hospital emergency room, where they later died, police said.

    I really hope this doesn’t turn out to be self-inflicted… Either that, or that’s the angle the officials are hoping to imply in the meantime. This whole thing is so heartbreaking…
