Personal news, commentary and ramblings
A local university professor created a chalk tribute to the fallen soldiers of the Iraq war on the sidewalks of Portland’s Waterfront. I saw it for the first time in its completed form this morning on my ride to work. The names go on and on. Some have faded and been washed away by the rain, but it all works metaphorically, I think
An Oregonian article has more.

I spotted this sign behind the fence that keeps the bad guys away from the ships during Fleet Week. The sign struck me without the soldier in the frame but then I thought it would be even funnier if the “response” was armed. The soldier was perplexed but agreed to stand there for the photo.
Something about this picture appeals to me. All of the complete words are compelling, I think.
