It's been a while since I posted anything here, for reasons too complex and boring to trouble you with. Suffice out to say that the beautiful garage is now someone else's garage. I am living in the Richmond area of Portland, Oregon, one of whose slogans is "keep Portland weird."

It would seen that request is taken seriously in my neighborhood. At the Bagdad, where the Kirbster and I were awaiting the start of a comedy performance, I espied a man with a dog roughly a large as himself.
It's plain from this picture the dog had a very affectionate nature. Just as well. I think I like weird.

Since no performers are in the room I hope the Bagdad don't mind me showing you a picture of the stage. Good luck to everyone who goes up to the mike to entertain us tonight.
