"A woman who saw it happen is frustrated because she believes the official account shared by the #Oregon State Police (and parroted by media outlets statewide) is false.
...the OSP statement reads. “Even though the F-350 had [sic] slowed when passing, the rider of the bicycle was run over by [sic] the F-350.” (Note: Oregon law says drivers must give bicycle riders enough space when passing so that if they were to fall over they would not hit them.)" #KilledWithNotByCar

5/14/2023: A tropical #sunset at a very unusual time of year for the northern #Oregon coast.

So, #Oregon DMV is permanently revoking his license, right? KOIN never seems to ask the right questions on traffic stories. #PDX

Who has experience with #CommunitySolar in #Oregon? It sounds like there has to be some catch but supposedly you're covered by law, that the fund manager will make sure you adjust the subscription so you don't get a bill for #solar power you didn't use at the end of the year. That's hard to believe, given that our #netMetering rules restrict how much you can sell to the grid. (if they really did so well, maybe we need the same lawmakers to revisit net metering and get rental houses in there)

I’ve lived in #seattle for only 6 years but I’ve definitely come to hate the sun. Cloud and proud. #pnw #seabikes #Oregon #portland #pdx

“The Oregon State Police said responding troopers couldn't find any bills along the highway after the incident, saying drivers did a ‘thorough job of gathering the loose money.’” https://www.npr.org/2023/04/16/1170312878/oregon-money-car-200k-highway-100-bills (he said he was gifting $200k) #Oregon #pnw #cars #infrastructure

Dear Fellow Professional Freelance Writers,

Where are you getting the most traction, satisfaction, good editing, and/or ducats these days? For those who publish regularly to #Substack & #Medium & such—how's that going? Which platforms do you suppose would be most useful to which types of writers? Do you #blog or #microblog on a self-hosted website, #Mastodon, #Twitter, #Tumblr, or ...?

I'm procrastinating this afternoon so I did some research on #Oregon Law. Specifically, how does OR define a #velocar or #velomobile ? It looks like a 3-wheeled human-powered vehicle fits squarely under the statutory definition for #bicycle (ORS 801.150). However, a similar device with one additional wheel does not. In fact, a 4-wheeled velocar seems to fit the legal definition for a motor-assisted scooter per ORS 801.348. Even without any electric assist. 🤔 #biketooter

Sitting in our house in the pine forest of #oregon. Wood stove burning. #Snow blowing about, beyond the windows. A squirrel leaps onto a ponderosa trunk. I make stabs at #writing a #screenplay / #teleplay (no idea how to do that, though I am a professional writer). I can hear my son's boom box from one room over. Handsome husband taps his phone at a nearby table. Though I am regularly spun sideways by #perimenopause, #fibromyalgia, tendinitis, and #bipolar disorder? Friends, my life is good.

Very happy people are waking up to the massive theft of public resources in my home state #Oregon (and others!) by for-profit pillagers like #Intel and #Amazon.

It's time for a change.
