#eugene mayor on the (only) hospital in town closing:
"This business decision is not in our community’s best interests. It will further deepen the crisis of health care in our community. Reducing services now addresses a current financial crisis in a way that will burden our community with serious long-term costs."

While I am admittedly not an expert on shipping, it seems odd that a package I have arriving tomorrow via USPS departed Hillsboro, Oregon (suburb of Portlandia, about 100NM from me), was sent for two stops in OHIO before eventually arriving back in Seattle to make it’s way south to me in #Eugene.
Maybe just ship it to Seattle first? I guess logic does not factor into USPS package movement decisions.

I just heard that the big local hospital is closing its downtown operations, and I doubt they'll be replacing all the cool shops and restaurants they tore down.
I have even more #respect today for #wildland #firefighters after trying to work outside in #Eugene #Oregon when the smoke from numerous small/medium fires descends on the southern #WillametteValley.
Even with a KN95 mask, breathing in this level of smoke is a chore. I cannot imagine what breathing while fighting the fires must be like.
In this screengrab from https://map.purpleair.com/1/mAQI/a10/p604800/cC0#10.23/44.0259/-123.15 you can see the readings from private sensor stations. Anything over 150 is rough, some are now hitting 300.

I push nearby pubic webcams onto one of my #homeassistant dashboards. The #wildfire #smoke is so bad that the Downtown #Eugene cam might as well be turned off.

Mordor has arrived in Eugene. I can almost hear the orcs gleefully chanting "Nampat!"

My fun Saturday started with feeding cats, making waffles, assembling a new gas BBQ, @drememynd and I meandering through the booths at the Pride Festival chatting with folks, then meeting my nephew for Mexican style lager and excellent food, and a quiet evening reading up on various Tolkien topics with our various cats.
