Is the chicken local?

Ah, the Great Northwest. Starbucks Nation. Chickens roaming free (on four acres), eating hazlenuts (locally grown) and sheeps milk. Where sheep are sheep and Peter's peter is nervous. Rain.

Green. Everything green.


Water on the brain. Moldy "thought" that produces newspaper headlines like

"Apple Broadens its Ecosystem With its Watch, Payment System."-Seattle Times.




Had not heard of Portlandia the TV show until my daughter, who, temporarily, is attending a college where the students can go barefoot to class, told me about it.

Originating in the land of mold-and-honey Portlandia is a state of mind, it can exist anywhere, anywhere that college students can go to class barefoot, anywhere that there is an excess of dietary roughage, of wheat-germ. Granola. It is a place to know about at a distance where, as my daughter said, "Mom, you know how I love Portlandia??? Well, I'm not living Portlandia."

You don't want to mess with her.
