An update on yesterday's "Advanced-Fee" Scammer who my mom and my sister detected, cleverly collected more information, and then left high and dry! (Great job!!) They put the rush on him and he blurted out another number, 617-301-8355, which turns out to be very heavily involved in similar advanced-fee employment ad scams. That number led to others, and to others, and now there's quite a ...
Presumptive Hurricanes Gustav and Hanna, if they proceed as predicted, might be putting the squeeze on the storm-soaked Florida Peninsula as the weekend progresses. Hanna is over open seas, and tracking a bit too far east to influence Florida's weather forecast. The next two days of development bear watching. Gustav is rounding south of Cuba and is entering the Gulf of Mexico, currently ...
It occurred to me as I drove by Tigard Circuit City that I never got back to you on what happened with Circuit City and my two noisy, weak air conditioning units. To close an open issue from a few months ago, my AMCOR air conditioners are working a little better now. The working settings seem to be Fan on "Lo" and Auto/Cool/Fan on Cool.

The unusually cool weather that I noted last Summer seemed to be hanging on to the Portland area again this spring . Of 92 days in the season, we had a full month's worth of days that were 5 degrees or more below average, and a scant 10 above. There were 50 US cities in the Weather.com report, and Portland was the 44th warmest as opposed to the averages. I don't think Al Gore has ever ...
