Where is your voice in the matter?

"Suffragist City" a small survey of Oregon...
It would have been nice to sit around a coffee shop or a bar and talk with folks about politics and religion but alas everyone seemed to be somewhere else. It was a beautiful autumn day so they were probably on a nice hike in the Columbia Gorge. I walked around until I found a few people at bus stops and on the street and outside of grocery stores and working in their yards or painting houses. I...

The fictional library at the heart of Richard Brautigan’s novel “The Abortion: An Historical Romance 1966” isn’t filled with works by William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens or Jane Austen. Rather, it’s a repository for unpublished manuscripts of any sort by anyone.
Now Vancouver is getting its own version of the library Brautigan envisioned, through a collaboration between the Clark County...

What beautiful boats! Your pictures are beautiful and bring back memories. So small. Yet boats strong enough to bring in generations of food from a fierce northern ocean; sweet nourishment to so many families. Generations of fishing in a way that would never deplete the source of sustenance. Yet that resource is threatened by others ignorance, greed, and imbalance. I pray for every ones...
