Dear DamnPortlanders,

After I posted on dp, I was in contact with Channel 6 news. You may have seen me talking about losing my scooter. The response from the community was swift and generous. Several people offered to buy me a new scooter. I spoke to one couple who said they would come to the scooter shop with me to buy a new one. By the time they called the scooter shop to make arrangements, someone else had already paid for a scooter for me. Many other people offered cash donations, stunning in tough times like these. Some people offered scooters they had lying around. All these acts were supportive of a stranger and very kind. Thank you, Portland.

It is a Pride Mobility Victory 10. It is very fast and stable.


Many thanks to Brian Griffiths from a Cut Above Pawn Shop in Beaverton.  

because they just discovered POD. 

i was expecting the first fresh fig i ever ate to be a wowser. 

i wanted to spit it out ungraciously and scrape my tongue against my top teeth.

i liked the taste ok, but i couldn't surpress the reaction that the texture was similar

to a roiling hive of maggots.

I need to fly between Portland or Seattle and New York/New Jersey, or I suppose, Boston. I need to be in New Haven on the morning of July 18.

Some revolutionaries were slighted by the scientific establishments of their time — like Rosalind Franklin's exclusion from sharing in the Nobel Prize for the discovery of the structure of DNA. Described by her peers as a "genius," she exposed herself to massive amounts of radiation to try to get the best possible X-ray photograph of a strand of DNA, dying of cancer at 37. Her image of a double helix provided the crucial evidence James Watson and Francis Crick needed to complete their model, but neither scientist acknowledged her work when they received the Nobel Prize in 1962.
