Something about this story smells... I've never been asked by an ATM how I want my money, it's always just $20s.

It's not even clear that the suspect had a gun, but you know, what other long, tubular shaped metal object could they POSSIBLY have been carrying near a golf course? 🤔

And those are just the ones that get reported...

Shooter was a secret service agent firing at someone they thought had a gun. Suspect was arrested, no word yet if they ACTUALLY had a gun or not.

(I know, I know, NYP, but after going through 5 articles, this one seems to have the most detail.)

"Initial reports suggested two people were firing at each other. However, sources said investigators now believe the Secret Service agent was the only shooter."

I remember one day waking up to finding 1/2 a rabbit in the yard...

Nah, photo just looks like it.

Top left looks like allspice berries.
Top right are whole cloves you need to grind yourself. They're like little sticks otherwise.
Right hand side are whole star anise (you know, the ones that look like stars.)

All good stuff to have around, but I wouldn't call those three at least "exotic".

Not sure on the rest.

For those unaware, Portland completely replaced it's form of city government AND added ranked choice balloting at the same time.

This is the first election. Nobody is 100% sure how it's all going to work.

Previously, we had 5 City Council seats, all elected at large, and each one in charge of certain city bureaus, with the Mayor controlling the police. None of the seats were accountable to any district in the city and the Eastern half of the city was notoriously under represented.

Now it's going to be 3 council members each representing one of four districts in the city, voting on issues like the Senate, with the Mayor acting as a tie breaker.

Actual bureau management will be turned over to a new City Manager position.

 

Multnomah County has announced it’s going to open two cooling shelters, at Portland Covenant Church and Cook Plaza in Gresham.

They will be open from noon until 9 pm. 

 
 

Because Musk did such a good job with that at Twitter... "I don't understand what it is you do, you're fired."

 
 

"Four people, who had outstanding charges or were out on probation, were arrested and taken to jail. Two qualified for deflection and accepted services. One was issued a citation in lieu of an arrest."

So it's already getting more people into treatment than 110 did... who would have thought? "Get treatment or go to jail" is more effective than "Get treatment or here's a $100 ticket you can safely ignore."

 

“Thursday and Friday are going to be the hottest days of the week,” said Noah Alviz, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Portland, on Tuesday morning.

“Across the Willamette Valley, we could see temperatures up to 100 degrees or even 102 degrees,” he said.
