Is it just me or does fall smell so darn good here to anyone else? I just stepped outside and whatever olfactory thing is happening with the sunset is just magical.

Meet Dolly and June! 🐱
This bonded pair of sisters is available through Multnomah Co animal shelter.
June is the perfect companion; she is sweet, social, confident, and cuddly. She is truly perfect!
Dolly is more reserved; she takes comfort in her sister and is slowly but surely coming out of her shell. We are trialing her on an anti anxiety medication and she is doing well with it.
They are about two years old, are healthy and up to date on vaccines, and have had zero litterbox issues.

Link will be in the comments!

Discussion Bicycles are not pedestrians!

986 Upvotes

Bikes are vehicles and are intended to follow the rules of the road. Slamming on your brakes to let a bike cross is not safe or predictable driving. Flipping me off when I use the only mode of communication in a vehicle to notify you of this (a simple honk) is counter productive.

This happened three times in 30 minutes today. That’s it, just needed to vent.

Thanks Portland, I hope you all have a wonderful evening.

Edit: I was just trying to vent a little before I hopped in the shower, I’m so sorry this turned into debate. I posted when I was angry and I shouldn’t have. Slava Ukraine and Free Palestine ✌️

Lost & Found If You Happen to Have Found a Ditched Wallet and/or Keys in NW --

10 Upvotes

Long shot but I've heard sometimes these posts have happy endings. Wallet/Keys combo was yoinked during a fitness class in the NW yesterday morning. I was the fitness instructor -- I definitely do not recommend trying to motivate people to do squats while your phone is pinging with fraud alerts 😢

I talked the cashier at the spot they tried to run up the card and he said the thief came in just holding my cards, no wallet. Maybe they ditched the wallet or keys? Maybe you conveniently found it in the gutter? Please let me know.

Thanks friends!

Ah, loyalty cards ... I might have missed my chance on the free frozen yogurt (and definitely on the Townshend's tea, sadly).

Does any place around town still do punch cards, or is it all apps nowadays?
