The Smoking Gun
Check out that mug shot. Apparently, or should I say allegedly, someone in our family was cruising down the Beaverton/Hillsdale Highway going a touch over the speed limit on March 3rd at 5:18pm. Here in Portland they have these photo radar vehicle monitors. The slick high speed camera records the ‘violator’ on film and then sends them a ticket through the post. Efficient and sneaky. For me, the photo they sent along with the ticket is almost worth the price of the violation.

It’s been a busy time here with the parents visiting. Activities have included: lots of clay art and pottery gallery shows (as part of NCECA), bamboo shopping and backyard bamboo fence planning, a visit to my Alma Mater (college kids are looking younger and younger!), cribbage playing, eating, and an unfortunate trip to the Emergency Room. No fun.

Bonus: A small Flickr set of cribbage board graphics. Peter and I visited a fellow member of the Cribbage Board Collectors Society. This women’s specialty is the collection of Bakelite boards from the 30’s and 40’s. Cool boards with some great type on the vintage packaging. The women is a real life CSI DNA specialist. Her license plate reads ‘4N6 DNA’. She also collects and makes Egg Art. Fascinating.
