Not at the one that hired me
Plus one to all of you because that's the first thing I thought too. If they played "singin in the rain" at a MAX stop I'd probably get a little creeped out.
I love iced coffee drinks but I rarely treat myself to one because they are a ripoff. It's mostly ice yet they charge the same price as an ice free hot drink. One exception I know of is the Iced Kicker at Dutch Brothers. It's still mostly ice but at least they drop the price down to $2.00. It's been a while since I've had one though so maybe it's gone up.
I wish more companies were like this. There have been too many companies in the last couple years who have been paying executives more and more while taking government bailouts to keep their failing businesses afloat, all while letting their employees take the financial burden of their poor management. It's sickening.
Steve Jobs is no doubt very wealthy, but he isn't worth nearly as much as most people would be if they were CEO of such a valuable company. His stake in Disney is actually worth a lot more than his stake in Apple.
I visited Grand Junction one summer and had the chance to see the Colorado National Monument. There's something about the contrast between the red-colored rocks and the green foliage that is just beautiful. Also beautiful is the nearby Grand Mesa. It's a 10,000 foot high flat-topped mountain covered in trees and lakes.
I suggest you look into Kohlberg's six stages of moral reasoning. He considered level one, the pre-conventional stages common with children, to be concerned with "crime" and "punishment" and only one's self interests. He considered level two, the conventional stages common with adults, to be concerned with law and order and social norms. The problem with this level of moral reasoning is that how normal abnormal a behavior is is not always associated with whether or not it is moral. The third level is post conventional, a level that not all adults reach unfortunately. At these stages, a person forms their own ideas about what is right and wrong, based on reasoning that goes beyond saying a 2000 year old book or a 200 year old law tell me so.
To say being gay is morally wrong just because the Bible says so, and that gay people will be punished by God, is to be at a child-like level of moral reasoning. To say that being gay is immoral because it is not "normal" is making it to the second level.
I am at level three. I do not believe it is morally wrong to be gay. Gay people can do morally wrong things just like anyone else, but how can it be morally wrong to be born a certain way, especially when by itself being gay does not harm anyone?
I felt a shake just before 8. I wouldn't have noticed it but I was still lying in bed reading. I later checked the earthquake app on my phone and sure enough there was a small quake at that time, yet it does seem like it would be too far away to feel. One thing to note is that due to geologic irregularities, some areas may experience greater shaking than other areas that are closer to the epicenter.
I thought the same thing about the South Sister. I periodically search for any new reports on the South Sister, and the latest I heard was that the bulge stopped growing a few years back. I think it is still a potential threat though. The magma could start moving again at any time. Then again, the mountain could go dormant forever. It's pretty fascinating to me.
It'd be nice for those affected to get some kind of timeframe so they can plan accordingly. Glad nobody was hurt at least.
I don't think a car roof caving in is likely to be fixable. It looks like the Jag might have gotten pretty lucky though. Can't tell for sure from the picture though.
There are many people in Eastern Oregon who vote for democrats too. Would you kick them out of your country? Also, If you formed your own country, the bigger cities wouldn't be helping to pave your roads, fund your state parks, education, etc. By the way I'm not personally a big city person, but I'm glad we have them because without them we wouldn't have many nice open spaces.
