This is definitely NOT a cougar or a bobcat! My guess is either a fat house cat or crossbred cat.
One concern that I have is how would the State keep track of driving you do out of state. What proof would they require? I am retired and on a low fixed income. Luckily, I am able to spend the winter in Arizona and I live in my RV and travel through the other states the rest of the year. I only spend one to two months within Oregon and Oregon is my official state of residence and I pay Oregon income taxes. How will they handle my mileage? Also, it seems only fair to tax the millions of visitors to our state. A gas tax does this. A mileage based system wouldn't.
Not true. Oregon's current average gasoline price is $4.17 while Idaho's is $3.77. On top of that, look at other western states. Montana $3.73, Wyoming $3.61, Utah $3.69, Colorado $3.78, Nevada $3.93. Why are these states anywhere from $0.24 to $0.56 per gallon less? Could self serve have something to do with it?
I lived in Portland for 60 years. Then I moved! This is one of the reasons why. The City's plan to reduce traffic lanes to make bike lanes is stupid. This just increases traffic congestion. Why not take a sidewalk on one side of the street and dedicate this space to bikes and leave the lanes intact. It is just an insult to use car license fees to make traffic congestion worse.
I don't believe that a person could ride a motorcycle at 170 mph. Maybe 125 but not 170. It takes a lot of power to get up that fast not to mention how scary it would be.
They went hunting? What can you legally hunt this time of year? Were they using the dogs to help hunt? Is that legal?
Just declare Rodney St. a bike path. Then the City will find lots of money to upgrade it. Simple!
I'm reading a lot more between the lines to this story. The coffee stand is in an old gasoline station pay building. The coffee stand has been in business for 16 years. There is a $100,000 balance owing on a loan. The county threatens to shut them down but then says that they would grandfather the coffee stand in. I think the owner wasn't making any money and refinanced her business to carry her through. Now she closes the business although the county isn't forcing this issue any more and she wants to blame the county. How on earth did she even get a loan of at least $100,000 (or did she)? The coffee stand wouldn't have been able to support this kind of debt. I think she would have closed the business regardless of what the county did.
What lousy reporting! The title says two people were injured. The story says one person was injured and maybe a second one, but they aren't sure. Which is it? Get the facts. Since it was a cab that was involved, it would be of interest to know if the injured person was the driver or the passengers. The story doesn't say. "Traffic is one-way eastbound and only one lane is open" What street is involved? The story doesn't say. The author of this story needs to take a high school journalism class! Or should be fired for incompetence.
