coming attractions

Weather reports say that the first snow fell on Mount Hood last night, so snowshoeing season’s not far away!

I saw a purple dog today in Waterfront Park. It’s owner had purple hair too; maybe they go to the same stylist?

Autumn is here: it was chilly enough this morning that I wore the warm felted slippers that Nancy made for me :-)

original source

I find that sometimes it’s better to read the original source instead of the media coverage: “Income, Poverty, and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States” from the US Census Bureau, covering the 1960′s through last year (ie, my lifetime). Check out the graphs if nothing else; they are very informative.
