Daylight Savings Time This Coming Sunday

October 30th, 2011

Dailylight Savings Time is coming up.  Just a reminder from me to you. ;)

It started in March and ends this next weekend.

On November 6th, which is next Sunday, at 2am, remember to set your clocks back one hour.

The way I always remember how it works is “spring forward, fall back.”  Easy peasy!

Portland Bridges Are Done

July 6th, 2010

steel bridgeWow! I finally finished my long-overdue Portland Bridges page on Uniquely Portland Oregon yesterday. It was a real bear for me.

There are a total of 12 bridges that cross the Columbia and the Willamette Rivers, 5 of which are draw bridges. That’s quite a bit of research to do! I wanted to provide my readers with good, solid information, but also wanted to keep the personal tone that I’ve adopted for both of my Site Build It sites. That seems to be something that my visitors appreciate. The opinions, the memories, the hands-on adventures.

First I had be able to identify all the bridges in Portland and then do the research for each. Traveling into the city as frequently as I do helped a lot. And now, it’s up on the site and I am happy with the outcome.

So, I’m sitting here in City Coffee on 4th Avenue, awaiting my court case to come up at City Hall, trying to get myself out of my first ticket ever. I’m scared to death!

Who has had a speeding ticket here and what’s the process like? Soothe my nerves, please! ;)
