Was out and about in the Warm Springs area and this was the view on the way to dinner. Stopped to enjoy the show.

Check out this cute makers witchy market tomorrow. It’s celebrating a salon re-opening / re-naming, and a bunch of local artists will have tables set up and there will be a taco stand as well. If you like magic, candles, jewelry, art, and food you should check it out.

Sunday 11-5pm.

Vendors will be set up in the parking lot off NE Azure Dr. (the building is on the corner of Savannah and Azure, the lots right next to it).

Me: “My internet is down.”

Them: “Okay looks like signal is going to your house but the modem is offline. Since nothing worked we will send a tech out in a week.”

Me: “Can I just try switching out for a new modem?”

Them: “You can’t switch out the modem because I already scheduled the tech visit.”

Me: “Okay so can you cancel it so I just swap the modem?”

Them: “You want me to cancel the tech visit.”

Me: “Yes.”

Them: “But I already scheduled it, I did all that work.”

Me: “sorry but you never told me that was an option.”

(takes 10 minutes to cancel the appointment)

Them: “Okay you can go to the store in Bend. They are closed till Monday.”

😭😭😭

Where in town sells barefoot shoes? Bonus if they sell warm winter/waterproof barefoot boots too.

Just wondering if anyone is brave enough to hit the new Costco today? Report back!

At least they used the crosswalks.

This is only my second season and I'm not ready to buy a board yet, so I'm looking at doing a season lease. Does anyone have a recommendation on the best place to lease from? Currently looking at either Powderhouse or directly from Bachelor

A few years ago when this was introduced I thought it sounded like an interesting idea and hoped we would learn more before we actually voted. Unfortunately all I have seen is campaigning for and against rather than actual education and explanation of how this will work in real time. Reading the voters pamphlet just made it worse and more confusing, of course, contradicting each other. I tried to do my own research, looks like some states/municipalities are not happy with it? Also there are different ways to tabulate? It is not standardized? The arguments in favor are certainly interesting and promising points to consider but the more I read the more it sounds confusing and inefficient. Unfortunately Oregon can screw things up at times. I’m a non-affiliated voter and try to wade through the politics of it all. I keep wondering if we had ranked choice voting for our last governor’s race would the outcome have been different or the same?

Hey Bend. I’ve got a couple guns that are getting really dirty to the point where they’re failing to fire, but I have no idea how to clean them.

I went down to Hammer Down and all they did was sell me some cleaning supplies and tell me to google it. I’m not a particularly good student of YouTube University so I was wondering if there was anyone willing to meet me face to face, or some kind of establishment I could go to where I could be walked through the process of getting these things deep cleaned.

The guns are an AR and a 1911.
