What’s the one bit of maintenance that people don’t do enough of?

What’s something that pool owners often don’t understand, don’t do often enough, or don’t do well?

Local finds that are way better than they have any right to be.

How about a shoutout for some of your favorite local items that are way better than you would expect / a great deal for the price.

I start because I am really digging on the poke tuna you can find in the deli section at Winco of all places.

A man tries to alert others about the melting of the polar ice caps but his warnings are dismissed as nonsense. Disaster strikes in the wake of global warming.

Hint 1: >!This is not actually a natural disaster movie.!<

If you’re on extended vacation - say a couple weeks or more - how do you maintain your pool so you don’t come back to a mess? Do you hire someone? Train a family member? Other handy tricks?

Pool pump timer

Anyone had good luck with purchasing a timer for the filter? The one on my filter died, and the outlet timer I bought off Amazon died after a year. Curious if anyone has found a brand or product with more longevity.

Someone broke into our car and stole our McMenamin’s passports.

Just feels like a distinctly Oregon thing to have happen. But also, how rude.

Most Infuriating guest pulled out insta 360 during dip kiss

I had a guest at this wedding that kept on going around using his Insta 360 to get shots. I had told this guy multiple times to not get in our way. Then when we get to the ceremony, he pulls it out right when they do their dip kiss. I am beyond mad and frustrated. Sure with photography I can fix this with a little Photoshop. However, we also did video for them too, which I cannot fix. How would you go about telling the bride and groom about the situation? I never made any mention of this problem at the wedding so that the couple could enjoy themselves without having to think about it. This shot was really important for the bride. I can’t even crop the video because the guy waved it from bottom to top throughout the entire dip kiss. 🤦‍♂️

On today’s edition of “Within driving distance of Salem,” might I recommend awol dance collective’s annual Art in the Dark.

Happening this weekend and next at Mary S Young park in West Linn, it’s an evening of aerial dance in the woods. Limited tix still available.

Anyone else suffering from this outage? They got rid of the outage map on their website and they’re horrible at updates.

In celebration of the 40th anniversary of the movie, Brownsville, OR (south near Eugene) is celebrating Stand By Me this Saturday. I went years and years ago and it was a ton of fun. I highly recommend stopping by.

What’s the freeway outside San Jose with all those beautiful hills?

Over 20+ years ago, I took a trip from LA to San Jose. I specifically remember the stretch between I-5 and San Jose that had these gorgeous lush green hills. Which highway is that? And does it dry out a lot in the summer/early fall or is it still pretty green?

This is the movie you pick when you want to terrify your 7 year old into loving Jesus.

I do have one very specific movie in mind, but I’m so excited to see what everyone else guesses as we relive our childhood traumas.
