Some unusual messaging on this @ORDems mailer for an #orleg seat: “Vote No” on the incumbent. The meaning is clear, but strictly speaking you can’t actually vote “no” in a race like this. #orpol

The Douglas County Traffic Safety Commission might be the only government body in Oregon that puts a mascot on its agendas, but it would be hard to top this one, tbh.

Another Oregon paper effectively shuts down. The Keizertimes describes it as a “merger” but they are ending the print edition and closing their office.

Happy 10th Anniversary to perhaps the most startling user-submitted update on TripCheck ever.

Me➡️@ScoringChanges➡️@jaysons➡️NY Times. Credit as the one who first pointed it out did not make it to the final product, but a fun experience nonetheless. And obviously, the others did more research than me, who was just making an observation. – at Oregon, USA

I spy some new @Amtrak_Cascades trains at Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station. They’re heading out west later this year after they learn How To Be A Good Train from their east coast cousins. – at Philadelphia, PA

At 30th Street Station in Philadelphia, a large photo of the most elegant electric locomotive this country ever produced: The GG1. As a kid, I remember my father taking me to see the final revenue run of the GG1 through our town. – at Philadelphia, PA
A sign that reads: With their ability to pull more than 12 to 14 passenger cars, the Pennsylvania Railroad invested in 139 GG1 electric locomotives between 1934 and 1943, many of them built at their Juniata Locomotive Shop in Altoona, PA. Photo from the Railroad Museum of PA Library

Police in Halsey have had just about enough of locals commuting around town on their lawnmowers, according to this week’s edition of the Brownsville Times. #orpol – at Oregon, USA

I’m in the middle of North Dakota, where it’s definitely cold but decidedly un-funky.

North Dakota offers a buffet line at their gas stations. We took the one on the right: Corn gas for $1.99/gallon.

The Oregon Capitol was looking pretty sharp tonight. The cherry blossoms seem close to their peak. #orleg – at Salem, OR

One of the curious results of the Oregon Capitol renovation is that all the labels have disappeared from the portraits. Not even a name, much less an explanation as to why this fellow is standing on the beach or why that other guy is sitting by a river with a medical bag. #orpol

I literally have no idea who this guy is, for instance. But he’s important enough to hang on the wall outside the Oregon Senate.
