I live in Gresham, on the east side not far from Boring, so almost out in the countryside.
It is an absolutely gorgeous day in the Portland area today. We drove through Portland the other night as our grandson had a soccer game in Aloha. Portland looked just beautiful with the lights on the buildings and the beautiful bridges with everything reflected in the water of the Willamette. It makes me sick about what Trump is intending to do. We went up to Seattle for a Mariners game two weeks ago. Between the Sounders and the Mariners playing at the same time, downtown Seattle was filled with happy people. It was not a warzone up there either. Trump needs to keep his hate and destruction out of the Pacific Northwest.
