Community Appliances promptly sent someone to fix my 20+ year old dryer. He had it fully apart in < 5 minutes, and had replaced the belt and both wheels (just about everything replaceable) and reassembled in less than 30 minutes. $265 for the whole thing ($130 for the service call/diagnostic)

They also really wanted to send someone the next day when I called on Monday. They were confused that I was willing to wait multiple days.

We are going to be traveling to #Portland#Oregon at the end of the month. Do you have any recommendations for any of the following?

1) A good #vegan or #vegetarian place? (Esp. South Asian and East Asian)

2) A good, cozy #coffee shop / cafe?

3 Good #tea shops?

4) A good #bakery ?

and a bonus question -

4) Any activity that might be good for a very curious nine-month old?

We really like the city and are looking forward to our trip!

Whew. Tonight was motherfucking Spicy. Goddamn! ICE was something else tonight. Multiple windows broken and damage done to surrounding buildings by ICE firing all kinds of crowd control. Tear gas, flash bangs, Rubber bullets, pepperballs. So many pepper balls. They tear gassed a neighborhood 3 fucking times in ONE HOUR. A protestor was shot in the arm by what appeared to be a tear gas round. They had to go to the hospital. They deployed tear gas well over 8 times. They have been shooting the pepper balls down into the crowd from the top of the building. The crowd has taken to calling them sky Nazis. I think it’s a deserving name Also it looks like an ICE agent was injured when a protestor threw an exploding firework of some kind inside the building. So I guess something good happened today. An ICE agent in Portland got hurt. I’m going to smile and drink this beer on my walk home. I hope this is a final edit. Don’t drink and walk while trying to succinctly describe your evening #Portland #pdx

Some photos from the 4TH of July protest in Portland. These are the types of crowd control, munitions deployed, and the damage they caused. #pdx #Portland
