Kudos to the Portland Redditor that shared the simple 4-filter box fan idea. It's a lifesaver of a little cube. That smoke came in so fast yesterday. By the time I saw the AQI had shot up to like 200 the inside of my apt was already stinkin and giving me a headache. Only took about 10 minutes for the filter cube to get the indoor particulates down to green levels. Is this a win in the post-climate change hellscape?

At least we are getting some ☔️ almost a whole month earlier than last year. Hope it dumps in the mountains too.

Beneath this FM there are several spooky tunnels. I was told this by someone who worked there. The store itself is quite the vortex of chaos. Meat thievery, people barfing up blood, parking lot bare knuckle fighting, mean old men and ladies. No dog action though. That seems to be confined to the Interstate FM where I once saw a very distraught pit bull being pushed in a basket.
Got a FM story? Feel free to post. Remember Eve’s?

Hello, I live in Portland and want to kill your tree of heaven. They are an invasive species and I want them gone. If you have a tree of heaven and want it removed, let me know and I will remove it for you. Please respond to this post or DM me. I am willing to do it in Portland and most suburbs. Please be the property owner or have their permission. Will try to work around your schedule.

A lot of smoke came in the city fast so went to PurpleAir and did a double take at our little bubble we got going on. Rain can’t come soon enough.

My husband and I decided to go to Kelley Point Park last week. Long story short, we were walking along the river barefoot, he stepped on something (perhaps a barb of some kind) that he felt had a venomous feeling to it. moments later, he went into anaphylaxis, tongue, face, feet, hands swelling, turned red, hives and all. We went to the ER and he is fine now, but still experiencing symptoms when the steroids wear off. We are just so confused by what it could have possibly been that he stepped on.. the doctors didn’t seem to have a clue. No known allergies, he is not allergic to bees or anything like that.

If anyone has any information or idea what this could have been that he stepped on, ai Would love to hear. Thank you.

All the inner westside Chevrons jumped over $6 this morning after the weekend strikes on Iran -- 4th & Burnside, 4th & College, 21st & Lovejoy, and this one at 22nd & Burnside that I took a photo of this afternoon. Chevrons are always pricey, but with Trump vowing more "retaliation" on Iran, other stations could be next.

Seriously

Y'all I am on a bus and just spotted a dog running loose on the street. White and camel colored hound mix, at a guess. Last saw it running west across the street and then south from around Holladay. That's all I got, but maybe it'll help someone.

Our final runner was spent

It's that time again!

It smells strongly outside. I thought the AQI would be 150+!

Its a day or so early, but was that in the air this morning?
