Passed by Voodoo Donuts.  It appears that there was a drunk man in front of that business, unsatisfied with a couple of donuts he had just bought, trying to unload them for reduced price.  At least I think that was what was happening.  I did not take, nor did I buy anything in proper fashion, what with the end result being me standing around with one fewer green bill in my wallet and some sugary pastry with bacon or cereal on it.

Tom Potter has a beard.  It was a signal that he was going to announce no run at a second term, I suppose.  The consensus common wisdom appears to have built itself around the idea that when the history of Portland is written, it will move from Mayor Katz to Mayor Adams, not quite able to squeeze in that Tom Potter interlude.  There seems to be this idea that Katz overloaded the city with mulititude major projects with the insinuation that Mayor Sam Adams will do the same, as is the natural course of things, and as explains the inability to say anything about Tom Potter and the manner in which everything anyone is saying about him comes across as a backhanded compliment.   What the city needs is a few more new trams?  (Maybe a major league baseball stadium?  Sam Adams, of course, being the presumptive next mayor for Portland.  Probably for about the same sort of reasons that Jim Francesconi was, and we all know about his tenure as mayor.
