Road side funny...

"Mom and Dad have been kidnapped by NINJAS..
Please help....
Must have money for KUNG FOO lessons... "

and I quote... please exit ramp poet, guy with the sign, odor challenged person, don't be offended that I have shared your roadside whit with my one or two blog readers.

Portland Oregon must in my estimation have the most creative pan handlers in the world. If this is not the case then they have parent kidnapping Ninjas.

A couple of weeks ago I was in Portland and enjoyed the time I was able to spend with my Mom and family. I also must admit that "Portland" did not disappoint either. Strange, unique, kooky, like no other place, these can all be used to describe my hometown. Where else would you actually feel like tipping the exit-ramp fellows just for their creativity and whit? In addition to colorfully witted pan-handlers Portland also grows all things green in abundance. Here are some pics I took of my Mom's yard.

Here are a few other of my most fav. spots in Portland:

A tree lined street just down from my Fathers old dental office

The house on the top of Alameda ridge that would host a Christmas Bazaar

Mt. Hood

The corner of 24th and Fremont

Perrys on the corner of 25th and Fremont
