c99% Portland OR meetup 2/10/19
Submitted by Cassiodorus on Sun, 02/10/2019 - 6:41pm
We had five people show -- Cassiodorus, granma, detroitmechworks, earthling1, StudentOfEarth. We ate good Chinese food and had lots of fun. I ordered the gai lan and the salt and pepper tofu. We talked about science fiction and my book. StudentOfEarth talked about Bend and about people who were 72 who took a piece of dry land and built homes and farms from scratch. earthling1 talked about his southern California past. To those who were snowed out: we missed you -- should we have another one when the polar vortex quits?
Great thanks to granma for helping write this short memo.

Had a great time
Surprising range of topics. Familiar words now with a face made it special.
Best topic...... we gotta do this again.
Neither Russia nor China is our enemy.
Neither Iran nor Venezuela are threatening America.
Cuba is a dead horse, stop beating it.
Good for you all
Making it real! :>)
Moonlight reflection on new snow in trees and on mountain sides
from earlier in the day was stunning. Good to see everyone.
Still yourself, deep water can absorb many disturbances with minimal reaction.
--When the opening appears release yourself.
Sounds like it was a lot of fun!
Glad to hear you all made it happen

That's a beautiful thing.
I was instantly reminded of the first time I visited Portland. (Reed College) I had Chinese food in a restaurant with a funny name. Wish I could unlock more of that memory. In my life, good things amazing things always started in Portland.

I was there in spirit, snowed in in Seattle.
This spring or summer hopefully there will another NW meetup.
Amazingly good turnout considering
The snow storm pounding the nw. Portland not get hit as hard?
Portland did not get as much snow as WA
We have a weird forecast for tonight, lots of rain or up to 6 inches of snow. We have to look out the window tomorrow morning to see what happened overnight.
In driving back through southern Oregon yesterday
The rain part of this storm was mostly a northern Oregon thing.
