Why I love Portland, #567

So I go for lunch and I have a book with me, and the guy taking my order is curious, so I show it to him, and he tells me about this course in cyborg anthropologies, and that I should check out ctheory.net. And then I run into a friend.

And when I walk out to my car, I see that someone has hitched their plastic horse to the hitching post in the sidewalk.

    I saw the same one as habiliments. The fact that people left alone for about a month pleased me greatly.

    Wow, cool there are more lurking around.

    I’ve seen a couple hitched around town. They please me.

    I was gonna say that, but I was with Paul a tthe time, so it doesn’t count as a distinct sighting.

    Ms. Ryan,
    My name is Angelina and I just want to let you know that even though my girlfriend and I are not young adults we enjoyed your book. I actually was visiting your web site to see if you had anymore books out right now because we both believe you are a wonderful writer. Plus it is a breath of fresh air to actually read a love story that we can relate to more easily. My girlfriend Kim actually went to the library and looked up lesbians to try and find a novel about women. Once again you are a wonderful writer.
