Is that Portland? What is that chain and padlock for? Is that a homeless guy’s tent in a ‘good’ neighborhood?

That looks like more than one tent.

The chain and padlock is to prevent a homeless tent
Homeless are all over Portland, well, at least the areas I checked which were 21st and 23st and Pearl district and neighborhood around the Chinese Gardens.
These are all buzzy neighborhoods typical of any city. Lots of fine dining restaurants expanding onto sidewalks and streets with shops. A real buzzy area with locals and tourists walking and coexisting with many homeless tents.

I can’t imagine anyone is happy to ‘coexist’ with the homeless in your own neighborhood. If I had to walk by a homeless encampment to get to my apartment, I’d be moving ASAP.

Some people have compassion for the less fortunate
Housing prices are going insane in this country
There are RVers here in the park with big rigs. Really didn't want to sell but the prices they are offered, hard to resist

Would you really move as opposed to taking action to try to get rid of them?

terapined,
Do you have a special bracket that holds your bike in the upright position, and if so, where did you get it? There is nothing that I can see from your picture. I have a very similar bike, and truck.
Thanks,
scolist

Quote: terapinedPortland yesterday somebody tried to steal my bike. I take my bike everywhere on the back of my truck. Sometimes I ride it, sometimes I leave it in the truck. Its kind of deceptive doesn't look locked up, just bungie cords. Well it is locked. Somebody undid the bungie cords probably thinking bike not locked to the truck but it is.

The REAL adventures
Nothing fake about these adventures. 100% real
Did some gambling in Vegas but its just to turn points into cash
I use the MGM Master card for everything and pay off the balance every month
I earned 450.00 in points. Ran it all through a VP machine
Got a little unlucky losing 50.00 but had fun trying to hit a royal
Cleared 400 cash to spend on anything.
No way will I use that to play Bac
Bac players are the dumbest people on the planet
Their are actual players that think they can beat bac. ROTFL
Boy, how stupid can you get
I find Bac players the dumbest people on the planet
I did use Caesars Visa one month and earned 50.00 in points
Caesars only allows points for food and shows, lose 50% value if want to gamble with it
So I hit up the Caesars high end buffet and paid and extra 30.
Yup, buffet is now an insane 80.00
Its a fabulous buffet. I really pigged out
Heading to a bike shop
When I was in PDX, somebody tried to steal my bike and messed up a brake cable that I now need fixed.

If you are playing for entertainment and know the house has an edge, not dumb
If you play because you believe you have an edge but in reality you don't, yea thats dumb and stupid

A mile from my house is the Van Gogh ‘immersive experience’. I enjoyed it. Wifey LOVED it. I was mostly in awe of the technology! If you come across a city where it moves to, don’t miss it. I think it is a big financial success. Selling out enough that they just added extra dates. I was a guest of a friend but I think tickets are $50. Beatles one would be a big hit.

I'm taking my time getting to FL
RV life and retired so never in a hurry
Its gonna take me a couple months to get there
I only drive a few hours then camp for a week
Over and over
Will be stopping at various places through the SW to the SE
Places I haven't been before to explore

With winter coming on a lot of the usual spots will presumably be off the menu due to the weather.
Places I'd usually recommend (Nederland, Colo.; Taos, NM) come to mind.
Oh, I suggest you check out the Salton Sea: sounds like something quirky and anti-establishment that you'd enjoy.

One thing that your posts get me thinking about is the amazing artistic ability some people have. Wife’s daughters have amazing talent, and I’ve sold a few of their paintings. I, on the other hand, have as close to zero artistic ability as possible.
