  1. Many Pacific Northwesterners don’t have consistent access to air conditioning: Fewer than two-thirds of households in Oregon have air conditioning, according to Kaiser Permanente Northwest. According to 2019 figures from the U.S. Census Bureau, Seattle has the lowest rate of air-conditioned homes of any major American city. Only 44% of the homes in the metro area have air conditioning. In the Portland metro area, that figure was 79%.
  2. All three are prob too high for here but we shall see. 94 would really be hard to do but this type of setup would be the way
  3. Tuesday’s BOX point n click has me at 98. That is unusual It is hard to even get above 90 here
  4. Well...Anchorage might have less. I would say of major cities yes
  5. And his wife died in that. I can’t imagine something like that event
  6. Can you throw one up for Portland OR?
  7. One thing I didn’t realize (based on what friends in the PacNW are telling me) is that very few people in that area have AC.
  8. It was sad that no Canadians were around. That area is usually wall to wall people from Nee Brunswick and Nova Scotia etc
  9. Pretty much all of the businesses we went into had signs saying masks were not required if fully vaccinated. But no one was checking etc. it’s done.
  10. It was funny to see masks on sale in shops for 50-75% off.
  11. One note about masking. We just got back from our little Maine trip. The hotel we stayed at had a “mask required” in common areas sign on the door. As we were checking in (we put on masks, the employee behind glass did not) we asked and he confirmed masks were required in common areas. Ok. So we masked when in those areas. Almost no one else did. It was awkward. In restaurants, shops etc almost no one had masks other than servers at some restaurants. It was odd
  12. Heading back today. We came up for three nights. Good little break
  13. I voted R in the Presidential primary. But not for the orange guy
  14. 1 reported so far but I’m sure there will be others. Sinkhole maybe?
  15. Potentially 112F in Portland Sunday. Sick stuff. I have friends there (from New England)
  16. Also, had lunch at Sebago Brewing. Very meh/generic. Sort of like a TGIFridays of brewing.
  17. We are having dinner at MC Perkins cove. My sister loves it
  18. Next door overlooking the Anchorage.
  19. I prefer the RI beaches but Maine has a stunning coastline
