Day 3 of my 30 days of coffee shops brought me to the very Portland Queer Plants. The coffee was decent albeit not fantastic, but the interior was absolutely adorable and incredibly photogenic. Working here just made me smile. I really enjoyed it.
-
For day 2, I visited Autumn Coffee. This building has been a number of dives over the years so I was (again) pleasantly shocked at how nice it was inside! The staff and coffee were both lovely, as well. I sat and worked for a few hours and really enjoyed it. I definitely recommend this spot!

This is a terrible list of backpacks for people with laptops, which includes high school and college kids.

TIL that Nut & Honey Crunch cereal lives on as Honey Crunch Corn Flakes. The commercial from the late 80’s is somehow seared into my consciousness.

Today, I visited Yigebe Coffee. Located in a skinny, unusually shaped triangular building, I was pleasantly surprised by the shop’s interior. Clean, comfortable and quiet; I could definitely see working here. The coffee itself was decent, although not spectacular. Overall, a positive experience.

For my upcoming “30 Days of Coffee Shops”, the basic rules are:
- It must be in N/NE Portland
- It must be “new to me”
- Coffee will be evaluated via a 16oz latte
- Ambiance will be evaluated
- “Remote Work Friendly” will be evaluated
That’s it! Follow along!

One of the things I’ve wanted to do since the end of the Covid restrictions is to revisit my 30 days of coffee shops. Today I finally assembled my new list, and I will be doing the first review this weekend!

How is this a surprise to anyone? Five years ago, I really wanted a Tesla. Now, you couldn’t give me one.

This is the Alaska I imagined before I arrived. Glad to know it can still deliver!

Moose!

Did I mention that Alaska is gorgeous? It’s simply breathtaking here and none of my photos can convey the depth of beauty.

Alaska is kinda odd.

Alaska is spectacular.

Every now and then, Safari on my Mac just stops accepting taps on links. The only recourse is to quit and restart. Refreshing the page does nothing. Seems like a bug.

Working from my backyard is so nice. I should do this more.

Today I learned that former presidents aren’t allowed to drive after they leave office.

The tallest bridge in Oregon. Kind of disappointing it’s not easier to walk out onto.

Beautiful fog

Hopscotch art installation in Portland. Pretty cool!

I’m glad there’s finally reporting about how stores locking up their goods behind glass cases is bad for business. I HATE going to Target, etc now. And I’ve definitely had the impulse to purchase from Amazon to avoid what is now a very unpleasant shopping experience.
