A clever use of duct tape and a plastic bench
Posted on February 7, 2010 by jackieinpdx
See the duct tape used to keep the fender together? The owner of this moto is not a poor man who can’t afford to buy a new fender. But why should he when the duct tape has held it together for years?
You ask “what’s with the plastic bench?” It’s a movable no parking sign of course.

- Who owns this yacht? Or the even bigger ones seen sometimes at the marina?
- How much does one cost? I know “if you have to ask you can’t afford one”.
- How many crew members are needed?
- What’s it cost to operate for a day? A year?
- If I win the lottery would I buy a yacht?

Yeah! Another Cirque De Solei show coming to Portland!
Posted on February 2, 2010 by jackieinpdx
I am a huge fan of Cirque De Solei. I have seen all of the shows in Las Vegas except the adult show Zumanity and the newest Elvis one. The first show I saw was O. It was so awesome. When it was over my three GFs and I could only say “Awesome!” to say how much we liked it. I saw O again a few years later with my daughter and she loved it too. O was just as great the second time around.
Cirqu De Solei has traveling shows. I have seen all but the first one that has come to Portland. A few years ago Tara’s husband Kelly saw his first CDS show. He was in AWE! Another fan was created.
Last night I purchased tickets to the next CDS show coming to Portland KOOZA. I forgot to change my email address on the CDS Member’s site so I did not get the email telling me in advance that tickets would be going on sale. The tickets that I bought today do not have as good as seats as the previous shows we saw but they will still be good. The traveling tent show really does not have any bad seats.
Watch the video on the CSD website.
