Powell Butte

Pauline and I went to a local Nature Park in the area today and what an incredible day it turned out to be. I think it was in the low 80’s, but hardly a cloud in the sky so we both got some sun since we forgot to take sun lotion.

Mt Hood

Caught this guy eating, he watched us for a few minutes and went back eating and a few minutes later he laid down under a bush in the shade, I took some pics of it but it was too far and too dark so nothing worthwhile came out of it.

Portland…. even our trees are stoned…

The Toronto Raptors have agreed in principle to acquire forward Jermaine O’Neal from Indiana for point guard T.J. Ford, center Rasho Nesterovic, the 17th pick in the draft and a player to be named, The Canadian Press reported.

While The Canadian Press reported the deal Wednesday, citing an unidentified person close to the negotiations, Raptors general manager Bryan Colangelo said he was in the midst of “four or five” conversations with teams involving Ford and a combination of Toronto’s No. 17 pick and/or other Raptors players.

A deal can’t be finalized until July 1, when Ford’s base-year compensation tag comes off the books.

O’Neal is a six-time All-Star. He averaged 13.6 points and 6.7 rebounds in 42 games last season

Now you can sit on the bench trying to heal that bad back you got from tying your shoe…

TOUGHEN UP YOU PUSSY!

This is good news, Ford is a good player who has his own history of back issues, but at least he tries to play while hurt. Of course this could have been great news and we could have had Kevin Garnet or Allen Iverson 2 years ago…. But noooooooooooooo…….

I still miss Reggie Miller, but this is a start…. now just 1 more left from the “brawl” team…. Jamal Tinselly….. Who I am sure is packing his bags now.

THIS WILL BE THE REBIRTH OF THE PACERS!How Do I Feel?: pleased pleased
