News: Local | "Law helps place automated electronic defibrillators" | The Register-Guard | Eugene, Oregon: "Now another life-saving device — automated electronic defibrillators, or AEDs — are starting to gain traction as a standard feature of any building where large numbers of people congregate. And a new state law that takes effect today is expected to accelerate that trend. The law requires owners of buildings that are at least 50,000 square feet, and where at least 25 people congregate, to have an AED on the premises."

Starting today, you can't just trash that old TV or monitor | statesmanjournal.com | Statesman Journal: "Residents who toss TVs, computers or monitors in the trash could draw more than disapproving looks from environmentalists. As of today, it's illegal in Oregon and could mean a $500 fine.

Oregon joins 11 other states and New York City with laws banning the disposal of certain electronics."

Ron & Ryan's Excellent trolley adventure.

For years I have wanted to ride the trolley that runs down the way from my daughter's house. So this morning grandson Ryan and I took the trolley all over the place. We were going to just go a short way and come home later. 4 hours later and a transfer to the wrong train we found ourselves in Milpitas quite away from where we were supposed to be. The train kept going somewhere else instead of where I wanted it to go.

When we bought our tickets from a machine at the station it said it would take a twenty dollar bill and make change. Tickets cost $15. I figured it would give me 3 $5's but it tarted spitting out quarters like a Casino Machine. Didn't seem like enough quarters though... Turns out to be $1 coins.. Then I spent the rest of time hiking my pants up as the dollars would drag them down.
