Some time in early November, the residents of community in the C-Tran district will have a chance to vote on it one way or the other. It has been near a decade of meetings that will come to fruition. I hope this will decide whether our community of both Vancouver and the outlying areas want or do not want this project. So, which ever way it goes, I hope the community can follow that direction and the elected leadership will listen....

The Columbia River Crossing Project - Light Rail vote
Sorry guys, I normally don't get too sap happy with politics around in #TheCouve. But I felt the need to add my generous helping of shlock, since i really have been involved real quietly since 2004 - 05 with the whole process in the back corner of many meetings..... But I wanted to share and sum up my feelings I have had about the local newspaper and its ten years of reporting on the subject, along with its head editor and op-ed page prognosticator...

Daily Couve, she's BACK?
As some might not know, I took a temporary break from posting here at Blogging Around the Pacific Northwest. Family, medical and other life stuff happened. Not much I can do about that. But now that I am back, I thought I might comment on the Daily Couve Cheshire Grinner is back from the past!
Temple Lentz, the bombastic, sarcastic and female conway twitty of her age is back roasting local Clark County politicians with fervor that our local snooze media Op-ED editor combs through the local blog scene to find the little ditties he can borrow for his weekly column to try and awake his career from the dead...
I have to give her credit. I love some of her videos and posts. Though I might not personally agree with the viriliity and word choice she choose to impart on her readers. But hey, she's different and not like many other information choices you can find locally in Clark County or for that matter, in the extended Portland, Oregon media market that we are a part of. Now that a good group of the snooze media has finally figured out Twitter and Facebook, (which will remained un-named because a year or two ago, a lot of them were not on it!)
So if you feel the need to clean out your mental filter with something fun, interesting and different, please head over there and give it a spin. http://dailycouve.blogspot.com/
