Got a new toy, some EL Wire. Went down to 1000 steps to play with it. I see myself using this stuff quite a bit. I really liked it.

By the end of the decade, Portland domestic architecture had moved decisively away from Queen Anne irregularity toward broad, planar compositions influenced by the Craftsman and late Shingle Style traditions. Here the enormous front gable acts as a single unifying form sheltering a full-width upper sleeping porch. The gable surface is treated as a taut geometric field of continuous shingles interrupted only by a shallow arched panel and a restrained band of windows. Ornament is sparse and architectural rather than applied. The emphasis falls on proportion, horizontal layering, and the dramatic sheltering quality of the roof mass, signaling the transition into a more modern domestic aesthetic.
About Buckman
Buckman is one of Portland’s oldest and most historically layered east-side neighborhoods, a district where the city’s transition from Victorian boomtown to modern streetcar metropolis can still be read directly in the streetscape. Bounded roughly by the Willamette River, East Burnside Street, Southeast 28th Avenue, and Hawthorne Boulevard, the neighborhood developed rapidly between the 1880s and the First World War as East Portland evolved from a separate municipality into an integral part of the expanding city. ([en.wikipedia.org](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckman%2C_Portland%2C_Oregon?utm_s...))
Buckman’s earliest growth was tied to industry, rail transportation, and river commerce. The west side of the neighborhood near the river filled with warehouses, mills, rail sidings, and small factories, while residential development spread eastward along a regular street grid served by streetcar lines. Unlike some later Portland neighborhoods planned around a single social class, Buckman emerged as a mixed urban district from the outset. Workers’ cottages, duplexes, boarding houses, flats, and substantial middle-class residences often stood within a few blocks of one another, giving the neighborhood a density and variety that still distinguish it from more uniformly residential areas farther east.
Architecturally, Buckman preserves one of Portland’s clearest records of the transition away from the high Victorian era. The oldest surviving houses, dating from the late 1880s and 1890s, are predominantly Queen Anne in character, with asymmetrical massing, bays, spindlework porches, steep roofs, and richly varied textures. Yet around 1900 the neighborhood entered a transitional phase in which local builders began simplifying Victorian forms while experimenting with new roof masses, broader surfaces, and more unified facades. Some houses from this moment show the influence of the eastern Shingle Style, particularly in their immense front gables, recessed upper porches, and continuous shingled wall planes. These houses often treat the roof and upper story as a sculptural composition rather than merely a cap placed atop the structure below.
What followed in Buckman, however, was not primarily the spread of the fully developed Craftsman bungalow. Instead, the dominant post-Queen Anne form became the Portland four-square: practical, cubic, two-and-a-half-story houses with broad pyramidal or hipped roofs, centered dormers, and full-width front porches. These houses reflected the city’s enormous need for respectable middle-class housing during the streetcar expansion years from roughly 1905 to 1920. Their appeal lay in efficiency, economy, and visual solidity rather than artistic expressiveness. While some incorporated Craftsman details such as exposed rafters or tapered porch supports, the type itself derived more from national American Foursquare patterns and builder traditions than from the philosophical ideals of the Craftsman movement.
The four-square gave Buckman much of its lasting residential character. Block after block filled with sturdy, box-like houses that abandoned the restless asymmetry of the Queen Anne in favor of balanced facades and rational planning. Ornament became restrained and concentrated around porches, window groupings, and cornices rather than spread across every surface. The effect was urban, respectable, and quietly modern without aspiring to the handcrafted romanticism associated with high-style Craftsman architecture.
Commercial development proceeded alongside residential construction. Belmont, Morrison, Hawthorne, and Grand Avenue became lively streetcar corridors lined with stores, apartment buildings, taverns, workshops, and mixed-use commercial blocks. Washington High School emerged as a major civic landmark, while Lone Fir Cemetery remained a visible reminder of the district’s nineteenth-century origins and of the pioneer generation that first shaped Portland’s east side.
Like many close-in American urban neighborhoods, Buckman changed significantly after World War II. Some larger houses were subdivided into apartments or rooming houses, industrial activity declined, and deferred maintenance became common as investment shifted toward suburban development. Yet Buckman escaped the wholesale clearance that destroyed many older urban districts elsewhere in the United States. By the 1970s and 1980s, its surviving nineteenth- and early twentieth-century building stock attracted artists, preservationists, students, and small business owners drawn to the neighborhood’s architectural texture and proximity to downtown.
Today Buckman remains notable less for monumental landmarks than for the cumulative richness of its ordinary urban fabric. Victorian survivors, transitional shingled houses, practical four-squares, early apartment buildings, commercial storefronts, and remnants of industrial Portland coexist within a compact street grid that still conveys the layered development of the inner east side. More than many Portland neighborhoods, Buckman preserves the physical evidence of the city’s evolution from an exuberant late Victorian settlement into a mature twentieth-century streetcar neighborhood shaped by practicality, density, and incremental growth.

Restless Heart was welcomed to the Princess Theatre Saturday night.
The group played all their best known hits, and were on stage for about 2 hours. They also did a medley of songs by groups that helped propel their 30+ year career. As front man Larry Stewart commented, "these groups allowed our bus to follow their bus into many venues across the country."
The current band consist of:
Larry Stewart – lead vocals, rhythm guitar
John Dittrich* – drums, background vocals
Paul Gregg – bass guitar, background vocals
Dave Innis – piano, keyboards, rhythm guitar, background vocals
Greg Jennings - lead guitar, background vocals
*John was replaced last night by Chris Golden. John was out with some back issues and will return to play with the band soon.
I've had a lot of trouble sleeping this week so I decided that instead of sitting around trying to sleep...I'd find something productive to do. Hudson River 4 am
The Roma, often romantically known as Gypsies, are Europe's largest ethnic minority, known for their vibrant culture, deep family bonds, and nomadic heritage. Originating from Northern India centuries ago, the Roma journeyed across Europe, embracing a life intricately woven with music, storytelling, and close kinship, all amidst enduring struggles for acceptance and dignity.
Poem
In emerald woods and twilight's glow,Caravans whisper soft and slow,Flames dance lightly, weaving dreams,Under stars, near crystal streams.
Tambourines jingle tales of old,Legends wander, brave and bold,Fiddles sigh their mournful tune,Echoes rise beneath the moon.
Feet that roam through paths unknown,Hearts unbound, forever grown,Fortunes whispered, destinies spun,Life in freedom, always begun.
Earth and sky, their only home,Gypsy souls, forever roam,Romantic visions softly drawn—Children of the restless dawn.
Three Haikus
Campfires glowing soft,Stars guide wandering hearts homeward—Night whispers freedom.
Scarves dance in the wind,Caravan wheels hum gently—Roads whisper secrets.
Fortunes softly told,Hands tracing life's fragile lines—Destinies unfold.
For a couple summers in the mid-to-late 1990s, my brother was a counsellor at St. Anne's Camp. He'd never been back since, so I drove him out to revisit memories from more than half his life ago. It's an isolated outpost, run then and still now by the Anglicans. Deep in the woods and far from power, peaceful place to be on the shores of Gibsons Lake. I've often settled in at the roadside on the far shore, by the old church and graveyard – watching the darkest, clearest skies fill with starlight or moonshine. When I'm here, it's restless to reflect on the meaning of religion in my life. It has little pull when I'm on my own, far from a faith that's naturally based around rules of human interaction. There's little sin or redemption to be found in isolation, and it's equally tough to stray from peace. So I drift distant from everlasting worries, knowing that notions of Heaven hold more heart when you're happily alone. I come back better than I ever did from service.

Don't lose hope! I've given hope back to hundreds. We are learning how Restless Legs Syndrome can be devastating to your general health with an increased in risk of early death for men and women. Dr. Xiang Gao's first study at Harvard Medical School showed a 39 percent increased risk for early death for men and more recently a 43 percent increased risk of early death in women from a study done at Penn State University. For women early death was correlated to cardiovascular disease. Conventional medicine is just beginning to understand the seriousness of this disorder!
