Keep Portland Weird.

Portland residents love their "Keep Portland Weird" bumper stickers, and there's a reason why: because Portland is weird. Or it can be weird. In the past few months we've witnessed the following with our very own eyes:

- A 450-lb. pumpkin growing in front of someone's house, about two blocks from us. Normal? I think not.
- Some dude walking laps around Multnomah Village loudly rapping along to Eminem's "Stan" on his iPod. Strange -- we've actually seen him several times.
- A three-legged bulldog gleefully strolling down the street.
- A man jogging backward down the street in front of our house.
- A woman vomiting in the middle of a downtown street. She finished, wiped her mouth, and kept walking.
- A fox right in the middle of Gabriel Park. Okay, not weird, but freaky!

We'll keep chronicling the "weirdness" we see -- it's what keeps life interesting around here. :)
