GOOD MORNING, BLOGTOWN! Let’s go to press.
Oregon firefighters are holding back the many blazes plaguing the state (and causing hazy weather here), but Washington is a different story.

Namaste.
While I am in no way a Trump fan, and recognize the beauties that our Constitution is the oldest living document of its’ kind in the world….
