I’m in love with the Oregon wild rice I found at the Saturday Market this week here in Eugene.

Here’s a news story about how it grows here.

My brown rice has been coming from at least California. This stuff is yummy, and local, and it replaces turf farms! How awesome is that?

This is Eugene, Oregon, where the cops doing a “drug raid” (on a residential neighborhood where people were growing weed) felt they needed armored vehicles and grenades. It’s funny; we’re not a violent people. We don’t accept oppression easily, but generally, it’s peaceful protests the powers have to worry about.

But is it any wonder they were scared? I mean, what they were doing is outrageous. And in Eugene, when something’s outrageous, we get outraged.
