There are synthetic bloods that can be used, but they're only used in a last case situation because they're really expensive and less reliable than real blood.

If they don't PA has more charges now, TX has charges they can try, and the feds have charges they can get him on. He's done one way or another.

Wow, he sounds like a great patient if he's not complaining and telling the doctors to take things one day at a time. I can't imagine going through what he has and being in good spirits about anything.

"Light rail" means it's not designed to the specs of a system like the NYC subway, which is "heavy rail" because it's designed for heavier passenger loads. "Light rail" handles lighter loads.

If Robert DuPont is worried about pot taking away motivation, maybe he should worry about banning beer and TV, since people can lose motivation to do anything other than those as well.

No weekend public transportation is mischaracterizing the location. It's quite close to the 75 that runs up and down Cesar Chavez, complete with a MAX station at I-84.

It's still a bad idea not to have ground floor retail, but it's only a few blocks off a weekend frequent service line.

I have friends in the architecture community who were involved in some studies on the reuse of some of the retired Portland schools, and apparently getting them up to code will cost a lot more than $5 million. I guess we could cut corners, but when it's a school that seems like an especially bad idea.

With a few sponsors and some volunteers I can't see why they can't keep it going. I hope they succeed, Last Thursday is a fun option to have around town.
