    And I'm sure your skin looks like that of the dashboard of a '72 Oldsmobile sir. #BAM

    Had to google what a dashboard of a '72 Oldsmobile looks like, and... no.

    I am not one of these old dudes that spend all their time in the sun shirtless. I like the warmth and I like the sun - but I am fairly careful with exposure.

    Outstanding. As I head to Hawaii in a week I need to do the same.

    Is Portland not as much of a bad place as we all think?

    It isn’t. I think a lot of this is based on the riots from two years ago, and how fucking ugly it is in many parts with the graffiti and tents. All comes across as some lawless violent city.

    Downtown Portland was terrible the last few times I was there. Not something I look forward to visiting anymore.

    Don't forget about the areas that still look like scenes straight from the Walking Dead with burned out RVs and tent cities popping up. Doesn't help with the perception of the city, even if the reality isn't that bad.

    It's terrifying down there... With juvenile delinquents like these running around in downtown...

    I can certainly understand why grown men who play professional sports would be terrified.
