I have strong positive prejudice about Portland because I have a good friend
from Portland called Karta (he is Healy of Kettle Chips fame) and the book
BongWater by Michael Hornburg.
There is a lovely line in the book where a police car zooms past in one
direction and a few minutes later another one zooms past in the opposite
direction. The narrator has a stoned insight into this odd behaviour: The
cops are not chasing criminals at all, but rather driving around "lending
ambiance for the tourists".
Regards
Jonathan

[Jonathan] Are you in London, Michelle?
Bikram is huge here. My girlfriend goes to Bikram West in Kensal Green.
I have been down a few times, but I find it hellish. The smell of 1000
litres of sweat baked into the carpet and the heat, that unbearable heat....
[Michelle] It does seem rather excessive, but I expect to enjoy the benefits
of a sauna along with the yoga... if I can only make it through the class.
(*crossed fingers*) No carpet in this studio, thank goodness, so hopefully
the stench will start at zero at the beginning of class, rather than
lingering from years of ick.
I'm in Portland, Oregon, which is technically not a very large city but the
people are quite forward-thinking. Things catch on quickly here.
Especially anything the slightest bit woo-woo.
