Outdoor table with canopy needs a new home. It lives in Cannon Beach and the base is too heavy for me to move so you will have to come get it. Free is a good price if you can use it. Text me at (503) 468-8400 if you’re interested. Susan

FREE Tempered Glass panels from deck railing

Submitted By: gstrylewicz@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
I replaced my deck railing and have the old glass panels.

Each panel is tempered glass.

12 large panels: 53.0 x 34.25 inches
2 small panels: 33.0 x 34.25 inches

The house is about to go on the market so come and re-use them. Maybe for a green house? Glass wall? Art project?

The panels are located in the Pine Ridge community of Manzanita and are available for pick-up only. If taking all, I will include hefty suction cup handles for ease of moving.

A Time of Vast Opportunity

Robert Frost was asked by John Kennedy to offer
a poem at his inauguration. It is said this was a first.
Kennedy had requested the poem ‘The Gift Outright’ .Frost had another idea and composed a new poem. Problem was in the wind and glare he was not able to see his newly created poem and had to revert to what he knew by heart, the poem Kennedy had requested. The poem looked back to our revolutionary history with England. Two lines carry into our hearts today.

Such as we were we gave ourselves outright…
Such as she was, such as she would become.

Into the Darkness

We hear their cries as our cries.

Holding a deepening intention,

banners rise, reach into the darkness

of dreams, a percussion guarding

a noble commitment. As we return

to face the daily carnage, we remember

those who have fallen and will yet fall.

We know these wounds will require more

than caring attention and deeper release.

Our freedom, known as a birthright,

is a rare gift, a precious privilege

paid for in young blood offered freely

and ultimate sacrifice. But as our spirits

weary and the water table drains,

neighbors, strangers, and friends are

coming together with a shared question.

What is called for now, as our current

leader continues to live beyond our law?

Is it possible, can we take a selfless

journey, get clear enough, to live

the ancient scroll: Only a deep love

will heal our profound ignorance, what

we truly believe to be so. Let us unite.

Mac Support

Hi all,
I just had another client that thought I don’t work on Macs. I don’t know how the rumor started but it’s been years of hearing that occasionally.
We live in a tight community so I’m attempting to start a new rumor!

For the record, I do work on Macs. The majority of my clients have Macs. As has been the case for several years. I also work on Windows, tablets, phones, networks, security, and everything tech.

The only service I don’t offer is screen repair on tablets and phones.

Otherwise, if you have any tech questions feel free to contact me and I’ll be happy to help.

Thanks again,

Abram

Rockaway Writers Rendezvous Returns April 24–26

Submitted By: cyarnell22@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
The Neah-Kah-Nie Coast Arts Music & Cultural Foundation (NCAM) announces the 4th Annual Rockaway Writers Rendezvous (RWR), a three-day celebration of storytelling and coastal creativity taking place April 24–26, 2026 in Rockaway Beach.

Now in its fourth year, RWR has become a signature spring cultural event on the North Oregon Coast, drawing writers, students, and arts enthusiasts from across Tillamook County and beyond. The festival features craft workshops, youth and adult contests, open mic performances, a keynote address, and an awards celebration.

New in 2026, NCAM expands its partnerships to include the Tillamook County Library and Tillamook Bay Community College, alongside its ongoing collaboration with the Rockaway Beach Business Association. These partnerships strengthen educational opportunities while reinforcing ties between local institutions, businesses, and the creative community.

Accessibility remains central to the festival’s mission. Admission to Saturday’s full day of programming—featuring eleven workshops plus the keynote—is a modest $25, and includes the Sunday morning awards breakfast. Students attend free, and both Friday and Saturday evening open mic events are free and open to the public.

“Rockaway Writers Rendezvous is about more than writing,” said Don Backman, President of NCAM. “It’s about creating space for voices to be heard, for generations to connect, and for our community to gather around creativity during the quieter coastal season.”

This year’s keynote speaker is: Dr. Julie Albright. Dr. Albright will present “The Human Story Behind the Screen: Writing Connection in Disconnected Times.” In an era when we’re more digitally connected than ever yet feel increasingly isolated, how do writers craft stories that truly bring people together?

Dr. Albright will be speaking Saturday, April 25 at 1:30 pm at Rockaway Beach Community Church in the Main Hall.

Workshops will also be taught by: Karen Thompson Walker, Adam Sawyer, Louisa Peck, Sydney Elliott, Michael Bergmann, Duncan Birmingham, Marc Johnson, Lori Tobias, Nik Xandir Wolf, Jon Albertson, and Cheryl Wanner.

Events are hosted at multiple venues throughout Rockaway Beach, encouraging visitors to explore local lodging, restaurants, shops, and public spaces. By anchoring the festival in April, RWR supports local businesses during the shoulder season while reinforcing Rockaway Beach’s growing reputation as a year-round cultural destination.

A highlight of the weekend is the annual RWR Anthology, a professionally produced collection of selected poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and songwriting from both youth and adult writers. Proceeds from the event support arts scholarships for Tillamook County high school students pursuing creative studies.

Marina Hyde, a Guardian columnist, who I think specializes in no holds barred sarcasm and humor, tossed a good one this morning. Here’s the part I thought was particularly funny:

You hear such a lot from Maga Republicans about how liberals think Trump voters are stupid. But not nearly enough about the far more salient point: that Donald Trump thinks Trump voters are stupid. Naturally, nobody deplores his own people as passionately as a populist, but even by those exacting historical standards Trump really does regard his supporters as a honking great throng of halfwits. How else to explain his seemingly retrofitted claim yesterday that the AI picture he posted of himself as Jesus was “me as a doctor.”

…. It depicts Trump in Jesus robes and holding a glowing orb of something – presumably heavenly light or radioactive material he omitted to tell Congress about – which he is transmitting restoratively into the forehead of some midwestern Lazarus. I’m sure we’d all love to know how the AI prompt for it could be “show me Donald Trump as a doctor”, or indeed how the LLM of choice would react when called out on its subsequent error. “You’re right – I overstated that. I shouldn’t have implied the US president is a benign deity who can raise the dead. To clarify – he’s a malignant narcissist and a tumour on the world. Thanks for catching that.”
