Premier Storage

Found a storage unit with great security, friendly staff, and oodles of discounts. Additionally, if you're looking for somewhere to store some stuff we've got coupons to get the first month's rent free and a lock (they use fancy in-door locks which normally cost $10). It's definitely in Hillsboro, but the 25% discount on the first six months and free use of their moving truck makes them worth considering.  The storage area's also climate controlled and they play music so your furniture doesn't get cold, hot, or lonely.

So, if you're looking for storage just ask for a coupon and we'll hook you up.

Mandrill Mania

One of the zoo's volunteers has developed an odd relationship with the male mandrill living there.  Somehow, she has become part of the troop.  When anyone approaches this woman, the mandrill runs to the front of the cage, looks at the offending party, then bears his teeth does a move that looks like headbanging, then bounces up and down.  I wouldn't believe it unless I had seen it myself.  Its quite a spectacle.  If you're in the Portland area on a Tuesday or Saturday stop by the zoo and see the mandrill that seems to think the volunteer belongs to him.

Murder/Crime - The Grandpa Bandit

On Sunday, a man accused of being the robber dubbed the "Grandpa Bandit" by authorities, was taken into custody.  Authorities charged him in connection to seven heists padding his pocketbook to the tune of $36,693.  Sadly, for him, the robbery which led to his arrest pocketed him just over $900.

The fact remains, a 60 year old man walked into six banks, BY HIMSELF, with a pistol in his waste-band, and walked away each time the victor.  Somehow, in this age of advanced technology, super-fantastical security, and always-ready citizen-videographers, it only takes an old man with large cajones to make $35,000 a year.  Just sayin...
