Yo Fo,

How ya been?

Orygun got’s a crazy mix, eh?…

Red Necks, Conservative Republicans, and a whole lot of Tree Huggers… Not to mention a disproportion quantity of Wind Junkies…

The former tend to run the small cities and counties, such as Hood River…

Yes it’s true, we banned tobacco smoking, but you can get a card to smoke the real stuff… Priorities Strait, Yo…

Have a Happy New Year & Don’t Do Anything I Wouldn’t Do To You…

Happy New Year Fo, For Fo’s Sake….. ~D-Dog

>The City of Hood River has written up a new ordinance proposal

What ever!!!

Who's the individual on the coucil that wrote the proposal?
Where are this person's interest, e.g. do they own a retail only shop?

What complete and utter bullshit!

Has Hood River shut down or wrote a ordinance to shut down all pawn shop in town as well?

Fight Pepi, Fight!!!

oh, congrats on the store!

cheers,

John
