ICYDK – 911 Alternatives, Basketball Action, & A New Seltzer

We all know we got 911, but there’s two others as well, and dispatchers want you to know about them.  311 is for problem-reporting to the government, if there’s a new pothole or a tree fallen down blocking a road or sidewalk, and then there’s 211, which connects you to services, like housing or assistance.  I hope you don’t need any of them.

The March Madness dream is still alive as Oregon broke some brackets yesterday for the men and beat North Carolina  to continue and play Creighton tomorrow, where they are 5-point dogs.  Also today, the lady Pilots play at 1:30, and the Oregon State women play at 5:00p.  Both will be on ESPN, so you can actually watch these.

And finally, McMenamins is doing a seltzer to help you celebrate your March Madness watch parties.  (I don’t think seltzer really fits the bill, but it was a good segue.)  It’s a raspberry & lemon, refreshing, “low calorie” alternative beverage.  It’s their only seltzer at this time, but…  head in to your local McMenamins and they’ll be right with you in 20 minutes.
