ICYDK – Ladies Basketball, Leafblower Bans, & An Amazing Church

3 ladies’ basketball stories all went down this week, all amazing.  The Portland Pilots defeated Gonzaga, and they’re going to March Madness.  Cameron Brink, who graduated from Mountainside is leaving Stanford for the WNBA, and WNBA superstar Sabrina Ionescu got married this weekend.  The ladies are just more interesting right now.

The Portland City Council has made their decision for the future, and gas-powered leaf blowers are not gonna be a part of it.  The vote to ban them was unanimous yesterday, and the ban will start phasing in in 2026, and be complete by 2028, so as for the one you already own, there are any number of folks in the suburbs who I’m sure would buy it.

And finally, all churches care about caring for the poor, but All Saints Episcopal in Portland is becoming a machine.  They already feed 1100 people every weekend, but they are looking to build a standalone structure where they can pass out food in a drive-thru style, like a Dutch Bros.  That.  That is how you serve your community.  Amen.
