ICYDK – Portland’s Traffic Ranked, Partial Lunar Eclipse, & Vote For Jacky

We got a sorta interesting ranking in a recent traffic survey here in Portland.  According to research, our traffic lasts a long time.  We have 6 ½ hours of rush hour here, which is the 4th worst in the nation, behind LA, DC, & Seattle, BUT, we seem to handle it pretty well, because our average commute time is one of the best in the nation.  I guess we’re good at traffic?

Another eclipse is happening tonight in our skies, and there’s a reason I’m telling you about it.  It’s a partial lunar eclipse of our super full harvest moon that begins this afternoon and peaks at about 7:45 this evening.  The reason I’m telling you about it is…  there’s no way you’re gonna be able to see it; the clouds ain’t going nowhere.

We all gotta do our part to make sure Jacky gets the gold in a national contest.  Jacky regularly patrols TriMet, and is an explosive-detection K9 unit for the Port of Portland, but also went to the SuperBowl this year, the Olympic Trials, the All-Star Game, and the World Athletic Championship.  It’s the American Humane Hero Dog Awards; Google it and vote.
