Most people know Prohibition in the United States started in 1920 when the Volstead Act went into effect. But in Oregon, Prohibition started quite a bit earlier than that. Actually, it started before Oregon was even a state. In 1844, the Oregon Territorial Government became the first in the United States to outlaw the use, manufacture or sale of booze. The full story of Oregon Territory's first experiment with Prohibition will probably never be known; not a lot of written history has come down...
For mason bees, the wait for their first meal is a long one, six months if it's a day. There's no TV, no smart phone, not even a book to while away the time as these solitary bees hang out in their tight cocoons waiting for the cool temperatures of early spring to break them out of lethargy, to convene at the floral banquet waiting for them among the branches of fruit trees. And because honeybees and other pollinators haven't made an appearance yet, there's more sweetness for the native mason...
I was in a five-year relationship with my brother-in-law's sister, and she left me for someone else. Over the years, I built so many dreams with her I still can't accept what happened. Then I met this gal who was my office colleague. She is beautiful, intelligent, full of energy, and a great sincere friend. She made me forget my worries and made me laugh. I was attracted to her and she was attracted to me, but neither of us confessed our feelings until she accepted a great job offer in another...
When Michael O'Connor books an all-inclusive resort in Mexico through Priceline, he discovers it's only half-inclusive. How can he fix that? I recently booked a room at the Barceló, an all-inclusive resort in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. When I made the reservation, it listed breakfast, lunch, and dinner as included in the rate. But when I read the confirmation, it only said breakfast was included. I booked an all-inclusive hotel stay, and I'm concerned that I might have to pay for lunch and dinner. I've tried to contact Priceline but it hasn't...
Something went wrong with Christine Miller's solar panels. Now the company that was supposed to install them has sent her a bill. Does she have to pay? I have a situation with Sunrun, a company that sells and installs solar panels. After discussing the need for a roof upgrade so that my roof was stable for solar panels, Sunrun began work in preparation for solar panel installation before they had a permit. They stopped the roof work halfway through because they had no permit. They had...
