I’m taking off in a few minutes for the Rose City convention, but I just want to say that Portland is a lovely, fun city. I don’t get down there that much (maybe every two or three years), but I always have a great time there. (Home to one of the U.S.‘s great book stores—-Powell Books.) Also, as far as losing 500,000 jobs—-I don’t think so. Portland’s always been about the same size as Seattle where I live—-620,778 (2011.) According to Wikipedia in Portland had a population of 587,865 in 2012.
