Two items in the Oregonian caught my eye today.
The first was the hilarious article about Pendleton's relationship to "the Dude" sweater in The Big Lebowski. They made it! Per the Oregonian article, the original sweater from The Big Lebowski is to be auctioned for charity later this month. At auction it is expected to go for somewhere in the $4000 to $6000 range. In the article, Pendelton says they are bringng back "the Dude" (and yes, calling it that) at a price of $188. I didn't, though, find "the Dude" on the Pendelton website.
The second article cited Portland General Electric and PacifiCorp as ranking second and third in the sale of green power (through voluntary programs) to their customers. It is no surprise that clean power is important to Oregonians. We like to think of our hydroelectric power as "clean", and ignore or are unaware of the coal fired power sources in our grid. Anyway, it was an interesting piece of paying for green power. We started buying green power years ago. I hope your household has made that choice also.
