Trains still will use short...

“A combination of favorable weather conditions and tremendous work put in by the fire teams has allowed us to lift the remaining evacuation notices related to the Lookout, Horse Creek and Pothole Fires today.”

May it not stop until July!

After having my CVS appointments cancelled, I was able to get three out of four of my family members vaccinated today, and the fourth (me) will be vaccinated tomorrow....

Anyone know where to get an updated COVID-19 vaccine in town? I was signed up for one through CVS for today, and they just canceled my appointment.

The Lane County History Museum is hosting a big party to celebrate their re-opening on Saturday. If you’ve never been there, it’s pretty nifty.

I was out there when it was still sprinkling just a little bit. It was nice. And we have a solid stretch of rain coming up in a few days. Maybe this dreadful summer is finally ending.

Just curious how other folks in the area are planning to vote. I’m voting no. It seems like every other union in the region fully supports him, and the one that doesn’t… they’ve been downright weird about it.

Everything was beautiful this morning, but the air is smokey again now. Anyone know which fire it’s coming from?

Lane County Sheriff’s Office: Level 3 (GO NOW) evacuation for All properties on Cerro Gordo Road and Ross Lane...

I was a young beginner software engineer, and was out of town when it happened, at a bootcamp for MCSE studying. We had nothing to do but keep going with our studies - we couldn’t fly home since air traffic was all halted - so we just put our heads down and tried to focus on the task at hand....

Did some light reading today through the campaign finance sections of several GOP PACs to see which local businesses might be donating to them. I figured that like looking through local health inspector reports, there might be a few surprises. As they say, every dollar is a vote, so hopefully you can use this information to vote...

My son has some vision issues that I think should be checked out. Do any of you have a recommendation for a pediatric opthalmologist by chance?

At approximately 3:00 a.m. on September 6, 2023, Eugene Springfield Fire (ESF) was dispatched to a house fire in the 600 block of 8th Avenue in Eugene.

This guy pulled up into the Albertsons parking lot on 30th, with plenty of room, and just… left his car like that.

Me, I’m thinking of taking another day trip to the coast before the summer completely fades away.

That is all!

According to his Facebook page, Lefty - a fixture of the Whiteaker community - has passed away. Just thought I’d let folks on Lemmy who aren’t keeping up on Facebook these days know.

If the smoke isn’t too bad, this looks like a fun way to spend a Sunday.
