Just another rainy afternoon

I decided to turn on the noon news this afternoon as I ate my ham sandwich. Where else but in the Pacific Northwest do you get this list of stories?

• Let's recycle a 60-year old bridge. We are Portland, after all, and the cyclists need it. So what if it costs over a million dollars more than a new one?
• A pregnant man in Bend! Really?
• And from Seattle, but still in the news here - Gallery owner welcomes vandals who smeared feces on her windows. "Come, tell me why you're so angry."
• Is that really DB Cooper's parachute that they found here in Clark County?
