@iowahawkblog That's a great story @iowahawkblog

After years and years of asking youse guys to share your family photographic treasures with Dave's Car ID Service, it occurred to me I've never really reciprocated by sharing my own. Honestly, I have a bit of a guilt complex over this, and so in lieu of my normal car history blather today I will dig into my own family archives for a few IDs. Starting with a caricature of Yours Truly, age 11, driving a Disneyland Autopia car. It was the big family California vacation of my youth, the one that my siblings and I still talk about. In fact I was vacationing with my brother in Italy recently, hobnobbing at fancy restaurants and wineries and museums and such, and that trip came up. And we both still agreed it was the greatest vacation ever. Anyhoo over the 3 days we spent at Disneyland I lost count of how many times I took a spin at Autopia, along with the mini Model T track. Mom & Dad commissioned one of the park caricaturists to draw cartoons of all of us (I think it was like $5 per), and described our various personalities. For me? "All wants to do is drive those cars." So I guess this is probably the closest you'll get to an origin story from me. Maybe some day I'll ask AI to turn this image into a 1970s Hanna-Barbera cartoon.

@zillowgonewild According to Gemini AI: "The $400,000,000 listing at 11201 Chalon Road in Bel-Air is currently owned by an entity widely reported to be tied to Qatar's ruling Al-Thani family. Specifically, the property is registered to Chalon Holdings LLC."

@zillowgonewild Who is the owner/seller?

🚨🚨🚨 $400,000,000!!!!! Yes you read that right!! Here it is friends!! The most expensive home we’ve ever listed! The crown jewel of Los Angeles!! This home took a decade to build and was completed in 2018 on 8 acres of mostly flat space with views of downtown to the pacific Ocean. There is over 70,000 sq ft across multiple structures and is regarded as “the most expensive home in the USA (what better way to celebrate it’s 250 year anni than buying this). The main house has 10 bedrooms, 13 staff bedrooms and the guest house has 6 guest bedrooms with 10 more staff bedrooms. Currently listed for only $400 million.

@joesimonssays Amen! They did better than all the smart people said they would, and they will be even better next year

Characterizing the 25-26 Blazers season as anything but successful is disingenuous. Just because they weren’t a title contender doesn’t mean the past six months were a waste of time.

@kevin2kelly Ultra-high uncertainty? That's life

My latest scenario: we are entering a period of permanent (decades) ultra-high uncertainty, in AI and all around. kevinkelly.substack.com/p/our-uncertai…

@NewsLambert @remax Wow! I'm with REMAX (35 years), and haven't heard this

Interesting The Real Brokerage to acquire Re/Max for $880 million The combined brokerage will have around 8,500 franchisees and 180,000+ agents (145k agents coming from Re/Max investors.onereal.com/news/news-deta…

Some bird photos I shot yesterday on Salishan Spit/Siletz Bay, Oregon Coast: herons, mallards (including ducklings), and a brant (coastal goose)

@CHold Agreed. We need to keep him

@marcuslemonis Washington

Pick a State you would move to if you needed to leave where you are now.

@BlazersLead Amen!

On Oct. 24, right before Portland's second game of the season, in the wake of the shocking arrest of Chauncey Billups, Dame and Jrue gave a message to their young Blazers' teammates: "Stay together. No matter what happens. Because other teams aren't going to feel sorry for us." In the 182 days since then, this team has not only stuck together, but grown together, fought together, and come together to turn a season that if it was thrown away entirely, no one would've batted an eye about Now this team gets to play a playoff game in front of its home crowd, in the Moda Center. For most of the guys on the court this will be their first time doing so. For many of the fans in the arena, it will be their first as well. Tonight is a special moment for Rip City and will be a celebration of a turnaround that no one saw coming. No one except maybe Lillard Let's play like we got nothing to lose, because we don't

@TheRealSlamMan @DrJStuff Doc was my favorite player, but the Blazers are my team, so I count it as a win. I'm 4th Gen Oregonian

@WSanman @DrJStuff Yes, G5 loss

Speaking of sharing art…

@captgouda24 What kind of ball did he ballplayer?

Deacon White has to be the most "1800s ballplayer" ballplayer who ever ballplayered

@zillowgonewild Who is the owner/seller?

for only $22,500,000 you can get 1,328 acres with an over 12k sq ft home in Hamilton, MT and live out your Yellowstone dreams. The property has “substantial Skalkaho Creek frontage”, no conservation easement restrictions, fenced and cross fenced, outdoor riding arena, large horse barn, hay barn, equipment barns, greenhouse and more.

@gorgepulse Wow! What a beautiful trifecta!

A successful botanical quest! The Criterion Ranch Trail is a few miles south of the town of Maupin. We went there to see the sagebrush violet (Viola trinervata) in bloom. It's one of the most beautiful wild violets, growing in sagebrush desert. A mountain bluebird visited us ...

Here's a great blue heron I saw cruising over Siletz Bay near the end of the Salishan Spit yesterday. The background isn't the sky, but rather the glassy bay surface, since I was standing on the elevated road. It had it's mouth open during all of the ten photos I shot of it.

@TyreeSmithTV I couldn't have said it better

@DebatesOnNBA Dr. J

Which player made you fall in love with basketball?

@AdvisorJohn Stop feeding the bird! It will be fine by itself. Bird seed is more for the people buying it, than for the birds

This guy seriously crushes all the seed I put in my bird buddy. Like literally the entire bag is in his stomach. I’ve been trying to fat shame him, but it’s not working…he keeps coming back for more.

@ChadinRipCity How about Phil Jackson?

Spoelstra? Wtf? Auerbach has to be one of them.
