When I want to feel like everything will be all right, I listen to "Deliver" by Scott Law. He also has an album by the same name which comforts my soul. When my mood leans more to knee slapping, I listen to Scott Law's Honkey Tonk Homeslice album that he recorded with Billy Nerschi, formerly of Stringcheese Incident. With Scott Law's eclectic worldwide touring, his incredible playing (acoustic or electric guitar, mandolin), voice and song writing, we are lucky that he also performs regularly in Portland.

Hi Governor
You may remember me. I am the retired director of SHIBA in WA. I retired to Portland and am on the board of directors of 211 INFO, which as you probably know, 211 is the "911" for health and human service information and referrals. Included in our mission are Clark and several other southwestern counties in WA. However, Washington's legislature chose not to include 211 INFO in its current budget. A fair percentage of our calls are from WA yet are not being paid for by the state receiving the service. Would you please check this out and correct the problem? Thanks and good luck in the fall. If I could, I'd vote for you again in a heartbeat. joan
