But the Library has been good, Google hangouts can be crazy but productive. McMinimums restaurants gave us a meeting room yesterday for 4 hours for free !
But for a rookie team we have a tough road ahead.... as they canceled school again today.

We have the same issue in Beaverton. Part of the problem is that state and cities have to rely on a real city (Seattle) for the heavy equipment. Another problem is our refusal to use salt. Perhaps the new mayor of Portland will take his salt experiment to the whole state (when he inevitably runs for Governor).

I feel the pain even worse as a college student, as I attend Portland State University in downtown Portland, which has cancelled class yet again. We've only had three days of school this term. I hate to sound cliche, but what am I paying for?
