Let's just cut to the chase: I am a cranky commuter.
I fidget waiting for lights to change, I get frustrated poking along on the freeway, I get impatient behind slow drivers but also don't like being tailgated by faster drivers...so I know the problem is with me!

I traveled it dozens of times a week when I lived in St. Paul and at teh University of Minne...

When we added a Raptor Cam to kgw.com's web site, I thought people would enjoy it but we had no idea how popular it would become.

I will never forget where I was when I learned of the attacks on the World Trade Center.

I was in the most remote part of Oregon, in the Steens Mountain Wilderness, riding in the week-long 'Cycle Oregon' bike tour with 1,500 other cyclists.
