I had Friday off, so it’s only just and fair that I work today, but surely there are some Range readers out there cruelly oppressed by “The Man” who are forced to sit a computer all day and “be productive” and such.

As a native Tucsonan who escaped to crazy, wonderful Portland where bumper stickers say, “Keep Portland Weird” and t-shirts say, “People’s Republic of Portland,” I thank you for plugging Portlandia!
Put a bird on it!
