Operation Geese Escort
On April 25th shortly after 10:00 a.m. a Beaverton Traffic Officer was travelling on SW Hall BLVD towards Washington SQ when he spotted a family of geese walking in a lane of travel. All of our traffic cars are equipped with in car audio and video recording equipment. The officer was able to capture the action of this important escort and included some classic rock for our listening pleasure.
We hope you enjoy this video as much as many of us have. With the warmer weather starting the odds of our feathered friends being on our roadways has increased. Please keep an eye out for anything or anyone in your lane of travel and take the safest action for your safety and the safety of what might be in front of you.
The Geese did make it safely out of the roadway and we hope they have found a safer place for a morning walk.

Good morning, beautiful ☀🍃 #pdx
i love this city
So, Luna caught a mouse, and I don’t know if it should go in the compost or the garbage.
If I am reading this map right, it looks like viewing conditions might be good from Mount Hood. We just might make the drive for this. ETA: Never mind. It will be snowing on Mount Hood, and raining everywhere else. Le Sigh.Possible Aurora Borealis Visible In Maryland On April 13th
A solar flare that occurred around 2 a.m. Thursday morning may create a spectacular display of northern lights Saturday evening. The midlevel flare had a long duration and was directed at Earth. According to AccuWeather.com Astronomer Hunter Outten, who stated that this flare was “impressive”, these are the best conditions for seeing a direct effect on our planet. On the Kp index, the flare has been categorized at 6 to 8. This is a scale for measuring the intensity of a a geomagnetic storm. The 6 to 8 rating means that the effects of the radiation will have a greater reach.
The radiation from such a flare may cause radio wave disturbances to electronics such as cell phones, GPS and radios, causing services to occasionally cut in and out. While traveling slower than was originally anticipated, the flare effects are moving towards Earth at 1000 km per second.
The flare is also expected to cause vibrant northern lights from the Arctic as far south as New York, the Dakotas, Washington and Michigan, with a smaller possibility of it going into Pennsylvania and Iowa, even Kansas. The lights are currently estimated for 8 p.m. EDT Saturday arrival, with a possible deviation of up to seven hours. If the radiation hits much after dark settles on the East Coast the lights may be missed and will instead only be visible for the West.
Solar flares create auroras when radiation from the sun reaches Earth and interacts with charged protons in our atmosphere. The effects are greater at the magnetic poles and weaken as they move south from the Arctic or north of the Antarctic. In the northern hemisphere the results are called the aurora borealis, with the aurora australis being its southern counterpart. The result is a spectacular display of light and color for areas with clear enough views.
Viewing conditions will be best in the mid-Atlantic, specifically for parts of Pennsylvania and the Delmarva. Most of the country will have poor to fair views as a result of cloud cover, with areas further south not experiencing the aurora at all. A pocket of fair conditions sits over southeastern Oregon and the southwest corner of Idaho. A swath of partly cloudy conditions will also spread over a section of the Ohio Valley for parts of Michigan, Indiana and Illinois. Ohio will experience fair to good viewing conditions. For the rest of the country conditions will be poor.
hold up son, what
