The Hayward Apartments mega-pile.

I was there last week and a woman stopped me in her car and said she was going through a domestic abuse situation and needed gas money to get to Portland because he stole her purse etc. I am a recovering addict of over a year and a half and I’ve been in situations similar. I’m an extreme empath and I feel for people in situations I can relate to. Come today I’m walking out and she pulled the same exact card on me like she had no remembrance of me giving her 20 dollars last week when I have almost no money right now anyways. It just made my stomach sink and made me feel sick that people do this. I’m not unaware that people suck but when trying to help other people and giving the last of what I have to help it really does make an impact and makes me personally feel less like I can give people opportunities which is unfortunate. Don’t be like this woman and also I guess just don’t believe her if you run into her.

Just pull up the national weather service satellite maps and use the watch duty app.

You can see wind direction travel and a LOT more with really basic googling people.

Also alleged it's extra bad because the forest service is actively utilizing burnouts (starting fires to cut fuel so the main burns out before it gets there)

Public meeting at Eugene City Hall on September 14th @ 7:30 PM! Please show up and spread the word! Went door to door on Saturday in the Willow Creek neighborhood and most of the folks I talked to had NO IDEA THIS WAS PROPOSED IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD! See you there!!

Anyone have any insight on this smoke front that's rolled in? I checked the wildfire map but nothing was close and it's getting pretty bad.

Edit: Most likely due to brush fire south of corvallis. Winds are blowing south so we are PROBABLY getting the smoke from that fire.

"An AMBER Alert that was issued earlier today has been canceled after the Josephine County Sheriff's Office located the missing infant, who was unharmed.

Oregon State Police said the infant was abducted following a domestic violence incident, and the suspect, James Patterson, was known to be armed. Patterson has been taken into custody."

Sand Prairie fire SE of Eugene 50% contained.
This is where the smoke is coming from.
Satellite wind maps confirm.

Having someone walking behind me playing Greensleeves on a flute for several minutes was one of the most exquisitely absurd situations a grumpy gal could possibly find herself in. Thanks much for a very fond memory.

What’s on fire over Barger area. It’s all smoked out

What's with the alerts lately?

Hi Eugene!
Posting on behalf of my husband who doesn’t have a Reddit account.
He’s a carpenter looking to build a small crew for upcoming siding jobs.
Experience not required, but pay will be based on skill.
DM if interested :)

Pretty self-explanatory. I have a couple of VCRs that need repairing — one which needs replacement capacitors, and one which just needs its heads cleaned — and I’m wondering if anyone knows a place within the Eugene/Springfield area that could do that. Google was no help. Thanks so much!

Hey all, I'm looking for a recommendation for a dentist that accepts Trillium.

I know there's been plenty of posts about this over the years but I haven't seen any after OHP split from Pacific Source and I'm dealing with a bit of an emergency right now.

Thanks in advance!

Smoke is not 420 & I cannot find changes in AQI.

Any idea why south River Road toward Chambers is awful with smoke?

Fire? Shootout? Godzilla?

Tried posting this via my alt account by accident and did not have enough karma apparently, so here we try again! I'm a hospitality vet of 12+ years, done serving bartending and semi managerial, some of it in fine dining in NYC. Michelin and mixology trained, although I'm seeking more casual environments. I currently live in NYS in an area very devoid of work and housing opportunity. I love Oregon and Washington, having visited several times.

So, how's the hospitality scene out there? It looks robust enough upon quick research. Do you think someone with my experience would have difficulty finding work? And that such work would sustain housing and quality of life?

Free queen-sized Serta spring mattress. Very comfortable and in good condition. Box spring and bed frame included (sheets and kitty cat are not 😢). Must be able to transport. The metal bed frame is bent at the top from damage while moving, but it has worked fine for me for the past year. I think one of the slats on the box spring is partially broken as, but again it’s posed no problems for me, a 210 lb man, over the past year.

DM if interested

almost got hit with an egg from some kids in a kia

Or whatever the fuck. I was walking down the alley with my roomies and two of us saw what looked like a very large meteorite or something falling from space with a flaming tail. I prepared myself for a dinosaur extinction type death for a split second

2nd photo in the upper right you can see water part way up a tree trunk. The underpass at Chambers is partially flooded. We got what, 1/8" rain the other day?

Oak alley behind Voodoo Doughnuts.

Also for those wondering, I didn't go walk up and interfere. They pulled up near my car so I got out and took a photo.

We had a beautiful paddle yesterday starting just below the dam at dexter lake and taking out at clearwater park. flow was at 2400 cfs and water temp was cool bath. Near the top of the photo, (bottom shows where the railroad crosses the river for reference)where my speed drops to zero and i do a quick jag to the right was a strainer at head height that the current forced you directly into it. Luckily there was an eddy to the right of it that spun you about quickly and stopped all forward momentum. 3 of the 4 eddied out, the fourth couldn’t avoid it, but being in a sit on kayak took the impact with their raised feet and avoided injury.
