It's steam powered and very unreliable.

Who's Prudence, and why are you so influenced by her?
Yes, but to be fair, only one person at a time can use it. You should see the queues! :laughing:

It's very unlikely. I would purposely (and foolishly) seek out terrorist attacks when I lived in Jerusalem and am alive to tell the tale. I'd hear about an attack, at the Al-Aqsa Mosque say, and go rushing to the scene against a tide of people fleeing the area. Did that one time and found myself caught between a group of Israeli Defence Force soldiers firing live rounds and a Palestinian group of stone throwers. Had to crawl to safety under a barrage of stones and bullets. Stupid thing to do in hindsight, but thrilling, and an unusual experience.

If someone wants to go to Europe or the Middle East or the scene of a terrorist attack then they should. Life is for living.

I haven't seen following this thread (or much of anything else) so forgive me if I'm completely off the topic, but assuming this is still in the works I have within the past couple weeks moved back to PDX (or environs therein) and would love nothing more than hooking up with any or all those within a MAX ride of this proposed hootenanny.

I'm flying to Europe out of San Fran. Honestly, we'll see if I take the ride up to Portland still. We'd have to rent a car and I don't know how much money I'll have saved up. If I do end up doing that, I'll let you know.

Portland does have high plane fares (so I've heard, idk personally) but some frequent flyers I know say flights out of SeaTac are more reasonable fwiw

It'd be fun to hang, jus' sayin...

So you're trying to hook up with young men on the internet?

Oh stahp.

No, the Interstate.

Aren't the cops watching you?
