So help me, our new 'hood is smack-dab out of a horror film. Had no idea that fall/early winter included raging wind, pea soup fog, screaming rain and... I am not kidding... the carnivorous tree against the window just like in Poltergeist. If ever a vampire/yetti/abominable snowman/ghost from The Fog or creepy-ass clown were to jump in front of my car, now would be the time.

Speaking of fall in Portland, here are some shots of my colleague Craig and his baby Russ-Dog.
