Return of the Scone

An alert reader points out that the inevitable coronation of Sam the Tram as Portland's next mayor is sure to bring at least one familiar face back onto the scene -- and we don't mean that in a good way.

Dude, it took me quite a while to figure out who you were talking about. Then, finally, I saw the helpful arrow.

That's a nice little Halloween scare you gave me when I realized you were talking about Jim Francesconi!

I think that one Dude is Big Daddy Ed Whalen

I think it's more likely to be Roy Jay.

Is Warner Pacific College still a client?

So strange how everybody in this picture is looking in different directions and nobody seems to be really interacting with anybody else. It's like political theatre turned feeding time at the zoo, like they're waiting for somebody to start throwing in food to scamper after. If you could take a picture of restless opportunism, this would be it.

"Is Warner Pacific still a client?"

I don't know, but Kiewit Construction still is (Big Pipe & Tram contractor).
