Win a grand by making a pithy statement
The Freeway Blogger needs your help to come up with a new placard to display along I-5 up and down the West Coast. It needs to be a "get out of your car" message -- perfect for Portlandia. And he or she is offering cash prizes for the best entries. So far, we're told, no spectacular entries have come in. The deadline is tomorrow. The details are here. (Of course, not knowing who the blogger is, we cannot give much assurance that the prize promises are on the up-and-up; enter at your own risk.)

"Get out and walk. It's not like you're going to melt in the rain."
"Remember, when there are no sidewalks, be sure to walk facing oncoming traffic."
"Save yourself some time and walk! Three miles carrying two bags of groceries is equal to twenty minutes on the treadmill." [I have no idea if that's true, but it sounds good, so it must be so.]
"Walk. It makes Sam happy."

This traffic jam sponsored by Light Rail and the UC Berkeley School of Urban Design.
If you took the train, your iPhone would be stolen already.
Remember when you voted against Light Rail? we built it anyway. :-)
Remember when $2.50 gas was Geo Bush's fault?

It's OK - Trimet managers drive, too.
Because of you 174 new Fed Limos are on the road today.

When the sign gets put up I want to use it for target practice!

"You're not stuck in traffic, you ARE traffic."
(not original to me, but I have no idea who created it.)
