Today is EOU Commencement. So I took a little two-block walk, under intermittent light rain, to check it out. A range of facial and other expressions were noted, plus dronage.
The commencement speaker was our own Gov. Kate Brown. Whether you love or hate or don’t care about her politics and policies, I have to say that she is one uninspiring, extraordinarily ordinary public speaker (judge for yourself at
