Radio guy Bob Miller suggests that the new OHSU Medical Group aerial tram
[rim shot] be called "PHART" -- short for Pill Hill Aerial Rapid Transit.
I must admit, it's got quite a ring to it. And b!X has picked it up, which
is a good sign. He can smell a smash hit acronym at quite a distance....Can't

This presentation further develops my ongoing argument that the “big
debates” about the nature of our world continue to reflect the contest
between the Enlightenment and Romanticism.1 Of course these two modes
of thought overlap in their influence on all of our lives. The most
“rational” of us is likely to have some affection for
“nature” and an appreciation of one or more of the arts. So we
are talking about positions on a spectrum rather than a clash between polar
opposites..This presentation examines “Smart Growth”, and
“Visioning” as a means of managing our urban and rural environments,
within the context of this ongoing
debate.New
