Portland is organized into quadrants with NW, SW, SE, NE. But thanks to a bend in the river there's also just North, so we actually have five quadrants.

I got burned by this last week, i guess I put in 655 SOUTH peoria instead of NORTH peoria when booking my ride, and the driver dutifully pulled up on a residential corner (AFTER i'd talked about getting my shot) and said "Uhh, here you go, is somebody picking you up?"

Fortunately it wasn't far to 655 NORTH Peoria and he just changed the dest and got me there in time. Good fella.

Years ago I had to get a car towed in Portland and somehow the towing company managed to send a dude to the exact same address but in Los Angeles. That was a very confusing "ok I'm here, where is the car?" call

my legs would cramp up real bad after a day of hard work but they don't seem to be as bad about it anymore :toot:

like after a few hours of chainsawing ill be resting a bit and feeling fine, and then try to stand up and get horrible cramps in both legs. nowadays i get a twinge as i'm standing up, as though a cramp is about to start, but then its fine

isn't that like a potassium deficiency or something?

i wouldn't think so just on account of the cramps only ever occurring after hard work, but maybe

I don't know there have been some articles in the past couple years saying that consuming potassium won't help with cramps (although that may be partly just because of how long it would take for it to take effect) and that cramps may not really be due to electrolyte deficiencies as much as people think, but there are lots of places saying that cramps are related to potassium so maybe they are.

cramps aren't uncommon after you do work and then go sit for a while without moving, either

it's good to do some stretches before / after imo

it's really variable. cramps can absolutely happen with electrolyte imbalances if they're pretty severe (like if you eat a low-carb diet, for example, it's common to have electrolyte deficiencies) but on the whole i'd wager cramping is more often caused by over work or dehydration
