| Portland boasts lower car resale prices than most other U.S. towns. Unfortunately, the burden of over-priced used bicycles is greater only in Seattle. Will [[City Repair]]'s "[http://pdxpipeline.com/monthly-event-list/september-25-firefly-community-lantern-walk-along-portland%E2%80%99s-willamette-river-free/ community lantern walks]" become a favorite activity for [[Portlandia|Portlandians]] squeezed out of city's costly used bike culture?

| A distracted Lt. Lahcen Qouchbane accidentally squeezed his joystick moments after ''Sports Illustrated'''s "Swimsuit Issue" downloaded to his Kindle 3G. The errant squeeze unleashed the wrath of one thousand missile-drones, raining hellfire down upon the tiny village of Kyron, located in the remote Horman province. Qouchbane's joystick snafu was compounded by a CIA contractor who "illegally and hastily reverse-engineered" drone software code resulting in "inaccurate" targeting "by up to 13 metres."<br />
