I just realized something: there are no Giant grocery stores outside of DC, Virginia and Maryland. I was reading Chocolate Cola and contemplating the name. My grandparents used to have chocolate soda when I was little and it rocked and Giant was the only store that carried it. Does anyone know where to find it in Portland?

School is finally winding down so now I can focus on getting Portland Parks and Rec to let the sailing school run at Willamette Park while our sailing club is floated across the river and lashed to a piling behind Ross Island and the giant mudflat created by silt collected by the backeddy from the powerboat dock they built at Willamette Park is being dredged. I hope they don't make this a big hassle.

Alright, back to work, here are a couple of shots from J/24 racing last week on the Columbia.
