I’ve added that Code Switch piece to listen to this week. I love reading and thinking about food. Another food podcast I enjoy is the Sporkful. He had an incredibly interesting episode on tequila and Jose Cuervo recently!
As someone who lives rural and whose hospital system functions as the one you’ve mentioned I’m also interested in reading that piece.
Re: article on Portland homelessness. While these are Horrific stats on deaths, they are wildly misleading as it omits any information about the drug policy changes when Oregon decriminalized hard drugs starting in 2021. It completely changed the homeless population and the city has not been able to adapt. Homeless rates climbed to unsustainable rates for the city while drugs were pumped through the neighborhoods. I live near the Portland areas that are swept the most. Without the sweeps, the people that live near by are completely overrun with drug activity. It’s a nightmare for everyone.

Thank you, Sharon. I hope you and the family enjoyed a wonderful vacation.
