PDX Potter Tours State to...Fight Osteoporosis?

Blogging via dialup from Virginia means you gotta take your quick hits where you can. To wit, the press release from Portland Mayor Tom Potter's office today.

Sounds sensible, like a worthwhile project--right?

But oh, the tangled web we weave when first we fail to spellcheck our emails. Here's what we got from the Mayor announcing the trip:

MAYOR POTTER EMBARKS ON 2ND STATE TOUR TO BUILD STRONGER PARTNERS HIPS IN OREGON
