Another day with clouds, but some Sun getting through. Rain last night. Now dry and 56F as of 1:15 PM here in beautiful Gresham.

I think I identified the clothing store not far from here that my mom worked in a short while. It's now a furniture store. Still a lot of people trying to eek out a living running small stores and shops here in Gresham.

The explosion incident on the Mt. Hood Highway turned out to be the accidental detonation of some exploding targets. Target shooters know when they hit them from afar when the explode! You can make your own using ammonium nitrate and powdered aluminum. One person was killed, and it left a crater, still it seems something the local police could have handled without calling in the Feds. And I don't see way the highway had to be completely closed for so long. The country is so on edge that it seems every time a tire blows Homeland Security has to be notified!

Double-A
