More cool weather, but they say it will soon end. Only 66F as of 11:45 AM here in Gresham. Partly cloudy. Expected high 74F.

Walked over to Mt. Hood Community College yesterday evening. It's not far. They were playing baseball, and having youth swimming championship races in their outdoor pool.

In their lake, there were some weird black ducks that seemed to dive to the bottom and never come up!



Sounds like a loon.



A species not uncommon even in these news groups!

But they fit the the description on a bird that can swim with its body underwater.

Summer has returned to Gresham! Sunny and currently 74F as of 12:45 PM PDT here. Expected high 86F. Then temps expected to be in the 90's over the next week.
