Hang in there, Bert. My health has improved, since I stopped doing all the things they told me to do at the clinic.

Another nice spring day here in Gresham. Sunny and 60F as of 11:30 AM. On the way to high seventies later.

Yesterday I explored the old cemetery down by Stark St. that remember seeing as a boy from the car as we drove by. The same old gravel road still goes in, abutted by a fence separating it from the newly developed paved streets and houses, and apartments. A sign says "Mt. View Stark, Oregon Historic Cemetery, Est. 1886." I did however find one gravestone marked 1880. There is one older house right next to the cemetery, but I don't think it was there when I was a boy, because I remember the view as unobstructed. Found many burials from the late 18 hundreds and early 19 hundreds. It is a small cemetery. But what I was surprised to see was that there have also been recent burials, quite a few since 2000. A young Russian man was buried as recently as 2013.

I didn't see anybody I had known. There was one very fresh grave not yet marked with a permanent stone. It was probably this girl:

One woman's marker said, "It was a hell of a ride, now I wait for you."

Not sure why people still want to be buried in such an obscure pioneer cemetery.

In evidence with this state's now fanatical obsession to prohibit smoking, a sign at the cemetery read, "This is a no smoking zone." As if anyone in that cemetery would really mind!
