Default Land of Mt. Hood and the Source of the East Wind

Another nice day in Gresham. 65F with sun through high clouds. But rain is expected by tomorrow.

Went on the long ride via public transportation yesterday to pick up my final mail from my cousin. On the return trip the train was extremely slow because of construction work being done along the tracks.

Being back in Gresham near the old fairgrounds, I remember how I always won the grand prize ribbon in the 4-H electrical contests. Glen Otto was an electrical engineer who had sons competing against me. He was also the mayor of Troutdale, and went on to become a state senator, but he could never get his sons to beat me in the electrical projects contests!
