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

Today I am back over in the Cedar Mills Library, since I don't have my Multnomah County library card yet. After lunch with Kim downtown, I came up here. It is currently 51F here with a slight sprinkling of rain starting. Should be dry again in a couple day.

A few days ago I walked over to the Mt. Hood Community College campus. I spent 2 years in school there. Much has changed, but old memories still remain.

The things you lean on are the things that don't last
Well it's just now and then my line gets cast into these
Time passages
There's something back here that you left behind
Oh time passages
Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight

A girl comes towards you
You once used to know
You reach out your hand
But you're all alone, in these
Time passages

At first I felt a little lost, but then I came upon a spot I clearly remembered. It was where I had gone out there and watched a speech by then President Jimmy Carter in the late 70's. He was the first President I had seen in person! A helicopter brought him in, and Iranian students hiding their faces were demonstrating against the Shaw of Iran.

I finally found the lake that they made by damming up the local creek. I once drove a car across that dam! But if I were to try it now, I would run into a fence. I now must give up any hope of wetting a line in that trout stocked pond, as fishing is now limited to those under 17. Well, that's how I always thought it should be.

I found the basketball court with the dome shaped roof. It is a paraboloid shaped roof which gives an interesting echoic effect at its center. They have wisely covered much of the ceiling with acoustic tile.

There used to be tables and chairs on the east side where students could sit. But now it's all basketball floor. That's were I used to sit and talk with Greta and Susan in those pleasant times.

I went to the corner of Kane Dr. and Stark St. to look for the stone mile post marker for mile 14 from Portland. It was there back in 1969 when I checked. This were set down every mile along Stark about 150 years ago. Stark led to the Stark St. Ferry, which was the only way to cross the Willamette River back then, before they built the bridges in Portland. The Community College has put up a sign at that corner and surrounded it with rocks and other landscaping. But no sign of the historic mile stone. You would think that the administrators of a college of all people would have some respect for history!

AA Why did you not spell "entropy' right. You know me long enough to know my spelling and grammar stink. O ya I posted a new post on "TIME" and Treb promised he would do it from start to finish.I hope so.Bert

You mean "enthalpy"? It's another term I remembered from Thermodynamics.

Sunny right now under parly cloudy skies as of 2:15 PM here in Gresham. Currently 76F, and that's about as high as it's expected to get.

AA Its only 83 and feels cooler. Treb had a post on Time but the hate mongers jumped in and he rold me its not worth his time to post.Sad but reality. Seems no one is left.I'm hoping to get into twitter.Some group that is meaningful. TreBert

Certainly global cooling is already setting in here. Still early September, and the temperature can't make it over 67F! That's what it is as of 4:30 PM here in Gresham. Not much chance it will get any higher.

Went across town today to my locker.

Last night my neighbor Jeff knocked on my door. He got me a free sofa from the lady across the breezeway from me. It looks to be in pretty could condition. Now if somebody comes over, they will have a place to sit!

He also brought me a converter box, which I will need for my old TV. I gave him 5 bucks for that.

Double-A

Mostly cloudy and 61F here in Gresham as of 12:30 PM. Expected high only 66.

Ran into Dana again at Safeway last night. She says she has lots of stuff in a storage locker if I need anything. Problem is my furniture needs have already mostly been satisfied.

The Oregon State Beavers struggled to beat Weber State, a Big Sky team, last night. Next week we will see what they, and their new Coach Amderson, can do against a Big Ten team, Michigan! I'm not holding my breath.

Tonight the Oregon Ducks have their openner against Eastern Washington. Perhaps I can watch it at the Big Apple Bar.

Double-A

Only 58F as of 2:15 PM here in Gresham. Expected high only 62F. The ice age cometh!

Watched the Ducks coast to victory against Eastern Washington last night in the friendly Big Apple Bar. The owner's wife came around and brought us hors devours.
