Another nice day here in Gresham. Now 71F, sunny, and calm as of 3:45 PM PDT.

Went across down to my locker again today. Brought home more clothes and some other stuff. Actually I have a lot of clothes, most of them were to nice for wearing on the streets. I have bought a clothes rack for additional closet space to hang them up.

Have been seeing a lot of tiny flies around here lately. I had just about concluded that they were just dust, stuff from some trees or pants, or else ash from the coal fired electrical plants. They are too small for me to see them clearly, but they fill the air! Then I heard this morning on the radio news that they are the latest invasion from California!

Now I suppose it's OK for Californians (like Hagar) to move up here, but do they really have to bring their flies with them?

There will soon be an initiative on the ballot here in Oregon to stop generating electricity by burning coal.

I think all your flies have moved here to Oregon!

A nice 74F here as of 4:00 PM PDT here in Gresham. East wind gusting up to 20 mph. Rain will come with the weekend.

Lunch with Kim yesterday. Across town again to to locker today. Gathered some acorns over by my storage facility. Will see what they are like after I've boiled them for an hour.

It should be about 70. I think mine got almost that low and A1C down to, I think, 4.9 before the Dr. finally admitted that I really didn't have diabetes. But Halloween is coming soon, so just wolf down more of those candy bars if you want to get that sugar level up!

Acorns are supposed to be edible after you boil them for an hours to take out the bitterness. Trouble is I fell asleep while boiling them last night. When I woke up in the middle of the night, it was to the smell of burnt acorns! But I brought some more back with me today.

Still nice weather here in Gresham, but gathering clouds are forming as the marine air moves in bringing rain. Currently 74F as of 4:00 PM PDT. East wind letting up.

Mt. St. Helens looks almost without snow, and even Mt. Hood is showing very little snow.

Thunder and lightning came early this morning, and rain. Has let up now. 59F as of 10:45 AM PDT here in Gresham.

Mad it to the farmers market and got me some more vegetables. Even the farmers now are Mexicans!

What's this I hear about torrential rains and mud slides in California? Haven't you gotten any of that in Anaheim, Bert?

Today is college football game day! Watch Portland state. Not a Pac-12 team, but they have already beat Washington Stare, which is a Pac-12 team, and who in turn have beaten the Oregon Ducks, runner up to last years national championship!

Today Portland State plays Montana, a classic rivalry. I was in the stadium back in the 70s when PSU played Montana in the most exciting game ever played by them! PSU won in the final seconds 50 to 49! Mouse Davis, the godfather of the "Run and Shoot" was coaching then. And June Jones was the quarterback. Jones now is a college coach with a multimillion dollar salary!

Thanks for the update. I will never forget that exciting game when I saw him play at PSU. But time marches on for all of us, doesn't it?

Cloudy but so far dry here in Gresham. As of 11:45 AM PDT it is 62F. Expected high today only 65F.

Boiled more acorns. This time managed not to burn them. Took me a long time to scour all the carbon out the pan from last time! With a little salt they tasted pretty good. Not much bitterness left. But cracking the soft shells, getting them out of the shells, and then boiling them for an hour, and changing the water several times is a lot of trouble.

I was slightly mistaken the Portland State game. The big rivalry game with Montana is in 2 weeks on Halloween. But PSU easily polished off Montana State yesterday 59-42!

I was an all league tackle on the Corbett Cardinal high school football team playing next to tight end Brent Somners. Brent went on to play tight end for Portland State University in the early days of their program.

Maybe you could look up Uncle Al and renew an old friendship!
