Light sprinkles of rain, breeze out of the south, overcast, and 50F as of 2:00 PM PST here in Gresham.
Oregon football teams scored some rare victories yesterday, and that will get their egos primed for the big showdown Civil War Game next Saturday! Ducks vs. Beavers! This will be preceded by what should be a pretty good showdown this year between the Washington teams in the Apple Cup game next Friday! Double-A |

I might go Chinese,this Nov8 I eat turkey once a week.Chicken twice a week. They go good with MSP. Very cool nights.Very warm bright days.Also wishing all a nice Thanksgiving. Trebert I used to eat a lot of turkey because they would sell turkey parts cheap in the stores. It used to be about the cheapest meat you could buy. I don't see that anymore. Maybe it's because a processing plant here closed some years ago and caused a collapse of the Oregon turkey growing industry! Rained all through Thanksgiving here! Some local flooding! Now the rain has finally let up for the moment, but it will be back! Currently cloudy and 47F as of 11:00 AM PST here in Gresham. My Thanksgiving dinner was more of a Korean style affair with rice and anchovies rolled in sheets of seaweed! No turnkey on my table this year. Watched all the football games, and drank beer. The DOW is continuing upward towards the 20,000 level! I remember years ago that they laughed when I predicted that the DOW would break 2,000. Now it is attempting a breakout at the next magnitude up! The construction crew is building a wall of cement blocks along the property line between us and the new Dutch Brothers coffee shop. They worked on Thanksgiving, but quit about 2 PM. They must be behind schedule. I see a lot of the squirrels now in our back yard, because much of their former foraging area has been dug up. Don't know if they can survive now. Double-A |

I was bright and early outside the library today waiting for them to open the doors. They have blocked off parking in some of the streets for some special event today, I don't know what. A Santa Claus Parade?
A nice calm day here in Gresham. Streets still wet from the night's rains. Currently 49F and that's about as high as they expect it to get today. Could hit 50F if we're lucky! Heard the crew of Mexicans building the cement block wall along the property line outside my window this morning conversing in Spanish. I wonder if they expect to get work building Donald Trump's wall? Funny thing is, that wall to keep the Mexicans out could give a lot of Mexicans jobs! Came in early today so I could get back home in time to watch the big Civil War game between the Oregon Ducks and the Beavers! The Apple Cup game yesterday was a real blow out with the 5th ranked Huskies winning 45 - 17. I think the Oregon game will be better matched. Both teams are pretty bad this year! I heard California is circulating a petition to secede from the union! They just can't get over the loss by Hilary, I guess. Also I heard the idea that California might be divided into 6 states! They might even change the name! Bert, I suppose your idea of Mexifornia could actually be in play! Here in the Pacific Northwest we have long harbored the vision of country called Cascadia! It could consist of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and maybe even British Columbia! These states all have common interests and environments. Who knows what the future holds! Double-A |

A cloudy and dismal day here in Gresham with occasional light drizzle. As of 1:15 PM PST, it is 46F with a wind out of the south of 13 mph.
I can't believe they didn't put the Civil War game on any local television yesterday! It is an important event here in Oregon. But I guess we don't really have any local independent TV stations anymore. The Beavers beat the Ducks, which they only do about once every 10 years. I can see little future here for Duck's coach Mark Helfrich! Double-A |
