Aren't you glad that dumpsters are made of steel ... at least
there will be some delicious, re-heated snacks for you ...

A pad? I thought those blocks it is up on were resting on a slippery slope!

Overcast and an ideal 72F here in Gresham as of 1:00 PM. Wind westerly at 3 mph. Higher humidity of 61% is beneficial in fighting the fires to the east of here. My home town of Corbett has been evacuated, and the schools have been closed indefinitely. The schools are currently being used as a place for firefighters to live and a base of operations. At least there is no longer so much smoke in the air here, as cooler air moves in from the west. Don't know if they are still going to hold the multi-class reunion they had scheduled for tomorrow. The restaurant is not in the evacuated area, but in an area that is on alert. We will see.

A pleasant 70F here in Gresham under partly cloudy skies. Wind out of the west at 6 mph. Humidity 51%.

Attended the multi-class reunion yesterday for classes from 57 through 67. That makes our class the babies of the group. My gosh! So much white hair! My old friend Jim from years gone by was there, and we spent a long time catching up. A man named Leroy, whose wife the State Legislator died only a few months ago, made a point to say hi to me. I never would have recognized him. The older sister of my childhood friend Billy who fell of a cliff to his death when he was only a boy, was there and said hi. A woman named Sandy greeted me. She was a sister of that Stare Legislator, and a member of a pioneer family in the area, and had worked with my mother at the Vista House gift shop when she was young. Then a woman named Pam asked me if I still played the trombone? Of course I don't. But I was glad to see her. I had wondered what had happened to her and what she would look like today. Truth is, she looked completely different. But I felt some good vibes between us. She said she is still living on the old family farm. Keith, one of the organizers of the event, introduced me to two women who he said were his brother Larry's daughters. Larry lived next door to me in the late 50s, and we were best friends. But he died fairly young of MS. I think I would not have been able to recognize anybody if they had not introduced themselves. So why is it so many could recognize me? Could it be that all that whiskey I have drunk has truly preserved me?

I just checked up on that older sister of my boyhood friend who fell off the cliff, because I had thought she was dead. Her name is Margaret. Find a Grave lists her as having died in 1985, and lists her along with other members of that family. I wonder, do ghosts sometimes attend these reunions?

I am going to check with our class president, Mike, since he is her cousin and so should know what is going on.

A nice day here in Gresham. Currently 78F as of 1:00 PM. Sunny and the smoke is so far keeping its distance. Wind NW at 7 mph. Humidity 40%. They reopened the Corbett schools today.

I walked over to Mt. Hood Community College last night. It is currently being used as a shelter for those evacuated from the fire danger areas. I visited the memorial and shrine for the college's first president, Dr. Earl L.. Klapstein 1922-1997. There is a bronze plaque with his likeness on a large boulder that was placed there the year of his death. It shows him complete with the mutton chop sideburns of which he was so proud. Legend has it that he chased all the wolves and bears off the land, and then laid the foundation stone for the large college complex that is there today. I will never forget the night when a friend and I sat in his office drinking our beers with our feet up on his desk! Someone had left the door unlocked. Oh my! He even had a shower behind his office. One can only imagine how handy that might have been!
