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

Now 64F as of 12:15 PM PDT here in Gresham. Rain seems to have let up after a damp morning. Still cloudy.

In yesterdays football, former Oregon Beaver's coach Mike Riley found that revenge is sweet as he coached the Nebraska Cornhuskers to a 35 to 32 victory over the Oregon Ducks. The Oregon State Beavers did a lot better, beating the Idaho State Bengals 37 to 7. The Portland State Vikings were way out classed, losing to the No. 8 Washington Huskies 41 to 3.

Yesterday my old high school senior class president, Mike, called me while I was still at the library and invited me out to lunch. He took be over to Dea's In & Out, a burger place, but an iconic one with a long history in Gresham. He asked me a lot of questions about my life, and my dad's service in WWII. I will probably be working with him on our up coming class reunion. It was good to see an old friend again.

Stock market has been on a roller coaster this week! I have some skin in the game now having invested small amounts in a number of stocks. I fear declines next month, but as long as interest rates stay near zero, I foresee continuing long term gains for the market.

Rain has let up here, but still cool. Currently only 64F and mostly cloudy as of 2:15 PM PDT here in Gresham.

I remember getting splashed on when I was at the Sea World near San Francisco, and the big orca whale splashed down after making a jump! I suppose nice on a hot day, but I still didn't enjoy getting wet. I think they have phased them out now.

Fight the good fight! Here in Gresham the city just raised by more than 100% the tax they place on my electric bill! Funny, my Social Security income has shown no increase at all the last couple years!

Here in Gresham a cool 63F as of 12:45 PM PDT. Sunny and dry today. Light northwesterly breeze. Was some rain during the night.

I think I might have a mountain beaver eating bread crumbs I throw out on the patio. It looks too small for a possum, too big for a rat. They make big holes in the ground and tunnels. Sort of a giant gopher. We had a lot of them around my dads place, but they are rarely seen.

A little sun through clouds and 65F as of 3:45 PM PDT here in Gresham.

Went downtown Portland to the TriMet office earlier and picked up a handful of up to date bus and train schedules. This is the time of year they get changed. They have made cascading waterfalls flowing down on both sides of the entrance! I question the wisdom of spending money on such things. But Kim uses the pools of water to wash her feet!

On the way back, I stopped at the Lloyd Center and found the Barnes & Noble Bookstore there. The Lloyd Center was light and airy when it was build in 1960, even though it was then the biggest shopping center in the world. But every remodeling has made it bigger and more oppressive feeling! Now they are working on it again, and the skating rink is torn up. I once knew it like the back of my hand. Now it is hard to keep from getting lost in there.

I don't know what got into me to think I could afford a book from Barnes and Noble, even with a couple bucks left on a gift card. I read many of their books when I was homeless, but I haven't been able to afford any of their books in years.

Fortunately I spied a Dollar Tree store across the street and found I few items I could afford there. Then back hone on the MAX Train.

Had a nice lunch yesterday with Kim. She keeps pushing me to write a book.

Well the chill is in the air, even now on only the second day off fall. Only 59F now as of 2:30 PM PDT here in Gresham. Sky dark. Rain pending. They have all the streets blocked off to parking as they get ready for their annual "Teddy Bear Parade" tomorrow! Well, I guess whatever floats their boats around here.

A crispy 55F at a bright and early 10:00 AM PDT here in Gresham. Morning clouds, but supposed to be sunny later. A perfect though chilly fall day.

A parade is going by outside, the Teddy Bear Parade! Everybody loves a parade! It was just starting as I arrived at the library. Saw the Gresham city mayor go by and the city councilors. Everybody on the streets are toting teddy bears! Most streets are blocked off, but at least it hasn't displaced the Farmers Market. Here at the library, there are plenty of computers not being used!

It's a good thing I went to the Lloyd Center on Thursday, because yesterday a Black Lives Matter demonstration surged through that maul! Now days you never know!

This morning, 5 dead in a maul in Bremerton, Washington! A man went on a shooting spree, as last I heard, he is still at large!
