Sun shining, but only 58F as of 1:30 PM PDT here in Gresham. Where has global warming gone? A 13 mph wind blowing out of the southwest. Rain expected later.
Flags are flying all the way down Main Street here in Gresham, it being Flag Day! Don't you just love small towns? It appears that far from being a dread hate crime, the gay nightclub shooter was himself gay, and a long time customer of that gay bar. Seems the only appropriate new gun legislation would be to ban the sale of assault rifles to gay dudes! Double-A |

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

Mt. Hood looms much larger were I am living now. Many things there are named after it: Mt. Hood Community College, The Hood Theater, and Hood Drive. Some things have been named after the east wind too, such as the East Wind Apartments. The east wind is the dominant wind there in the winter. In summer it is nice though, and stays a little cooler than downtown Portland. 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 years run too short and the days too fast 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 I know you're in there, you're just out of sight Time passages Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight" - Al Stewart 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. "The day is here, The time has come When I go see my darling love. But why is she not here today Where she has always been before? I wait for you, But you come not. - AA 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! Double-A Cool here in Fullerton,but heat wave on the way. just starting to do a little campaining. Letting votes know who I am.Joining all the groups.Teaching kids painting,science,and weather patents .TreBert |

It seems to be the consensus around here that next Monday the summer solstice will trip a switch which will bring sunny weather from then on out throughout the rest of the summer! I am planning my trip across town on Saturday to my uncle's funeral. He was always my favorite uncle when I was a kid, and he helped me out some when I was down and out too. Spending his career years in the field of electronics, he greatly inspired my interest in science and technology. I will miss him. Double-A |

TreBert Maybe you should teach a class in shooting pool! Sort of a hustler's finishing school! 68F and sunny as of 12:30 AM PDT here in Gresham. Expected high 78F. More good weather ahead! Yesterday I went to Hillsboro for my favorite uncle's funeral. I could hardly believe how much older and fatter some of my relatives looked since I saw them last. I'm sure I failed to recognize some of them altogether. Really sad losing my favorite uncle, even though he was 93. Double-A |
