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.

wrecked by years of abuse and neglect ... they stayed the same ... you
lost a lot of weight ...


***This from man who cannot dumpster dive because there is no way he can get
his fat, cracker ass into a dumpster. Or, if he managed to get in, he'd
never get out. So he exists on road kill, gubmint cheese and, on special
holidays, a gas station beef jerky.

You're such a wit ... I bet your father/uncle celebrates by
crying over his beat-off sock, bemoaning the one he missed ...
namely you, you mental hillbilly midget.

Oh if only that were true!

Another perfect day here in Gresham. Sunny with scattered puffy clouds. Currently 70F as of 11:45 AM PDT. Might get up to 80F by the end of the afternoon.

Returned a load of my own beer cans to the redemption center, and then walked across Gresham to the library, getting plenty of exercise.

Can you believe that the movie house here in Gresham that I went to when I was a kid is still here and still showing movies? The old Hood Theater (now called the Mt. Hood Theater)! But watching movies in a theater has gotten expensive!

Been fairly cool here in Gresham. Now only 68F as of 1:15 PM PDT. Expecting only 75F for the day's high. Scattered clouds. Sunny. Calm. Rain may come Thursday and Friday.

You should invite Hagar to come up and share your van. It's going to be 107
F next week in Elk Grove and I don't believe he can take it. Besides, after
a burrito or two, Hags would definitely be another 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 about 82 Posts are not going though in Sci.Physics ??? TreBert

Seems the posts I made yesterday weren't taking!

Only 63F today here in Gresham. Expected high only 66F. Sunny with scattered clouds today. Yesterday it rained.

Had lunch with Kim on Wednesday. Talked about the relatives I saw at the funeral. Kim is also still dreaming of our opening a restaurant. Her restaurant in Hawaii was called Shirley's Castle.
