Then you guys can start a business doing that,

ahahahaha....


Dick's sells only rifles for what I could tell. But I noticed the huge Gresham Fred Meyer store has a gun section also. They have hand guns as well as rifles. Now that I have an apartment, I will need something to defend the gold I well be storing there! Out here in the west, it's always good to be prepared for anything.

yearning "for Glazier to be remembered as a kind man":

A nice day here in Gresham town. Sunny and calm. Temp 61F as of 1:30 PM. May get up to 71F before the day is over!

Lunch with Kim yesterday in a Mexican restaurant. Those Mexican pizzas aren't bad. And I could wash it down with Budweiser!

Tell Glazier that you are the Dosecki man who is

Glazier himself will drive the van to you, right NOW!.
Glazier is obsessed with getting fame by association.
Take advantage of that. "Stay thirsty, my friend"

BTW,
Did you catch the start of Glazier's back-stroke
and disengagement from his trip to Hawaii
which he is loud mouthing and lying about for
months now?
Glazier's "last act" will be a LIE, not a trip!


This Mexican restaurant caters to Americans. The food is not red hot, and my favorite American beer, Budweiser, is available. On my birthday though I had a double margarita there. It was so strong it made Kim wonder if I was OK to leave! I said, "Hey, I'm not driving!"

Another beautiful day here. Sunny, calm, and 62F as of 12 noon, headed for 67F later.

Kim used to live in Hawaii. I think that's where she used to own a restaurant. My wife was there a short time. But I have never been to Hawaii.

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.

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.

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!

Yes, summer in the city!

Nice here too, sunshine through puffy clouds. 56F as of 1:00 PM and a slight breeze from SW. Will be 60F later.

Last night as I was walking back to my apartment, a guy came from the parking lot calling me by name. I thought it must be one of the guys who work for landlord, because who else would know my name in this neighborhood? But then he introduced himself as Dale, the younger brother of my old good friend from high school, Dennis. So I gave him my number. Dennis called me today just as I got to the library. Amazingly, Dale likes to drink beer at the tavern right next to my apartments, and recognized me waking by! Hope to get together with Dennis next Monday and have a few brews for old times sake. I just can't keep anonymous back here in the old neighborhood.

A sunny Sunday morning here in Gresham. 58F as of 11:30 AM, headed for 66F.. Calm and dry.

There are no parking meters here in Gresham. Also the have many free municipal parking lots. This in contrast to Portland where all parking lots are paid, and they are all run by a couple of evil parking monopoly companies sanctioned by the city. Out here in Gresham the air is free, and so is the parking. And the water tastes better!

Sunny skies again here in paradise. Calm and 65F as of 4:00 PM here in Gresham.

Met with my old friend Dennis today in the local put. It was his brother I ran into on the street the other day. He bought me lunch. Talked about old times and compared notes. He and his brother could solve my transportation needs for the stuff I have in storage, and furniture I need to move in. He offered me some furniture too. He was curious about what I knew about my aged apartment landlord, and speculated about whether he might be ready to sell. He knows some guy who might be interested in buying it and might even cut me in on a share of owning it! It's big talk, but when you're on a roll, you're on a roll!

Double-A

A rainy day with talk of hail and lightning. Currently 48F in Gresham as of 3:15 PM. Won't get much warmer today. New snow on Mt. Hood for spring skiing.

Yesterday my friend Dennis passed along my phone number to fellow classmate Janet, who was trying very hard to get a hold of me for the last class reunion. My past reunion encounters with her were sweet ones.
