The only beach close to here is Rooster Rock Park down on the Columbia River. Haven't been there in years. They have a nude beach there too, but I've heard it's mostly for gays.

Only 61F here in Gresham and raining as of 2:45 PM. It wasn't raining when I left home, but it started before the bus came. 90F weather expected by the end of the week!

I finally caught the mouse! But in a kind of mysterious way. I found the mouse lying dead on the pantry shelf, but not in the trap. The trap had sprung, but the mouse must have gotten out of it before he died. The cheese was lying nearby uneaten.

Bert, Twitty is calling for you in Twitter!

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.

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!

AA that mouse went down fighting. He has fast reflex time.His luck ran out. I can't get into twitter??? I need help Getting a little warmer.Still adding new ideas to my boat. It is truely a one of a kind and thinking of marking it.Its fun to build . Bert

Bert, you have way too much energy!

It is now 64F here in Gresham as of 12:15 PM. Should be 73F later. Starting now on a warming trend that should take temps ups over 90F by Sat. thru Mon.

Another good Chinese buffet with Kim yesterday. Didn't make it here to the library. Had problems with cell phone, but now it's working OK again.

Portland Rose Festival is well underway with the Grand Floral Parade on Saturday. It won't be raining on that parade for a change!

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

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!

AA that mouse went down fighting. He has fast reflex time.His luck ran out. I can't get into twitter??? I need help Getting a little warmer..Still adding new ideas to my boat. It is truely a one of a kind and thinking of marking it.Its fun to build . Bert


Bert, you have way too much energy!

It is now 64F here in Gresham as of 12:15 PM. Should be 73F later. Starting now on a warming trend that should take temps ups over 90F by Sat. thru Mon.

Another good Chinese buffet with Kim yesterday. Didn't make it here to the library. Had problems with cell phone, but now it's working OK again.

Portland Rose Festival is well underway with the Grand Floral Parade on Saturday. It won't be raining on that parade for a change!

Double-A

AA How can you count my money all the way up in Portland? I live well.Eat MSP Do stuff legally.Make people laugh.Never lie.Try my best to be clever,Nice,Caring,and honest. Will never fully retire,and always thinking how I can make "BIG MONEY" That you can count on Bert



If you would want to send me your money in money bag, I would be happy to count it for you!

Double-A


AA What is a money bag? All my big cash money is in $100s so how big is this money bag? Bush used two C5 planes to carry away 22 billion,and that must have been in 100s Here is a kicker got a million dollar bill last week.Never had such a bill.It looks legal.AA check out W.Haines his picture is on this bill. Cloudy cool,and no beach day again. Bert



Banks used to give out money bags and pouches to their good business customers. Just fill them up and bring them back in! The government allows no bills larger than $500's to circulate anymore.

Had to go downtown to the clinic for some pills. Then went over to my old stomping grounds on the west side and bought a carrying bag for my new laptop. Got back here to the Gresham Library, but not with much time, since they close today at 6 PM.

Right now at 5:00 pm it is 84F here in Gresham with clear blue skies. Expecting even hotter tomorrow.

Animal control told Kim not to feed the birds! What an overreaching, micromanaging local government!
