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.

I spent 2 years in school there. Much has changed, but old memories still remain.

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 AA LA has another dark morning,but sky clears by 11 am. No rain,Be at the hospital at 10am Today is the day of days for me. Its M&M or Hawaii.That April Fools day operation was a big mistake. Still I;m alive and kicking. TreBert Maybe you're getting some of that smoke from northern California. There are some days I would try to avoid for doing anything important. April Fools Day is one, Friday the 13th is another, and also Halloween. Cloudy skies here in Gresham as of 11:30 AM. Temp is 57F on its way up to only 61F. Chance of rain this evening. Yesterday was the warmest day yet, reaching nearly 80F! I am reading Hermann Minkowski. He says that space and time as separate entities will fade away. Double-A |

He went on and on about how he "has a brave soul". Now what will he say? What lie will he employ THIS time? Bert, you are as low as whale ****. When Bert was just a newlywed... His Jewish grandmother was giving directions to Bert who is coming to visit with his wife. "You come to the front door of the apartments, I am in apartment 301. There is a big panel at the front door. With your elbow, push button 301. I will buzz you in. Come inside and the elevator is on the right. Get in, and with your elbow, push 3rd Floor. When you get out, I'm on the left. With your elbow, hit my doorbell. OK?" "Grandma, say Bert, "that sounds easy, but, why am I hitting all these buttons with my elbow?" "What . .. . .. .. You're coming empty handed?" I thought it was his grandfather who was Jewish. In the Jewish community that makes a big difference. Some clouds, some sun in Gresham today. Dry. Cool. Temp 59F as of 5:30 PM PDT. A preacher from the Powell Valley community just east of Gresham, who was also a cop in a nearby county, has just been charged with over 200 counts of child molestation! Just goes to show you can't trust those authority figures! Had lunch with Kim today in a Gresham Chinese buffet restaurant. All we could eat! Reading a book about Henri Poincare. He just happened to publish a Theory of Relativity 3 months before Einstein did! He was a genius at math, but being unable to draw made it hard for him in school. But he could write with both hands!
