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

Cloudy and 65F as of 1:15 PM PDT here in Gresham. Expected high only 72F. Yesterday on the 4th it never got above 67F.

The sky filled with illegal fireworks and loud explosions last night here in freedom loving Gresham. Today everybody is counting their fingers!

I enjoyed watching a tape of the Reagan funeral I recorded 12 years ago. It ran for 6 hours.

Counting fingers was easy for Hagar since he was already down 3 from last
year.

Hagar only really regrets losing that digit between his legs when his so called friend dropped an M-80 down his trousers!

Some sun through clouds and 68F as of 12:15 PM PDT here in Gresham. Rain forecast for the afternoon and through the weekend. Not a common forecast for July in Oregon. Not at all supportive of the idea of global warming.

Had a nice lunch with Kim yesterday.

No big (pun intended) deal. At Hagar's age, it was merely ornamental.

How did you get more out of SS? They haven't increased mine in years! They charge me for B but not A. I know that if you get big bucks rolling in from elsewhere, they charge you more. I don't have D. I refuse to take my drugs. They're all poison, you know. I should drop B as well.

Gresham is a cool 66F and light rain showers. Cloudy skies. Not like July..

Still burning a torch for Sandy? Women are like street cars, you know. Another one comes along every 10 minutes!

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!

No clouds in sunny Calif.Hit about 90. Hurt my right arm taking the utility battery out of the van. It runs the TV and ref. I will let Walmart put the new one in.It needs a lift.9 more days and I see the city clerk to pick up my mayor papers. Trebert
