Chehalis

Back from the weekend getaway, tooth all fixed up, nice sunny day, holiday for some,
and every day for me, fa, la, is a holiday tee hee.
(Imagine little semiquavers dancing)

I put some work in on the cello duet this morning,
I put in three changes and then I took them out again.

Must be done.

Back to the concerto project, I guess.

On our way back from the coast, we took the road out of Raymond to I-5 at Centralia.
This road follows the route of the Chehalis river.
We had planned on stopping at a park (can't remember the name) to stretch legs and use the facilities.
The park, being across the river from the road, is (used to be) accessed by a nice solid bridge steel beamed and cable anchored.
Gone.
The hefty granite and masonry anchors shattered, steel beams bent and the whole thing gone.
You remember when I-5 was closed due to flooding?
This was the river that did it.

Ripped out trees, fields knee deep in mud.
Farmers with 'dozers and back hoes digging out their driveways.
I hope for their sake that the free delivery was good rich topsoil.
Floods and farmers usually have a good relationship.

Anyway the next rest stop was way north of Centralia.

We almost had a couple floods of our own.

Remind me to get a new cartridge for my printer before next Thurzdee.

OMG! I,like, got this humongous book at Longbeach it's all about this funny looking dude named "Winston Churchill"
LOL!
No rilly that's his name!
I guess he had somthin to do with the swivel war...... whatever.

Off the edge of the world once again.
