Two weeks ago, this part of Oregon had a major rain.
Rivers were "blown out"... flooding and chocolate colored.
My wife and I spent a great weekend at the coast,
and came back to PDX on Sunday.
It was a fantastic drive home, up over to coast range,
first along the Wilson River to the summit,
and then down Gales Creek to the Willamette Valley.
I was so cheerful and looking forward to getting back on-line again.
I planned to describe the brilliant green of the river and white hanging fogs,
the yellows of the vine maples on the forest floor,
the greys of the forest punctuated by the greens of the cedar and fir.
But first, I started catching up on my un-read postings,
and got into those god-awful postings in the "Merc - Wtf" thread.
I've been fairly dispirited all week.
So now it's another weekend.
I am going to use it to get over those disappointments,
and spend more time with my G-daughter, my wife, my dog,
or anyone else that can put up with me and my foul mood.
