Steam whistles from the past

The other day, while I was in the back yard rewiring my fog machine, I heard, coming from the Columbia river, the unmistakable sound of a steam whistle. That slow, multi-toned blast from the past echo...

Tomorrow

Tomorrow's Maggie's surgery. We have to be at Providence at 6am, and she can't have any coffee! I think they have wifi at the hospital - if so, I'll post some entries here as the day goes by. There wi...
