a greyhound right off the bus.

L O C A L news & stuff,.. mostly stuff.
-------------------------
Gasoline prices around town are hovering in the $3.00 range. Some
stations are even offering full service at that price. They're asking
two quarters and a nickel more than that for diesel.
Although that does sound a bit high,.... water goes for a buck a bottle
in the machine. And,..... you still have to drink it yourself at that
price.

ONLY 2 MORE days TIL Raumin GONE.
--------------------------
There doesn't seem to be much activity on the north end of town.
However, someone dropped off a load of insulation at the "railroad
long-house" in the past few days.

Most of the stuff people worry about ain't never gonna happenanyway.

Uncle Johnny's message about Mount St. Helen gave Bert reason to share
the following. >>>>
Subject: comments on the Mt. St Helens dome building.
I am eye witness to the dome building startingonly15 day after
the eruption on May 18th. Wife Kathryn, myself and our three children
were in our pickup/camper driving by Packwood only days after the
eruption. We wanted a closer look at the mountain and saw a gate on the
original road to the mountain from the east sidewas open that morning
and there were no signs so I drove in. The road was covered with more
pumicegravel than ash and it went well for a while. Then it got
deeper and deeper and the pathway was so narrowit was impossibleto
turn around so we kept going getting pretty nervous. Countless trees
were cut that were lying across the roadway, then we came across a
burned out Pontiac car pushed off the road.
When we finally found area to turn around we were right on the east
side of the blown out crater. There were steam explosions / eruptions
and we could watch the huge rocks tumbling down from the dome that was
being pushed up, there was a steady loudrumble from the earth.The
lake was in an entirely different location and was covered 100% by trees
that had washed back down from the slopes.
About ten minutes later two green government6 pack trucks arrived.
To say the least, they were not very happy to see us. But one man said
he checked the locks and they were still locked with the gate
lockedin the open position. That took the pressure off and they could
understand there was no way I could turn around -- looking for a spot
took us to the crater edge.
They were very accommodating and as they set up the glass graphs
measuring the rapiddome building they explained it to us. When I
asked where Harry Trumans cabin was a ranger pointed to an area and said
he is about 265 feetunder that waterandold Mt. Saint Helens.
They refused my request to take photographs and in fact asked me for the
film in my camera which I gave them with no argument.They probably
thought I was going to market some photos. It was years before anyone
was let drive there again. Bert A. Overland <<< Thanks a million for
caring and sharing Bert.
