DARKNESS DESCENDED OVER OUR COUNTRY TUESDAY NIGHT

"As nightfall does not come all at once,
neither does oppression.
In both instances, there is a twilight  when
everything remains seemingly unchanged
and it is in such twilight that we all must be aware of change in the air - however slight - less we become unwitting victims
of the darkness."
                William O Douglas.

Humanity, Living on Borrowed Time?

I don't know...is it stupidity or madness?
Russia just trotted out a new nuclear bomb that can singularly take out Texas or New York state all while being capable of elluding radar detection!
What a warm and fuzzy though that is!
Haven't they heard of MAD...mutually assured destruction!

TOO BAD THERE ARE SO MANY OF US!

While sitting at The Gov Cup in Salem...young couple walks in with...count them...6 tiny toe heads in tow.
They were cute as anything...sextuplets?
Well, you know...populating the planet is everyone's favorite pass time.
Although, I think soon were going to begin to realize that we're screwing ourselves to death...but unfortunately that won't make much of a difference.
My cool app...Population CLock...is reading 7.4 billion humans on Earth...and counting!...almost 300,000 new mouths to feed and clothe just today.
We pray for intelligence...Ha! All we get is more babies!

The Gov Cup coffee house, Salem

A small place in downtown Salem where Governor Brown casually comes in frequently. Ahh, small town Salem sure fits the bill!  :-)

Sisters Oregon!

Very nice town...lots of restaurants and the usual touristy attractions.

So finally a RAV4!

Just couldn't drive the constricting Corolla any longer.  Although the milage was stellar...it was getting louder and louder...it was time to trade.
Enter the RAV4...barely used 2015.
The new ones were 10k more...nuff said.

AHH YES...PORTLAND!
