oh my was i wet today. i thought – “hey, let’s wander down to the willamette and take some photos.” bad idea even with a rain jacket. my feet were soaked, my jeans were heavy and my nose was cold. boy has it been raining. luckily, i live up on Albina bluff and overlook, so we’re not flooded, but the intersection is as a result of some leaves.
i remember the 1996 flooding of the willamette and just heard on the news that we are not in the same situation. there is flooding and i understand I5 is closed south of Ashland due to a mudslide. if you need sandbags or sand for sandbags, you can get it usually at any of the big box home stores like Home Depot of Lowes.

oh and tomorrow is the last day to go fishing in 2005 and its a keeper day. will i see you’all out there on the willamette????
