Well, it got up to 82 degrees F (28 degrees C) here in Corvallis today. Sunshine, blue
sky. Could see the Cascade Range from my home office.
This picture is by Jeremiah OsGo (on Twitter, too). It is looking east over a wheatfield toward the Cascade Range.
Rest in peace, George Jones, who died today at 81. As someone said, 'His life was a country & western song.'
I don't know where he's going, but I know how he's getting there.
Mary Frances returns home this Sunday.
Enjoy!
