My school is on the Nisqually River - a glacier on Mt Rainier is the source, and upsteam from the school there is a big dam. It's been raining heavily for days, and the children were almost sent home yesterday because of water being released from Alder Dam. Word is out now (Mr. Yazzie told Mothra and Mothra told me) that there's no school tomorrow and there're some kind of evacuation notices being sent out to those along the river. Ten years ago the school was destroyed by flood - who knows what will happen now - probably nothing.

Ten years ago the entire valley was the river - I drove there to see. It worked out well for me as I has a multi-mural project to paint in a nice doctor's family house, so I was busy and made money. During that time my father had heart surgery, and I waited in the hospital while working on the design for one of the murals.

My building wasn't damaged but was knocked down due to the rules. Of course, the water had become toxic with the contents of every septic tank from there-to-Nisqually Glacier, so it made sense.

I made this right after Enjah sent me the souvenir of D.C. but forgot about it until now:



I got messaged by Doc B that he liked a lot about the first try at the combat cards - and gave me much helpful information plus a non-functioning HUD (I'd not really connected the cards with the HUD but they will be displayed on it). I put the one I'd made on the HUD to see what was what.

Really pouring outside.

My environmental activist neighbor is preparing a case against the Weyerhauser-owned company that clearcut our area, since there is a protected zone surrounding the lake, which is a drinking-water lake. There is not supposed to be clearcutting-road-house-lake with no buffer to filter the water, plus around here they are not supposed to log in the winter. Kennedy Creek, a salmon stream, is RIGHT HERE. I told her I'd seen no otters all winter - she said there's not even DEER now. I said, Well, illegal is the new legal. She's working on doing something - hope it pans out. I saw her yesterday when I called to tell her I had her package, and she brought me cookies she had made.
