Debate night

Tonight is the final presidential debate. I think Kerry will win again, not too hard though, kinda like the high schooler against the pre-first student.

Mt St Helens has exposed red lava, I guess you could see it in the crater last night. If I find any good photos I'll put them up. Hopefully today I can see some steam again on the top of the mountain for my view in the office.

Downtown Portland is fairly noisy today.

I'd like to mention something of a phenomena in Portland, this lady has been sitting in the Pioneer Courthouse Square for over a month. Usually she is in the same place and wears a robe like thing that used to be yellow and now she has a new blue one. She is causing quite the discussion these days, everyone sitting in the square yesterday seemed to be often looking in her direction and pointing from time to time. Rig and I have been observing for weeks. Could she be the queen of the Thunderdome? Story developing....
