I have read how it happens to the firefighters, losing their homes while saving other peoples lives and homes. The aftermath of these horrific events can be devastating to many people who have lost all of their possessions. Insurance costs are getting ridiculous but I understand the reasons. The deductible for earthquake insurance for our home and shop is just under $100K but where we live we felt it's important to have it. Haveing to pay out that much is not nearly as painful as being out for the entire cost of rebuilding and replacing everything that's lost.

 

Not a great photo, but I think that Bill is right. The taillight looks like a 63. All of the other telltale signs are towards the front of the car.

Funny thing is, my wagon is a 64, but the taillights look more like the 63's

 

See, that's why I thought that sedan was a '64. Oh, well.

 

Just something super cool I found on Facebook marketplace. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1520779974868139/permalink/3559252067687576/

 

Tonight in St. Louis we’re the smoke from the Canadian fires. Prayers…

 

We still have those here. Do you?

 

Not that I know of. Most went the way of the Dodo bird after the Interstate was completed.

 

We have at least 3 within 30 minutes of our house.

Well, we do have the ferry boats that ply Puget Sound, in lieu of big bridges across, but Puget Sound is an inland sea, not a river.

 

We did that tour before kids… we stayed on “The Friendly Island”

 

True. I was thinking more along the lines of the small ferries that cross rivers like the one that used to be at Vernita on HWY 24 just past the Hanford Gate. There has been a bridge there as long as I have been alive, but before that there was a ferry similar to the one I posted above. My Dad crossed that river on the ferry countless times as a kid.

 

Sorry.


Take care, breathing in smoke can be deadly for some.
