Tax season is here!Last training was today.My 2 thoughts:
1) the volunteers are so nice.Proud of the excellent service provided
2) a background check is needed to volunteer @ the library.I wonder if djt has ever volunteered?These days, his convictions DQ him from being a volunteer!
...just sayin'

Tour of The Columbian
1) #Newspaper being printed
2) The Columbian installed a #GossMetroOffset press in 1968. It’s still used by most papers
3) #RollsOfNewsprint
4) Rolls are moved on dollies that run on tracks. Each roll is 8 miles long

A Tour of The Columbian

The #GossMetroOffset press running at full speed. I think they said it can print 45,000 papers/hour

A Tour of The Columbian
I got to see a #StopThePresses moment!
It wasn’t due to political news. The total number of papers had been printed & they were setting up to print a weekly or paper for a neighboring city.

To note trump's 1styr in office,I attended a #FreeAmericaRally. I was encouraged to see that unicorns support Greenland.
This was the 10th rally I've attended. Compared to my 1st,today there were more horns&waves in support.There were far fewer peeps flipping us off

I'm not sure if this counts as "good news" but the #clematis is starting to leaf out...so is the honeysuckle, a few of the hydrangeas, and the daffodils.
While I'm eager for Spring, what if we have a really hard freeze like we sometimes do in Jan and Feb. What happens to all these tender new shoots?

Facebook reminded me that Andy became a member of our family six years ago. He still has this very serious "Andy" look.

The #FullWolfMoon setting just before #sunrise.

The old Chinese calendar was based on the moon. The new year is always the 2nd full moon aft the WinterSolstice. So 4724, the year of the horse, begins w the next full moon on Feb 17. So don't put away your party hats!

The next to last sunset of 2025 ... did not disappoint. It morphed from a #skyonrfire #sunset to one that glowed across the whole sky, to a #sunset lit from beneath. #fabulous

The #Candytuft is starting to bloom ... I wonder what will happen when/if we get a really cold spell? What will happen next Mar/Apr when real Spring comes???

The dark wedge-shaped area to the left of the tree is the shadow cast by Mt Hood.

I'm a proud supporter of #TheColumbian's #CommunityFundedJournalism Program.

They hosted a really nice event yesterday. Here's one of the special projects the staff worked on.
