Favorite Movie Quotes: Bridge On the River Kwai

"I'd like that drink now. I'll apply for a medical discharge. I'll tell them that I impersonated an officer because I went off my rocker in the jungle. I'm getting worse, y'know. Sometimes I think I'm Admiral Halsey."

Tumwater, Washington

Postcard - Mount Saint Helens, Washington

"The cascade country in the Mount St. Helens vicinity in Washington State ranked among the most majestic wilderness areas in the world. Now, after the eruption of Mt. St. Helens on May 18, 1980, thousands of giant 200 foot trees lie strewned across the mountain terrain. Their bark and branches have been stripped away by the volcano's blast."

And we have four more volcanoes that could blow at any time. I camped at Spirit Lake, where St. Helens was reflected in the water, in Sept. 1978, and even at that late date there was no clue it was going to erupt within such a short duration.

Willamette River, Portland, Oregon

Postcard - Mount Saint Helens, Washington

"Mt. St. Helens and Yale Lake"

Appears to be from the 1960s. This is an artificial lake created by a dam in the early 1950s. It is also the area where skyjacker D.B. Cooper was thought to have landed, mostly in neighboring Lake Merwin.

St. Helens, of course, no longer looks like that. The 1980 eruption literally blew the top off.

This morning some enterprising squirmybrain hacked into my email and sent out a bunch of junk to many of you out there in MortyLand. Yahoo tells me it originated in Brazil. Yahoo also gave me their IP address which I will be happy to provide if you wish to "thank" them.
