"The bridge across the mouth of the mighty Columbia River linking the southwest corner of Washington State with Astoria, Oregon."

1960s.

This photo was taken from the Oregon side. Driving on this bridge can get pretty exciting when the wind is kicking up.

Morty Comix # 2671

Morty Comix # 2671 was drawn on my half-swept driveway using special Spongebob Squarepants chalk. It felt quite prehistoric to be doing this, and I realized the image was a bit on the basic/primal side. Hard to draw much detail with the implements and "canvas" on hand. By the next day our famous Washington State rain washed it completely away. When the rain returns after a dry summer we Mossbacks are happy.

Favorite Movie Quotes: The Day the Earth Stood Still

Favorite Movie Quotes: Casino

"In the casino, the cardinal rule is to keep them playing and to keep them coming back. The longer they play, the more they lose, and in the end, we get it all."
