It was the first day without rain in a week or so and they needed to water down the turf before the game and at half time? Next home game right before we leave for Alaska. Packing the rigs for the summer till then.
Stay tuned.

Portland Timbers win #2 at home
Went to the game this afternoon; Timbers won again. We were pleasantly surprised to see them working together better and better as the season progresses. Many tough trials to go but these fans love the effort they are seeing on the pitch.
Ryan's favorite face outside the revamped stadium.

This Just In.........
Early morning reports indicate the sun rose on Portland this morning. Not just a brightening of the sky, but a shining ball crept over the mountains to steam off the light frost on the rooftops and put a wispy morning mist over the river.
These lousy photos shows the city's project to start returning the rain runoff to the ground rather than add it to the storm drain. Seems that during the frequent heavy rains the runoff overflows to the sewer and adds the mix directly to the river (my simplification to a complicated situation). Any way, these swales fill up and slowly drain back into the ground water. That is except for the part that seeps into Ryan and Judy's basement sump and is pumped back into the street which drains back into the swale. This loop keeps up until a day or so after the rain stops. Or, during the winter, forever.
Should be drier for a few days.
Stay dry.
