OFF AND ON--Last Friday was a gorgeous day and some folks were even enjoying a nice Saturday right from the start, but for those of us here in Skamokawa, it began as a cool, drippy, cloudy and well, not all that great of a beginning. Luckily, by late afternoon, the clouds parted and the sun peeked out, so that was enjoyable while it lasted, as the rains returned once again that evening. Sunday was off and on again too, so the "nice day" that forecasters predicted showed up in spurts, but it was dry enough in the afternoon to get the lawn mowed...

Last week, the Wahkiakum Chamber of Commerce cancelled their annual Hook the Hawg fishing derby, scheduled for Friday and Saturday due to conditions and the lack of interest. "The extreme weather has affected visibility in the river," Commerce Director Paige Lake said. "All the snow melt and continually drenching rain turned the river a muddy brown, and the fish can't see any of the flashing lures." And if the fish aren't biting, then out of town sport fishermen aren't either. According to Tim...

In the final scene, a girl is surprised to find out who...
To The Eagle: How does the county approve a marijuana business in a motel that could not be used for its lack of water and septic system? How does that motel qualify as a business location when it magically disappeared from the market in a supposed foreclosure where nobody was given the opportunity to purchase it and for what price? This is but one of the many properties that supposedly were sold in foreclosure sale (auctions that never happened). I personally attended a couple of these auctions that never happened. Myself and others wasted...
SOGGY--As this week begins, it's a very soggy Sunday indeed. Saturday saw some breaks in the rain at least, but if you ask me, Sunday was just a good day to hunker down and stay put inside where it was nice and dry!

SPECIAL DAYS--Those celebrating birthdays from March 30-April 5 are Leif Carroll, Linda...
