If you're curious how four huge dams get removed and a 250-mile river is restored to its natural flow:
Benefits flow quickly as historic dam removal restores Klamath River
The $500 million project dismantled four hydroelectric dams and restored the river’s natural state to the benefit of the river’s ecosystem.

So sorry for your loss. Good for you for honoring her how she lived!

Is that why we 70s kids used slather on tanning oil and go in the sun on purpose??

That would smell amazing!

I used to live in a forest that included Incense Cedar trees. Broke a twig one day and it was like going back to second grade. That's the tree they make pencils out of!

You had me with basil and fresh garlic 😋

This is what ours used to do - she loved to be pushed around on this rolling ladder. OH started it. She would see him near it and run to jump on and demand that he take her for a ride. She'd be mugging for pets all the while.

I have taped up my share! 😂 But there comes a point when you do need to just get a new one.

For a second, I pictured this and thought, that's an interesting goal…

It's ridiculous. One place, the AC actually broke and got stuck on. One poor girl made a roof on her cubicle out of cardboard, because the frigid air was blowing right down her neck.

When the men were cuddling hot coffee mugs and commenting how cold it was, THEN they fixed it. 🙄

A stranger saw me outside in July on a hot day, wearing a hooded cardigan. She looked at me funny until I said, "I dress for the weather in there" *waves at office building*

She smiled and nodded. I knew she got it. 😂

The cardboard boxes of their day, it would seem. And here we repair those to extend their useful lifespans.

Brings back good memories of Very Little Me riding in the shopping cart, screaming with laughter as Mom raced to "snap it up quickly, just 30 seconds more". Gentler times.

Dave Santos was Buster Cretin in the Floating City, for my fellow Captains of yore.

I was barely in range of them! So jealous of the next door neighbor, who was a HAM radio guy and set up an antenna just for that station. 😂 That said, I learned (from him) how the ionosphere can bounce radio waves, which is why North OC sometimes got 91X loud and clear.

I suspect you may have been within range of 91x FM at that point in time? I don't recall hearing the Waterboys on more mainstream stations.

I KNOW IT! I KNOW IT!

I've been wondering for a few years now, when we hit the drop point of folks who have NO IDEA why that symbol means "save". Apparently we have reached it. 😂

Soda can though, now I can't unsee it!
