7/13/4 - Clatskanie to Boise Cascade, St. Helens


A real pain in the ass haul from the logging road outside of Clatskanie to Boise Cascade here in St. Helens. Got madder than hell at the CEPA office which don't matter none other than I was hotter than my rig low on oil when I stepped in The Red Line to cool down. I no sooner was nursing a tall frosty one, when I heard this drunk talking about some of the good folks here gettin together to build an amphitheater in one of your parks for music and other gettin' togethers. A real nice thing I thought. This guy was going on and on about how y'all really need some goddamn conference center built which, as I figure it, will just end up hostin' a bunch of CEPA executive meetings. "To hell with that", I told him. "You shoulda heard about the dog statue they wanted to build in the park," he told me in a slurred bark. I figured he was just drunk because his BS story made no sense at all. I mean he was really drunk. Couldn't have been true. Anyhow, take care of things here in this nice little town y'all got, ya hear? Tom
