The weekend came and went and the weather also came and went except that the weather is very much here and Springlike! Thunder, snow, wind and rain hit The Central…
Yachats
Here we go again!!
Back in the writing world again! It’s been awhile so it’s gonna take a minute or two to get up to speed! Then I will begin to bombard you with volumes of material that may or may not make a difference. However as the title says “Here we go again” Cheers…
Changes
In an earlier column I wrote about how living in Yachats during the summer is like being in a marathon. The season starts slow then moves along at a brisk pace with lots of visitors in the area and lots of people passing through town. There is action in the air and the energy is…

That wasn’t an everyday occurrence around here back then, or now, although The Oregon State Baseball team is the defending Collegiate Champion; but generally when baseball…
