Good Morning and Good Night

Good Morning everyone,

Marie, when I was working at a hospital in Burbank, CA, Debbie Reynolds was a volunteer and ran the novelties kiosk at the end of our hall. When it came time to close up, she'd bring a huge cart with all manner of goodies for the patients to purchase before going to sleep for the night.

She was extremely popular with our stuntmen whose room was across from the nurse's station, and since we were about the same age, became rather friendly. We were talking about this movie which I had seen and was curious as to what she said to Donald O'Connor at the end of that dance scene.

She told me her heels were bleeding, and Kelly was a tough task master when it came to get each step just right. Since they practiced this over many times, she said, to O'Conner, under her breath, "aren't you glad that's over?"

How nice that Reynolds was such a caring person. I always liked her movies and her personality did seem authentic.

Same place in Oregon where I can see Washington to the north and Idaho to the east.

I am envious ! I miss seeing Idaho and Washington, every single day.
I loved living in Western Washington, where we could see three of the great peaks, Mt. Rainier, Mt. Saint Helens, and sometimes either Mt Adam’s or Mt Hood in Oregon, depending what the view was. If I could live anywhere, the northwest coast would be where I would live, somewhere close enough to go and wade in the Pacific Ocean again.

If I cross the river, looking west, I can see Mt Baker, Mt Hood, and sometime St Helens on a clear day. If I go to the top of the pass, I can see all the peaks, including Mt. Rainer, on a clear day. I love the coast, but quality medical care is too long a trip. Also it has become very expensive and not as friendly as it once was. I wish my health would allow me to drive HWY 101 from the Columbia near Astoria to passed Gold Beach. I did it years ago and enjoyed every bit of it.

Good Morning! Another amazing sunrise. If you flew the path of the apex at the bottom of the photo, you would cross the Snake River into Idaho, and end up where the Salmon River flows into the Snake, somewhere near McCall. For those that don't know, the Snake flows into the Columbia and the Columbia the Pacific ocean.

I have driven parts of Hwy 101 along the coast, @Faye Fox , and it IS an awesome ride. I don’t think that I could be able to drive it now either, but they have a train that runs from Seattle down the west coast to either LA or San Diego, I don’t remember which. It is called the Starlight Special, and it goes along the ocean similar to how the highway goes. I would love to do that , too, and think that I could do it if there was a train station anywhere near here to ride out west on.

When you mentioned Gold Beach, it reminded me of the Oregon Vortex, but then I looked and that is at Gold Hill, not Gold Beach, although not that far away.
I have been there twice, and enjoyed it both times. It was a sacred place to Native Americans, because of the strangeness in the area. It is amazing how gravity and vision work differently there, and I always wonder what causes these phenomenons.
