Buck Rogers Was Here



Well, actually it's a communications tower, but that's not as much fun.

Union Street Railroad Bridge



The railroad bridge over the Willamette River, being converted to pedestrian traffic, is getting closer to completion, now set for April 18. The bridge will join the trail systems of Riverfront Park on the 'right bank' with Wallace Marine Park's on the left. See previous [post]. From this angle, it reminds me of an old roller coaster.

Roy G. Biv



Just as we were settling into the "Chemo Lounge" on the 4th floor of the COM Building at the Salem Hospital, this beautiful rainbow appeared. The State Capitol with it's golden 'Statesman' can be seen as well as Waller Hall with it's cupola on the Willamette University campus. I don't recall ever seeing a rainbow so vibrant with each band of color very distinct. We welcomed it as a sign of hope.
