after a previous glitch took drivers to the edge of a runway instead of
the terminal.

At this writing, Eastern Washington University went into a one hour delay prior to kickoff. This is something happening more and more in a game that used to be played come hell or high water. We have become a very safe nation when it comes to football games but let some folks wander around town with an hour and there might be a mugging or a drivebye shooting. Something about this sounds backwards. Guns and knives must be left at the door in football games..and most drugs as well. I'm not sure how EWU is enforcing the new marijuana laws inside of a college stadium....considering the colleges get grants to operate from the federal government. While the feds have agreed to let Washington alone in its new laws, it is still against the law in federal courts. The students are not allowed to smoke marijuana on campus. That gives us indications of confusion and if your just a young college kid you might make a mistake. Talk of federal funding is all on hold. College funds for kids are going to be held up at fed level if the budget impasse isn't solved soon.

We had some problems with this new net blog. It has some positives but if the negatives are not corrected, I shall go back to the original URL of bobshannon.org starting Monday. Meanwhile the top story isn't an elk....it's the weather. Some serious storms were predicted. It appears that Oregon is the main hit while we might get some heavy rains it will not be as bad as the other side of the Cascades and in the Cascades themselves.....
... Unseasonably windy and very wet storm systems expected this
weekend to impact southwest Washington and northwest Oregon...
A pair of potent early fall storms will impact the Pacific
northwest this weekend... bringing a period of moderate to very
heavy rains to the southwest Washington and northwest Oregon.
These storms will also produce strong winds along the coast and
locally inland as well. These are highly unusual storms for
September and have the potential for producing record rains.
A storm bolstered by subtropical moisture will bring increasingly
heavy rain today into a good part of this evening. High winds will
also occur along the coast and Coast Range. Windy conditions may
spill into the inland valleys as well.
The second potentially even stronger storm is expected to approach
Sunday and move through the area Sunday night. This storm will
have moisture from a former western Pacific typhoon and will
bring another round of heavy rain to southwest Washington and
northwest Oregon Sunday and Sunday night. Even stronger winds are
possible with this storm... both at the coast and inland.
Rainfall estimates through Monday show amounts in the Coast Range
and Cascades could reach 7 to 10 inches... with 2 to 4 inches in
the valleys. These rains will likely lead to areas of Urban and
Small Stream flooding. Larger rivers will likely also see
significant rises. This amount of rainfall will also lead to debris
flows and landslides in steeper terrain. Some places this often
occurs includes the Columbia River gorge... The West Hills of
Portland... and the foothills of the Cascades.
