For the past week or so, City of Sutherlin has asked us to reduce our water usage while they did some repairs to a water treatment plant. Timber Valley really did our part. For the last week we were able to reduce our water usage by 25% or more. We believe a good portion of that reduction was from reduced irrigation around the Park.
Now that the repairs have been made, the restrictions have been reduced. Because we’re in the worst drought in recorded history, they are still asking everyone to voluntarily keep water use to a minimum. So, for example, while you can wash your cars and rigs again, just be smart about it. Use a self-closing nozzle and maybe extend the time between washings. And, perhaps, some of your plantings could get by just fine with a reduced watering schedule. Thanks Everyone.

Rita and I had a wedding photography business. We worked everywhere from the firehouse to the country club. After working one very long day at a country club, we found out that “ the help “ , dj and photographers were not to be fed. We didn’t care much for that so we took a few “ candid “ shots of the bride demonstrating her nastiness. We were fed. Blackmail? Hell yes ! 
It has been quite awhile since I last reported on my Cancer journey. There was supposed to be a story on the radiation treatments that were to follow the chemo. I bought the creams and lotion. Dug out the most comfortable bras. But continued to do my research. Not just with Dr. Google but with a couple of support groups I found on Facebook. My concerns were my age, (I am the oldest member in one of those group,). I am very fair skinned, I will say that I can get a sunburn from 100 wt bulb, not true, but you understand. And it is the left boob that is involved, so close to my heart and I am also an a-fib patient. I read all the directions and tips. Did you know that a cabbage leaf makes a perfect bra liner? Keeps all the ointment and lotions on the boob and not your clothes. But then I read from two different sources that radiation on seniors, 70yrs plus, had little or no benefits. That is when I decided to refuse it. One Dr. admitted it would not change my numbers, and my Primary Dr. was glad. Said there was no reason to put myself through that.
