Beginning of Elkhorn Criterion Bicycle Races

The weather interfered with some of the races.

After two injuries this race was stopped.

Tom's helicopter flew into the air
but only for a brief moment
Then CRASH! into a tree,
BASH! onto the roof
and BAM! it hit the dirt
No hands could save it......
Unread directions fluttered in the breeze......
Too bad they were written only in Chinese.........

We are here to visit friends and watch
the Elkhorn Stage Bicycle Races.
We stopped in La Grande for lunch at Mt Emily Ale House.
Russell had a Buffalo Burger and I had Thai Chicken Salad.
We both had the Hells Canyon IPA.
and here's Josie- the nicest and friendliest person
behind the taps this side of the Cascades!

Full Strawberry Moon

This name was universal to every Algonquin tribe. However, in Europe they called it the Rose Moon. Also because the relatively short season for harvesting strawberries comes each year during the month of June . . . so the full Moon that occurs during that month was christened for the strawberry!
Also......
An unusually long total lunar eclipse occured last night as the moon turned full (June 15) for skywatchers across parts of South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia.
At its peak, the total eclipse of the moon lasted 100 minutes, making it the longest lunar eclipse in 11 years. The eclipse was not visible from North America, but observers across a wide swath of the Eastern Hemisphere had a chance to see the lunar event.

There once was a Farmer MacHabbit

Who hated the greedy Peter rabbit

All the veggies were bitten

Chewed up and messily spitten

So he bombed him with carrots "Dagnabbit!"

These carrots made it to Lake Oswego's Farmers Market!
