Hyacinth
City and Nature

Yesterday afternoon I saw a bald eagle from my office window.

I ran to one of the attorney's offices. He has some binoculars that are more often used to look at accidents on the Morrison Bridge. He was talking to someone so I had to elbow my way in and as I dashed to the window he said, "What is it?"

Me: "Bald eagle! Bald eagle!"

I was not even a teeny bit embarrassed about my excitement. And it was contagious because he went down the hall and pretty soon half the people on our side of the office had their faces pressed against the glass. I think that's the 2nd or 3rd time I've seen one downtown.

And I don't know how the fishing works around here but this morning the Columbia River was filled with boats on either side of the bridge. And what a great morning for it. Cold but clear. Mt. Hood is out.

The forecast says it's going to be doodoo all weekend. 50 degrees and rain. I'm going to load up on presto logs and keep the garden tools in deep storage. My sweetheart is going out of town and I'm going to have the most amazing weekend of productivity ever seen.

The murderer or killer, the girl Isabela, shook a country. What threw the girl from the sixth floor of a building. Who practiced this act against the life of an angel, is one that deserves covarde leaves of movement of live with the society. I am a father and barbaric crime that shocked me too. Imagine how many parents, was not shocked by this fact absurd occurred in Sao Paulo, a state with 40 million inhabitants. I hope that the State prosecutor, found that crime and the criminal puna this cruel crime. I call that Brazil is manifest against this terror of violence, which is challenging our hearts.
