36. Columbia Gorge Time-slip

Columbia Gorge Time-slip

I’m certain the falls were iced over yesterday. Or was that last week? My memory is failing me and I’m certain only that it was the day I went to the library. Or was that the dentist? A gray Suburban sped past, eastbound on I-84. I remembered it from last time — that distinctive off-color driver’s side door, the crimp in the front bumper where I’m certain it had tangled with an elk or possibly something larger and more dangerous.

Last time? What last time was I thinking of? The day the falls froze over and I was stuck on the highway? That wasn’t yesterday. It was last Tuesday.

But if that’s the case, then why have I taken so many pictures of the frozen falls and why is my camera still stuck on exposure number twelve?
