The snow slide is high in the North Cascades... the remaining winter snow is wet and heavy with spring rain and melt. It is pretty unusual for there to be a slide like this, especially this late. We had a lot of snow up there this year, though!

A&M mom: Bad local news story. Someone vandalized more than 70 markers at the big cemetery at North Street and Cleveland Avenue here in Oly/Tum. Channel 7 covered it. Stones turned over, broken or smashed, the night before Memorial Day. The first to discover it were relatives bringing flowers this morning. They interviewed a poor sad widow. Broke my heart.

Shameful, thought I would let you know... I assume it will be in the paper in the morning.

Oh gosh, thats terrible...thanks for the headsup, I had not watched the news, and did not know about it...what creeps for doing something like that...

I had metioned earlier in the day, that I was returning from the store, and passed by the Woodlawn Cemetary, near me, the one on the corner of Mullen, and Ruddell Rd...as I passed I noticed a few cars there with women and a group of children putting flowers and flags on each and every grave...it sure looked nice, and stirred my heart to see these little kids doing such a wonderful thing...

And now some smart aleck creeps have to do such a terrible thing to a different cemetary..

I hope they catch the creeps, and penalize them bigtime, and if they are kids, make their parents pay for replacing everything that was vandalized...

I will be sure to watch the news this evening, and get tomorrows paper...this whole incident just makes me sick...thanks for the report...
