As Friday afternoon, June 3, 2016 progressed, the Union Pacific tank cars continued to flare up and explode as a result of the 16 tank car derailment at Mosier, Oregon.
Because of frequent sustained high winds, this section of the Columbia Gorge is a mecca for wind sports like windsurfing and kite boarding.
Imagine an exploding tank car with the common 30+ mile per hour winds blowing through The Gorge. We dodged a bullet. I wonder how often we can.
This photograph was shot from WA 14, the detour route around the disaster as I-84 was closed for 10 hours.
As of Sunday, Kelly House reporting for OregonLive has said that firefighters on site at Mosier are "still working to investigate the source of an oil sheen that has surfaced on the Columbia River."
I wonder what it could be.
Reported on OregonLive on Wednesday, June 8:
"A total of 16 cars on the 96-car train derailed Friday shortly after noon near the Columbia River Gorge town of 430. Four cars caught fire and the same number leaked 42,000 gallons of Bakken crude from North Dakota. "

According to Wikipedia, Typha (aka bulrush) are often among the first wetland plants to colonize areas of newly exposed wet mud.
Typha are frequently eaten by wetland mammals such as muskrats, which may also use them to construct feeding platforms and dens. Birds use the seed hairs as nest lining.

Say hello to Tacocat, MagicalEnchilada, and HairyPotatoCat! These are all wonderfully crazy characters from the most backed Kickstarter campaign ever, a card game called Exploding Kittens. It honestly looks super fun, and if you haven't already, you should order a copy or two.
This is my attempt at unlocking some 'achievements', to hopefully help hit the last stretch goal!
