I stumbled across this isolated odd plot in the west end of the McCleary Cemetery today. The disturbed turf looked to be about the size needed to bury a pet.

Close Call
Mar. 28, 2018
In Oct. 2017 the outer wooden porch on the east end of the abandoned Mark Reed Hospital caught on fire and was contained before it could spread. It is my understanding this was a makeshift shelter used by a homeless person and that might have had something to do with the blaze.

Sidewalk with a built-in drain
Mar. 12, 2018
This hole in the sidewalk, near the corner of Simpson and Summit next to Beerbower Park, opens up to what appears to be a good sized cavity under the surface.

You know the old saying--
--"A Bird in the Hand is Worth Two Clowns in the Bush," or something like that.
This little tableau was on top of the air conditioner on the outside wall of City Hall today. Could it be a political statement, as in, someone has a fowl opinion of the clowns who were elected to City government? Whatever. It made me laugh.

Pampas or Ravenna Grass?
Mar. 12, 2018
Pampas grass and Ravenna Grass, which are similar in appearance, are both considered invasive and noxious weeds by the Washington State Noxious Weed Control Board. Grays Harbor County is one of the main homes for Pampas grass in the state.
Noxious or not, I think it looks amazing.

Indoor swimming pool!

The Maple Street view of the former Timbear Cafe, opened ca. 1957 and in operation as a restaurant under various names for a few decades before ending up as a second hand store.
Before there was Grays Harbor Transit there was Washington Coast Lines and this Maple Street corner was their main McCleary stop.
This structure is now for sale and as you can see by the roofing it comes by default with its own indoor swimming pool.

The last of the snow for this round
Feb. 27, 2018
The snow seems to take longer to melt away on Arkie Hill, McCleary's Arctic microclimate.
