Since my family may moving to Salmon, we decided to tour the town. It has an awesome city park, a Subway, a Bed and Breakfast, and a small park in a river. The river spilts briefly then rejoins. The park is in that area.
The town is named after the Salmon River, called, "the river of no return." The river flows north into a canyon where there are no roads.
But the area is known best for that it is the birthplace of Sacajawea.
See ya!
P.S: HAPPY NATIONAL TRAIN DAY!
How many of you have heard about plans to build High Speed Rail lines in Florida and California (among other places)? Anyone who said no has got to get a better grip on modern communication. It's been news for a while. But why is it needed?
Easy. Airports are becoming overcrowded. Highways too. Conventional rail can't always get people around fast enough. High speed rail (Defined in the U.S. as over 125 mph) could decrease travel times a lot. (The max train speed in many places is 79 mph.) Th
Our town is a town in Eastern Oregon with about 1600 people.
The pros of living in a small town?
>>>>the smaller the town, the less likely are the chances of getting bombed.
>>>>You know more of the people in the community
>>>>You are probably a lot safer
>>>>It probably has a lesser-known, yet still important historic site. In My case, Kam Wah Chung & Co. History to come.
The Cons?

Today was really painfull. In gym class, we're doing badmitton. As I walked off the stage (warm-ups) I jumped off the 2nd or 3rd step.
I hit the top of the stairwell.
You should not there are only 4-6 stairs, so it's not a talll stairwell. The result was not major laughter, but rather, a splitting headache... and as i later found out, perhaps a dent in my head. I jumped up, Hit head, hit stairs. Ouch.
I asked someone some questions about that, and got surprising answers.
On the plus side,
Shine! Make 'em wonder whatcha got, make 'em wish that they were not, on the outside looking forth.
If you couldn't tell, I was at a Newsboys concert last night in Boise. The first bands were:
Article One
NEWWORLDSON
Rush of Fools
Newsboys was great. We got a combo DVD/CD. We also got our Article One CD signed!
Shine!
Tuesday, July 1st:
We got a dog from the Redmond Humane Society in Redmond, OR.
She is part Pit Bull, Part Chihuahua.
Reminds me of a movie Disney is making.
She was called Nala.
She trusts Jalina More than me, but only slighty.
She is the cutest dog this side of the Galaxy.
Martians landed at my house.
There is a STARGATE in my closet.
And a hitching bink in the Kitchen Sink.
My sister is weird,
i am not!
you are too!
am not!

Am Not!
Are Too
D-2!

TODAY is the last day for blogging. I just want to thank BZPower again. Hopefully i'll be right this time.
I wonder if we'll have a game tonight. Yesterday's soccer practice was thundered out. Who knows...

This is a news report from KAJN. The debate between sodas, Pepsi and Coca Cola, came to a crashing halt when BZP member Kapurkar said that he preferred a Graveyard(multiple flavors combined) between Pepsi, Coke, Root Beer, and Sprite. This has been KAJN.
In 1888 I think it was, two Chinese men bought an old army military post. This became the Historic Kam Wah Chung & Co.
Doc Hay was the most famous herbal doctor between San Fransisco and Seattle...I'm serious. He lived until 1948, and some of his herbs are still in the museum, the real Kam Wah Chung building.
Lung On owned a general store, and when he died in 1940, he owned several rental properties, a few mines, and the first auto dealership in Eastern Oregon!
I have been in the museum s
Remember That Entry about the Sumpter Valley Railroad?
Well, I rode it today. Had fun and learned some things:
The Railroad restoration group ownes the last Narrow Gauge (three feet between the rails) RPO (post office) car that I know of.
They own one of Four operating narrow gauge Heisler locos.
The Satandard gauge of rails was decided because the first railroad had an english loco, and the tracks were bulit to that scale: 4 Ft 8.5 In.
They were that wide because trains replaced horse dra
Sorry I have been away for some time. I was playing this really cool game...YYYAAAAAAARRGGHH!
Scare you?
My sister, Jalina, was promoted today. She will attend High School next year. Check her blog.
Good news! We are NOT moving to Salmon! That means my blog is safe for a while!
WHY is the bad news. Health issues with Grandma Eileen.
See you in a week! And check out my newest comic!
Last Night Was the Talent Show In The County Fair (which is the longest continuous fair in Oregon-99 years, 100 next year.) I sang With dad a song by deceased composer, John Denver. The song was "Grandma's Feather Bed", and Won us Second prize in our division. As a treat, Dad let me and my sister go on the Hammerhead.
Here's a Line
"Well I love my Ma, I love my Pa, I love Granny and Grandpa too,
I've Been Fishin' with my uncle, I rassled with my cousin, I even kissed Aunt Lou, EEEEEW!"
Today on the Redmond Dental Trip, I had a fortunate - I didn't have to worry about getting a filling.
Then I saw a 7-diesel BNSF frieght while eating lunch!
We went to Costco, and I saw two live birds flying around. Dad said they flew n but couldn't get out.
We went to the Nearby Humane Society, but we couldn't find a dog we liked.
Here's a filler between last entry and now.

Remember, It's my blog.
Now That Jalina Is Home, I can Tell you about the Surprise From Last Time.
WWHHHEEEEE! WWEEEE! Wii!
Yes. We have a Wii. And in a week, I am The Master of Find Mii, Shooting Range, And Tanks!
Right Now, I am posting in my Blog, with Tahu Mistika In my lap, And I am the Proud owner of a 1960's Marx Train Set (unshipped), And A Kato N scale 10 car Daylight Passenger Car Set (also unshipped)
Bye!
Doc Hay and Lung On weren't the only ones to come to "Tiger Town" as the place was called. Many, perhaps more than 10 thousand, I don't know, Chinese came here during the Mid-Late 1800's. Want to know why? I'll tell you why.
THERE'S GOLD IN THEM THAR HILLS!
There was. And there still is. Not everyone who got rich here mined gold though!
You know how I went to the Dentist a few entries ago? I thought I was through for a while. I thought I was done.
I was wrong.
Now I have a dentist appointment in Ontario, OR. The good news is that we may adopt a dog.
I think I'm going to be limiting my amount of LEGO G-scale rolling stock to engines and small cars. Based on pricing for my Tank Car, Hopper, and Boxcar, what I save on engines I'll lose on cars!
Unless you compare against LGB, in which case I'll still be saving.
I was able to get my N scale Freedom Train GS-4 preordered today. Now I just have to wait until November to get it!
