At least three people died by drowning this weekend.
It's always this way.
A teenager drowned after he or she fell off a jet ski near Oregon City into the Willamette.
A teenager died after jumping off a rock into the Siletz outside Newport. Couldn't make it back to shore.
Then word this evening the St. Helens city administrator was seen struggling in the Columbia River just off the docks by a city park. He is presumed drowned, although it can be difficult to locate a body in the Columbia.
I didn't leave the house today. It was over 90. Still is. The lake would be overrun with people. I don't go there on weekends.
Yesterday I got two watermelons, on sale at the Grocery Depot because their refrigerated truck broke down so they had to sell all the fruit it held fast. 2 for $5!
I had seen a facebook reel on making watermelon slushies. I cut one up into chunks and froze them overnight.
Today I put them first in the food processor on ice crush, then into the blender with some water and honey. Oh my--delicious!
Cheers!
Lets hope no more young folk lose their lives in the water this summer.
