I wasn’t fooled

Woke up this morning to white stuff on the ground. It’s always iffy whether the weather report will be correct — too often they predict but the snow doesn’t come. The temperature is expected to get up to 40 this afternoon, so the snow will only stick around long enough to mess up the commute. This evening, though, it will get back down below freezing. I might have to work from home today.

Last night I went to a talk by Kilung Jigme Rinpoche on Meditation in the Tibetan Tradition. Kilung Jigme Rinpoche is essentually an abbot of a monestary that is being rebuilt after the Chinese destroyed it during their invasion. At 14,000 feet, there is now a monistary and a school.
The talk was general (general techniques) and he described some of the main features of the Tibetan Buddist mediation method. About 30 people attended.

I went to Silver Falls State Park this weekend. The falls were tremendous but I misjudged the weather. I thought a forecast of “showers” meant the rain would eventually stop. But no. It kept pouring and pouring and pouring. I got soaked.
I also only made it to the first two falls. They were tremendously full because of all the rain. There were even some other crazy Oregonians enjoying the rain with me. Pictures were taken.
