Jack Scherer

This just in from Ed Scherer.......................

Everyone,

It is with sadness that I report my Dad’s passing last night.  He held you all close to his heart.  At his request, there will be no services, however, I will send to all of you a flyer that will show where remembrances can be made if you so choose.

Dad was a people person and he now has more folks to share his stories with!

I can be reached at:

206.719.6167

I will keep my Dad’s e-mail account open until the end of November.

Tracking cookies

A tracking cookie is a device put on your computer when you open some web pages. Sometimes they ask you if it is all right and sometimes not. Your computer then sends them information about what you are looking at when you surf the web and they generally use that information to sell to advertisers that then bombard you with stuff they have to sell that you might like to buy... called spam.

If this doesn't appeal to you... it doesn't to me... Follow the above link to learn which ones are all ready on your computer and how to opt out if you so like.

These cookie purveyors are the more conscientious ones at least they own up to what they are doing and give you a choice whether to use them or not. I like that.

If you have a problem send an email to teckron@gmail.com and I will try to help you out.

A high surf warning was also in effect Sunday through 6 p.m. Monday. A strong offshore storm will create swells 25 to 30 feet Sunday evening, continuing through Monday afternoon.
The Coast Guard has closed the Columbia River and Tillamook Bay bars and the Siuslaw River mouth at Florence because of hazardous storm conditions.
'A high surf warning means that dangerously high surf will batter beaches in the advisory area producing deadly rip currents and minor beach erosion,' officials said. 'This is not a time to be near the water.'"

NOAA - National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration - NOAA: Another Winter of Extremes in Store for U.S. as La Ni�a Strengthens

NOAA - National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration - NOAA: Another Winter of Extremes in Store for U.S. as La Ni�a Strengthens: "The Pacific Northwest should brace for a colder and wetter than average winter, while most of the South and Southeast will be warmer and drier than average through February 2011, according to the annual Winter Outlook released today by NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center."

Pacific Northwest: colder and wetter than average. La NiƱa often brings lower than average temperatures and increased mountain snow to the Pacific Northwest and western Montana during the winter months, which is good for the replenishment of water resources and winter recreation but can also lead to greater flooding and avalanche concerns;
