The view from Debby’s porch

Debby, official younger sister of NewMexiKen, lives in Astoria, Oregon, the oldest American settlement west of the Rockies. Her porch sits about 60 feet above the Columbia River, at sea level here as it nears its outlet into the Pacific. Sunday was cool and rainy with low skies. This was the view looking northwest around 7:20 PM. That’s Washington State across the river.
