[or-roots] Battleship Oregon

We were still using an ice box in Portland, S.E. 11th Ave, in 1946 or 
so.  The arrival of the ice man was an event not to be missed by all the 
neighborhood kids, especially in the summer.  In the winter time we got 
our ice kick by breaking huge icicles from the eves of houses.     --Anne

"God has cared for these trees, saved them from drought,
disease, avalanches and a thousand tempests and floods.
But He cannot save them from fools."    --  John Muir
