Sun Spots So Big, They Could Swallow The Earth
At first glance, they look like crop circles.
Or maybe part of a bright painting in a museum somewhere.
But no, what you see here is double sun spot #1263 as seen on August 2, 2011.
NASA says each part of the ‘double’ is big enough to swallow the earth.
So I added the mini-earths to this picture just to give you an idea of the… Read more

His biceps have me beat. But I’m pretty sure I taught him all he knows about doing the weather!

An Interview With Mt. Hood Skibowl’s Hans Wipper
It’s an event on the Sussman calendar every summer: a trip to Government Camp, Oregon where we go down the Alpine Slides you see in this picture.

It was the Alpine Slides that originally got us hooked on Mount Hood Skibowl’s Summer Action Park.
Now it’s the fact that every year it seems like there’s… Read more

The Northwest Summer Day To Avoid – If You’re Getting Married
Have you ever started hunting for something specific around the house–only to find something unexpected, that’s really cool?
Well, that happened to me when I was digging through the records on rainy & cool July days.
I discovered that if you’re getting married in Portland or Salem during the summertime–do not plan an outdoor wedding on July 12th!
Cool days happen from time to time in… Read more
