Nice. Mt Rainier has similar clouds yesterday but I didn't get pictures. -
From where I'm working I can see Mt. Jefferson, Hood, Adams and Rainier. I'd be able to see St. Helens but it's hidden behind her big brother Adams. Looks Like Mt. Rainier got some fresh snow on it and I think they are forecasting more this weekend. We certainly need the rain in the lower elevations to knock down the fires.Gustard X26 Pro DAC

Georgia WWII veteran, now 98, to be honored by French government
Asked what message he has for fellow Americans, Graziano kept it simple: “Fight for their country. Do what has to be done.”
From the AJC today:
Louis Graziano remembers the grim-faced German troops arriving in the little red schoolhouse that day in 1945 in Reims, France. A U.S. Army master sergeant, his duties including helping rebuild and maintain parts of the city, including that building, where the Germans showed up to surrender at the end of World War II.
He remembers feeling glad the war was over and that he would be able to return home after serving nearly three years abroad.
“They came in straight-faced. They didn’t have much to smile about,” he recalled about the Germans. “I had the room set up where they were all going to sit. It didn’t take them no time to sign the papers.”
This Friday, the French government will present Graziano with the Legion of Honor, France’s highest decoration. It is given to French citizens and foreign nationals who have served the country and its ideals. Gens. Dwight D. Eisenhower and Douglas MacArthur are among its best-known American recipients. Scores of Graziano’s family and friends are traveling to see him receive the honor at a 1 p.m.
He is the son of Sicilian immigrants who arrived at Ellis Island. While his mother, Filipa, raised him and his four older siblings, his father, Pietro, worked as a railroad watchman and as a brick mason. After his sister opened a beauty salon, Graziano followed in her footsteps, becoming a hairstylist.
He was drafted in 1943 and boarded a ship for Scotland before arriving by train in England. After landing in France as part of the Allied invasion, he pushed all the way to Reims, where he was put in charge of plumbing, communication, electrical and construction work.
Graziano met his future wife, Bobbie, there. He remembers first seeing her pitching in a softball game. An Alabama native, she was also serving in the U.S. military. “She was a staff sergeant, and I was a master sergeant, so I pulled my rank on her,” he joked. When the war was over, they settled in the Augusta area. They were married for 62 years before she passed away in 2007.
Graziano, who survived a battle with COVID-19 in September, is also often asked about the secret to his longevity. He points to a habit he picked up from his Sicilian parents. “I cook everything with olive oil,” he said. Graziano still cuts hair in the same brick salon he built with his bare hands in the Augusta GA area. He works near the front of his shop, where he can look out the window and see the world.
His children include a son who served in Vietnam and who has received three Purple Hearts. Fittingly, that son, Louis “Butch” C. Graziano II, is scheduled to speak at his ceremony Friday.
Copies of his book, “A Patriot’s Memoirs of World War II,” sit on the counter next to his salon chair. Graziano didn’t talk about the war for years, his daughters said, and decided to write his memoir after Bobbie died.
“I think he wanted people to realize what they went through for our freedom,” said his daughter, Moira Johnson.
“He is having a hard time thinking of himself as a hero and a famous person,” she added, “because that is not Dad.” Another daughter, Kim Evans, agreed: “He says the heroes are the ones who died.”
