Poor ole ed just doesn’t learn….
OMG,
Squirrels gather nuts.
In other words, what’s your point?
Two on the Cowlitz, not including the barrier dam, two on the Nisqually, Two on the Skokomish and one on the Wynoochee.
Are you insinuating that having more than one dam somehow absolves you from the responsibility of keeping them secure?
Attn: Free Air and The DCE…. u do realize that there is more than 1 Tacoma Power Dam on the east side right?
Electric Rates are up and continue to rise, yet they cannot afford an alarm or a security officer. Welcome to America
…. bluebirds in the sink.
I called Chehalis Po-lice
Who don’t know what to think!
🙂 I gotta say I am absolutely grateful that I have never had a snake in the microwave… oh yeah, and also glad spiders don’t have wings.
So much for which we can be grateful! …on many levels.
Another Burglary at the Mossyrock Dam?!?!
Isn’t this the same place where thieves used a tacoma power forklift to load up heavy items after they broke in? Who the “heck” is supposed to be in charge of security there? I would have really believed that a licensed hydroelectric facility would take burglaries and intruders seriously in this modern age. I guess that’s my error. It just seems unbelievable that such a facility could be broken into so many times with no security improvements. Somebody somewhere is not earning their paycheck.
