Fortunately, they capture the smelly gasses and release them all at once around 3:00 in the morning. Or so I've heard. All I know is I have worked less than a mile south of the place that makes that smell, and I haven't smelled it in a long time.

Yeah, it's not as bad as it used to be -- I actually lived in Lebanon for a year when it was in its full glory and hoodaddy was it memorable. I think it was called the craft plant, don't know if it still is called that.

It's the International Paper Mill.

When did you live in Lebanon? I live there now...

It's generally around that time, yes.

The smell is the worst when it is foggy and dewy in the fall and spring. You can smell it down by South real easily.
 
Why did the beaver dam fail?

Because the quack was too large to overcome.

Hey, I got you by two years, lol. What school did you go to?

Sure sign that I'm getting old: I don't remember for sure. Was it called Santiam? It was an elementary school on the north side of town within spittin' distance of Dairy Queen and the middle school.

My most vivid memory was skipping to the back of the math book because I figured that's where the good stuff would be (even then I was a huge geek) and reading the chapter about money. Starting a life in crime early and using what I'd learned, I told kids that nickels were bigger than dimes and started trading my nickels for their dimes. The perfect kinder-racket until I got busted.

Heheheh! Yeah, Santiam was right behind the Middle School. Now, it's the brand-new cop shop, and the new Library is being built where the Middle School used to be. Dairy Queen is gone, and there's a drive-thru coffee hut sitting in that parking lot now. The Middle School's football field is now a retirement condo complex. Take a look at that area on Google Earth. The Lowe's Distribution Center is freaking huge...
 
So, I guess this really is OT. Not exactly sure why, though. :dunno:

Ahhh, well.......... :cheers:

I haven't been back in awhile -- my grandmother used to live there, but she moved to Salem and that took away my biggest reason to go. I'm guessing there's a lot that would surprise me about Lebanon now. Hopefully the old Tastee Freeze is still kickin' -- that seemed like one of the few old school places still around last time I was there. Danged good boysenberry ice cream.

Oh Man, I used to stop in there semi-regularly and get milkshakes. I grew up in Albany but my best friend's family moved to Lebanon when we were in HS and so I used to spend a fair amount of time over there (he lived out by Sodaville IIRC).

Gramps...

Tastee Freeze became Hasty Freez, and is gone now, too. They widened the road and rounded the corner for the truck route, and when they finished, the building was too close to the road so they were forced to tear it down. That, and other (some outdated) stories about Lebanon here.
 
If the Ducks can play at least somewhat close to the level they played at in their last two games of the season, they'll be fine. :)

There is still a Hasty Freeze in Albany!

I've always heard the smell thing is how you find Corvallis. Drive South 'til you smell it, then drive West 'til you step in it. :ghoti:

I remember I wanted to go to UofO when i was a junior in HS. I went to a tour of OSU and I said to my dad before going, "i heard that some days you can smell the cow shit all over campus." He tells me, that's just a bunch of lies and exagerrations. The day has gone by and no smell, we get into one of the newer engineering labs and my dad leans over and says "can you smell the cow shit now?" I admit my fault.

Then the spring came.

And in some ways he was right, there was no cow shit smell, because we have sheep farms right by campus.:sigh: So yes, you can smell that once in a while, just like when you go into the barns at the county/state fair.

The LGB/LMJ show is gonna be a fun one. Boise State's two interior defensive linemen are out for this game. Dux are gonna run up and down the ugly blue turf all day.

is it their starting DT's who are out or backups? If it's their starters, I expect it to be a cakewalk for UO.

I'm not much of a better, but does anyone know what Vegas thinks about this game?

so much anger in the comments section of the Jaynes article lol.

Crabby Beaver fans who can't understand why a nationally televised game between the #14 and #16 ranked teams in the country is getting more exposure than their non-sold-out home game against a sub-Division 1 team.
 
Boise State is tough at home... that is for sure... and being that they only really need to win one tough game per year and then they can coast through the rest of the season...

I think their late hits last year may come back to haunt them. Ducks will be ready. Should be a great game. Ducks either roll or lose a close one. I say they roll.

according to this it doesnt mention starters.. I'm thinking backup which will hurt their depth, and may pay dividends by the 4th Quarter.

well ESPN is trumpeting that BSU won't have to worry about senior Duck wideout Rory Cavaille... can't say I've ever noticed the guy on the field before.

I don't know if it's the same sort of thing or not.

He is a former walk on who earned a scholarship this year. Basically was going to be in the two deep as a slot receiver, but because of Oregon's depth it won't be a huge factor. BSU's lack of depth on the D-line is going to have a major impact on the game since Oregon ran all over them last year and I think the running game is going to be just as good if not better because of Masoli.

Don't forget about LaMichael James. I really think this kid is gonna be special. Was all over the "best of Texas" lists his junior and senior years in high school and was a standout on the scout team at Oregon during his redshirt year last year. He'll be a nice change of pace from Blount's physical style.

I CANNOT WAIT for this game.

I'm pretty excited to see the Duckies myself... I predict lots of back in forth pacing and a big knot in the stomach for me :)
