200 years ago today the Lewis & Clark expedition dipped their canoes in the mighty Columbia River for the first time and headed down stream in the final leg of their westward journey to the Pacific Ocean. For the first time since they left the Mandans April 7, 1805, in present day North Dakota, they were back on the map. An American ship captain had "discovered" the Columbia River just eight years earlier.
Clark wrote on this date in 1805: "After getting safely over the rapid and having taken dinner, set out and proceeded on seven miles to the junction of this river and the Columbia, which joins from the northwest."
Back in the 21st Century, I attended Cypresse's Sunday Sunrise Yoga class. It's very church-like on a Sunday morning and Cypresse is very profound. She says we don't need to seek love because we are love and we don't need to seek peace because we are peace.
The Bills grabbed a share of the AFC East lead by beating the Jets 27-17.
