Where some of the electricity came from that helped build our tractors. I went to the Credit Union in Grand Coulee today to do some banking. Until several weeks ago it was named the Coulee Dam Credit Union. When I walked in, first time at that branch, I noticed it was a huge office with a view dominated by a 12 million cubic yard mass of concrete just across the street. The Dam. Pretty impressive to say the least. The building was absolutely quiet. So as the teller was cashing my check I said you need some music in here. How about some Woody Guthrie? She gave me a blank stare and says, never heard of him. I replied biggest thing built by man, Grand Coulee Dam. She looked at me and answered never heard it. I walked out wondering.... Gary
 
You shoulda bought something and give her partial change and a mix of bills and watch her try to figure out the change.
 
We watched the laser light show on the front of dam one summer evening years ago. I think they said there was enough concrete in that mass-gravity dam to pour a sidewalk around the circumference of the Earth. When I used to travel alot for work, I would watch for it out the airplane window. About 35 minutes from there to Portland (PDX).
 
I couldn't deposit a check with both my wife and my name on it at the local branch CU because the wife is in Seattle for several weeks and isn't here to sign it. The local CU also couldn't print a ck withdrawal because their printer hasn't been working the last week and won't be fixed for another week. That' why I went to Coulee Dam. The clerk there deposited the check without my or my wife's signature. Go figure. Gary
