VIDEO: Condit Dam Removal in Washington
The Condit Dam held back the White Salmon River in Washington for 98 years. Last week a hole was blasted in the base of the 125-foot high dam, freeing the reservoir behind it.
The lake took less than 2 hours to drain, carrying an incredible amount of sediment and debris downstream to the Columbia. Now, a more gradual process begins–the erosion of millions of cubic yards of trapped silt, the return of threatened salmon and ultimately the complete removal of Condit Dam.

JOKE: This couple meets in a bar
This couple meets in a bar, really hit it off and goes back to her place to have wild, passionate sex. After they have finished he lies back with a smug look on his face, "I guess that was just about the best sex you have ever had," he says.
"What makes you say that?" asks the woman.
"Well, every time we did it, I couldn't help notice how it made your toes curl," he explains.
"Oh," says the woman, "that was just because most men wait to take off my pantyhose first."

JOKE: The Nordakota Cow
Ole is a farmer in Minnesota. He is in need of a new milk cow and hears about a nice one for sale over in Nordakota (that would be North Dakota for you non-Scandahoovians out there). He drives to Nordakota, finds the farm and looks at the cow. He reaches under to see if the cow gives milk. When he grabs a teat and pulls....the cow farts. Surprised, Ole looks at the farmer who's selling the cow, then reaches under to try again. He grabs another teat, pulls, and the cow farts again. Milk does come out however, so after some discussion with the cow's current owner, Ole decides to buy the cow. When he gets back to Minnesota , he calls over his neighbor, Sven, and says, "Hey, Sven, come and look at dis ere new cow I yust bought. Pull her teat, and see vat happens." Sven reaches under, pulls the teat...the cow farts... Sven looks at Ole and says, "You bought dis here cow over in Nordakota, didn't yah?" Ole is very surprised since he hadn't told Sven about his trip... replies, "Yah, dats right. But how did yah know?" Sven says, "My wife is from Nordakota."
