Stormy’s Diary - August 18, 1950

Today we went to Centralia.  On the way we stopped in Olympia.  I went in the Capitol with Carol and Rich.  I slid down a runway with Carol. It was fun.

I didn’t know they allowed dogs in the Capitol.  They probably don’t anymore.  Not after Stormy slid down the runway.

Stormy’s Diary - August 15, 1950

April 1
Today everyone kept leaving the house.  At 3:45 Mother an Carol left for Carols dance.  At 4:15 Richard left to play basketball.  At night Richard went to a movie.  He got home at 11:30.
- Stormy

Ooooh!  11:30 is a little late to be coming home, Richard!  Geez, what’s Stormy doing anyway, sitting by the door with a watch all day?  Also, this is a rare instance where Stormy felt the need to record the actual date—April 1st.

Stormy’s Diary - August 14, 1950

At night when Richard came home from Scout meeting he put his coat collar up and came towards the porch.  I barked at him.  Afterwards Dad rassled me and Richard. It was fun.

Stormy’s Diary - August 12, 1950

Today I had a bath because I had rat smell all over me.  There was a head-on collision by our house.  A bus and a car collided.  I had to stay inside the house, but looked out the window.
- Stormy

This might be the most eventful day yet!  Stormy does not report on any injuries or fatalities in the crash.

Stormy’s Diary - August 11, 1950

Today Hank, Taffey, and Guppie, and I chewed on a dead rat in Watts lawn.  I got a bad stink on me.
- Stormy

Nasty!  Stormy is so matter-of-fact about things.  “I got a bad stink on me.” Tune in tomorrow for the exciting conclusion.

Attaboy, Stormy.  You go with Carol and Nancy.  They’re more fun than Richard anyway.
