Stack 'em high

Stacked crates at Norpac Cannery in Stayton Oregon

A big part of Stayton is the Norpac Cannery on Washington St. If I grasp the concept correctly, a cannery is where various things of the food variety get packed into various cans. Those cans are then sent to various stores where various people buy the various things packed into various cans. But I could be wrong.

My family has a fairly extensive cannery-related history going back over seventy years, so you'd think I'd know more about the process. My grandfather ran a cannery for many years, and various other family members worked in them at various times. My parents ran a farm sometime before I was born, and were members of the co-op at the cannery.

Anyway, the crates above were stacked outside the cannery. I thought they were nifty.

Talking about food and supermarkets.
We once had a comedian who said that whenever he walked through the supermarket all he could think was: and all this has still to become poop.
