car wash
so here's the thing. back in kansas city, you tried to get a car wash when you knew it was going to be "non-wet" for a good few days. failing that, if you went to Waterway, you would get a "rain check" so if it rained, you could get a re-wash.
here in the PNW, you wash your car rain or shine just to get all the crap off of your car. mud, salt, whatever. and i can't tell you the number of times i've driven out of the carwash and it was raining.
it is what it is. but i see the ocean and the mountains EVERY DAY.

An excellent day for Mother Nature
Leaving my house to go on appointments, I spotted two bald eagles soaring overhead.
It was so clear today that at one point in my drive back from Joint Base Lewis McChord, I could see both Mt. Rainier and Mt. St. Helens. This beautiful photo is courtesy of Kris Fricke, looking north from Mt. St. Helens.
Driving on Ruston Way, continuing homewards, I could also see Mt. Baker to the northeast
and the Olympics
Bring it ON, Mother Nature. It's your time.
Washington Highway Signs
are totally like this. I swear I've never seen such crappy directional signage in my life.
