And stopped at the Oregon Coast on the way back down. Nice to be out of the smoky skies we’ve had here. The most striking thing was to see a city where the economy continues to boom (think Microsoft and Boeing). Real Estate hasn’t really crashed there. The restaurants are all busy. It has a very different mood than home. Good to be back though. Erin took care of business here while I was away, and wanted me to replace my latest post about fleas with something else. Anything else. Well here’s a Seattle shot.
