Spoiled?

Our floors are sometimes paved with dog toys and our pooch is more than happy to surround himself with them. He loves Christmas and joyously waits as his presents are unwrapped and handed to him (we don’t encourage doggy destruction). This bin is not far from a door that leads to our garage. When we arrive home our pup grabs the moment’s favorite to greet us with a toy-filled mouth, wagging furiously.

Yep. Need I say more?

Sequim Valley Airport

I’ve mentioned before that there is a lot of private aviation in this region. Today you get a tour of the Sequim Valley Airport.

It’s nothing fancy, but it’s better than some. It’s paved and there are lights on either side. In Sequim there are a couple of small, private landing strips that aren’t much more than large, well groomed lawns.

San Francisco International Airport, my basis of comparison, was rebuilt and expanded seemingly my entire adult life. There was always some new terminal opening, or an old one being renovated. I think they’ve stayed away from that here. The sign at the end of the building above says “Airport Office.” I’m betting that the waiting room is inside whatever vehicle you drive there.

Crab season

I heard someone recently pose the question, “What would you eat if you could choose your last meal?” I decided not to overthink it. Crab. Steamed and cracked. If there were time to get fancy I’d throw in old fashioned San Francisco sourdough bread and a big Caesar salad. This, for me, is a perfect Happy Meal.

Above is a commercial operation in Port Townsend, New Day Fisheries. Many people around here go crabbing and harvest crabs for themselves.
