    The animals indicated that I had been away too long. The calico was first, but I forgot to get a picture of her on my lap, and she was feeling so good she didn't want to pose for a picture when I remembered to ask.

    The dog is always jealous when I pet the cats, so then afterwards the cats go over to groom him a little until he gets over it.

    Don't tell my beautiful wife I posted these. The place is a mess because we're packing up to move. She would be pretty p.o.'d if she knew.

    Came past this one within a few mins of it happening, lots of cops were on scene but no Ambulances when I passed it. From what I could see and where debris (broken lights, glass, and bits of dark colored autobody) was located on the roadway... I think that the 2 vehicles got tangled up as one was trying to merge onto I-15 Northbound at that new exit they just recently put in.

    I think about that sometimes. Almost always it is about things I wouldn't have done and people I would have avoided, rather than wishing I'd done more.

    The only thing in the latter category is that I would have gone up to Alaska with my buddy to do some commercial fishing in 1988 instead of staying in Seattle trying to make it work with this Italian girlfriend I had at the time. Looking back on it now, I should have known it was doomed by that point, and you could still make pretty good money fishing in the late '80s. Plus, Alaska. Oh well.

    Are you rolling 82 to 90 or 82 to 12 to I5?
    I do not recomend Mustard Seed. Pay to park too tight and full of folks that service the Costco DC around the corner.
    TA in North Bend Wa. make a reservation.

    Ellensburg? depends on when you get in (may want to check for fires and response status.) Dirt lot Flying J or Love's

    A couple of rest areas and scenic views with truck parking between Yakima and Ellensburg.

    Off 82 you have Gearjammers in Yakima area, but that's real close to the 3 hour mark.

    on 5 To the south you have GeeCee's I5 MM57. dirt lot for Pacific Pride there is also fair game.

    Rest area MM95 typically has space later in the eve.

    Olympia pilot is a mess. Avoid.

    Oh and keep in mind traffic is a mess in the Metro area.

    All the drivers from Cali that should not have received a license moved up there and had kids that drive even worse.
