This is an example of a picture that I had in all my zillion files which I had disregarded. I discovered it during out madcap collection of Danny pictures for a slideshow for the wedding. I wondered, why don't we go more often? There's actually a lot of reasons, too far away, too much interference. It doesn't speak to me usually but this picture does.
If you look, you can identify the bridge that links the Island to, to, to, it's not really the 'mainland'. Northwest Washignton geography is so confusing. You connect to what could be called the lower Kitsap peninsula north of Shelton. No, maybe the lower Olympic peninsual, I dunno. You can drive to Tacoma, cross the Narrows bridge and kind of screw around through those little places and come from the north. Usually we just stay on I5, all the way to Olympia, go around the South Sound and up to Shelton from the south. Confused, yeah, me too.
Even after all this time, earlier this month we passed our 35th anniversary of living in Western Washington. It was June 1, the day that the Sonics won the NBA title. How do I know? We had a U-haul truck, Dennis was driving that, Charl and I were following in the car. Dennis kept getting off the freeway, getting out and walking around the truck. Why was he doing that. On the third time, I got it. People were driving around honking their horns to celebrate the championship. He didn't have a car radio so he thought they were honking at him.
I still get confused about the geography.
Danny has some quiet time on the beach; hope he enjoyed it.
