Report from Arlington

At Arlington today, the following rah ilk were spotted, foraging amongst the
dry grass and halter tops:

Ron "the Red" Waantaja was seated in a custom 3" high lawn chair emblazoned
with a Flybaby logo - under Moonraker's wing. He seemed kind of low.

John Ousterhout, having spent the night with John Ammeter, showed up a bit
late this morning. When asked if he had been treated to more than a few
glasses of "Arrogant ******* Ale" replied, "I'm not sure".

Robert "O-Ring" Seals was his usual gentlemanly self, smiling and saying a
few words to all his many friends. I didn't have the heart to tell him about
his fly.

and . . . just to be honest . . .

Rich S. wore long pants today trying to conceal the fact that he had broken
out with heat rash from being up there on Wednesday.

I didn't take any pictures today. The only ones I took Wednesday were to
show how the weather was. You can see them at:

Well, I'll be damned. Every one of them sympathetic characters, likeable,
altruistic, and of good repute.

I thought it was Wantaaja, however.

Are there no scoundrels there? Where's Mickey Via?

Hell, I found the source of those things, the very bloomin' origin, and they
are reasonably priced too.

Plus, I also found out how to spell Wanttaja.

Sorry, though. I know you want my hitek Hartwell latches, but you can't
have them.

Hey.
No *GREEN* anywhere.

BWB said it never stopped raining in the 3 years he spent up there.

Maybe it just rained on him. :-) This was the driest I have seen it there.
All the grass was brown instead of nice green.

What with Boeing moving corporate hq to Chicago, and their production to the
Van Grunsven "quick build" plant in Malaysia, we can no longer afford to
air-condition Washington State.

The entire financial climate has undergone drastic changes as well. A new
five cent/gallon gas tax is being levied to provide meals on wheels for
those commuters who have been gridlocked on the roads for sometimes days at
a time.

The cost of saving the environment is steadily climbing. Low cost
hydroelectric power is but a memory, as we are forced to release all of the
spring melt water from the dams to insure the salmon will survive. The pols
and greeners have failed to notice that there are so many salmon nowadays
the commercial fisherfolk are sometimes giving them away on the dock.

Yes, Washington is still a lousy choice for those looking for a place to
find a new residence. Unless you are flying a small aircraft, don't even
bother to visit. If you will stay away, we'll even send you some
complimentary latches. In most cases. )

Jeez Rich I remember days like that when I grew up in the northwest.
That picture that shows Renier is beautiful. I am flooded with
nostalgia.

The air was indeed clear as a bell that morning. The mountain in the pic
http://www.harbornet.com/folks/shankland/awo3.jpg is actually quite a ways
North of Mt. Rainier. I believe that one is known as Three Fingers (el.
6880') and is due East of Arlington.
