Very cool. There is a similar occurrence here on the east coast -- the S.S. Atlantus -- a World War I concrete ship that wrecked off of the coast of New Jersey.

R and I got duped by the self pay parking in Seattle also! I don’t think those things ever work. We ended up having to wait for the place to open to get our car out.

That’s so cool! I’ve always meant to do that. I guess it’s time to schedule something. As soon as I have a job so I can pay for it, of course.

As for Seattle being geographically challenging, it’s the directionals that kill me…10th W and NE 23rd, etc. I once walked a whole hour in the wrong direction on Capitol Hill because I had the right number, wrong directional.

This is a beautiful story of love and nature. I am a “Mainiac”, raised in Aroostook County and now live in California. I will send this link to a dear friend who attended Smith for a year or two. But do not count on a Mainer, Mainiac, or any other thinking person to agree that gay people have to be “married” to be treated equally. You are messing with a religious conviction. It is wrong to discriminate against anybody. In California, gays have all the rights as married persons. …. same as women have the same rights as men. But my dad used to explain to me that just because I run as fast or faster than my brothers does not mean I can pee across the trail on a bush like the boys. When gays want to have a life union, find a different name for their union, provide them constitutional equality for the rights and responsibilities to that union and enforce strong penalties for violations of those laws. But please stop accusing honest, hard working and hard living people of being anything other than “a bit different than the rest of us. A little more private, a little more reserved, a little more protective of their state and its natural beauty and special history.” Change is not necessarily a move in the right direction. On a side note, last February I visited family in New Brunswick, Canada where I was born. The talk of the village is a family who bought a home in the village and then the husband had a sex change so he is now a she. She always wears make up, a dress and all the accessories. One day, she rented a backhoe and backed through a wall and into a neighbor’s living room when her heel got stuck in the pedals of the backhoe. The town hooted! My aunt chortled when my uncle finished the story, and said “Every damn fool knows you don’t wear high heels on a back hoe.” God Bless America.
