Your from the sensible side of Washington State.....I remember spending 3 days in your area with Joe Love.....We were on a 3 week tour of the west in our old Red Jeep. There was sooooomany bumperstickers stating: Don't Californicate Our State. Also there was a drive on the divide Washington & Oregon along the back side of the Cascades, facilitating the Establishment of "The Left Coast" Washington....and a conservative state Oregon.

What a fun story, and how expensive those pens were! I once took a feather from my little brother's Indian (excuse me, Native) costume around Halloween time, and dipped it in some fountain pen ink to see what it would be like to have written with a pen and quill.

Well Pat we had pens that one dipped into ink .If one could call it ink I think it was a powder mixed with water and made blots as easy as winky. Trouble was spiteful kids would sometimes jab one with a pen. I still have a small black mark like a tattoo on my wrist.
