Seattle-The Flannel Manner

Give me you pale, your pasty and your King-Crab-Salmon-lacking 
masses-at Princess Cruises.

After Monday and Tuesday, all that's left in the Pacific Northwest  is W T F, eh? From the excessively hot weather in NYC, I saw a heat wave, and now I am waving back, here in the cool crispy air.Clothes are vintage, bohemian, and flannel hipster. 
Although, I have embraced my baldness without compromise, The Drudge Rule (Bald men who constantly wear hats to hide baldness) is in effect. I lost my Marmot Precip(itation)  hat in transit- Now more tan lines but  Now I'm  gonna rust! until I get to a store.  Male Pattern Madness!
Looking forward to a great season up here in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, with or without wearing a baseball cap, although I seldom took it off in  the  2011 season:

Pacific Northwest-I Have Reservations

Doing some eco-tourism in Washington State and meeting people that work for Boeing, Microsoft, Amazon ,those bio tech firms and of course Starbucks.But I would have really liked to talk story with Chief Seattle.Here is his take on real estate. It is not just location, location, location:"Every part of this earth is sacred to my people. Every shining pine needle, every sandy shore, every mist in the dark woods, every meadow, every humming insect. All are holy in the memory and experience of my people." 

"Will you teach your children what we have taught our children? That the earth is our mother? What befalls the earth befalls all the sons of the earth. This we know: the earth does not belong to us but man to the earth.
All things are connected like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself"
