bye for awhile- off to Canadian waters
I'll try to check in when I can find a local library here and there. I'm heading from Seattle this afternoon to La Conner, then up to Canada- the Gulf Islands and Desolation Sound. Long boat trip! I'm taking a whole month off work. Can't believe it!

I'll miss seeing baseball games, especially My Mariners.

I hope everyone at DU has a marvelous August.

3. Well, that's the ONLY thing we have in common
I'm a federal worker too, but it sure took me longer than it did him to collect enough vacation time to take a month off...

At least I won't have to watch TV clips of him at his pig ranch. Blech!

later...

8. BC will be pleased to see you ... can't say the same about Dubya!

Especially with the softwood lumber thing ... and the beef ban. The provinces with neo-conservative governments that used to praise the Shrub to the skies have been hit hardest, too ...

And since when has Bush spent as much as a dime of his own money in Canada? One more reason why we appreciate you deciding to spend your hard-earned dough up here ... (remember, for you, one dollar is $1.30!)

Have fun! Enjoy Saltspring/Saturna/Galiano, etc.!

4. Thanks!
I'm hoping for calm waters and little or news about the Bush empire.

6. Bon Voyage!
and I hope you forget about EVERYTHING the moment you step on the boat...(well at least until you get back)

:)

7. In La Conner today
I'm in the local library. What a neat town. I watched last night's White Sox-Mariners game in a local tavern. Oh my. What are we going to do with Freddy?

The weather is still nice, but not as hot as last week. I did my chart work and navigation this morning and we leave tomorrow at 7 am for Canada. Rocky the cat is adjusting nicely.

Bye for now!
