Thanks Tom.......Hope all is well with ya'...........are you still pondering the possibilities of moving to the Emerald City? I've spent quit a bit of time in Seattle, Kirkland, Renton, Bremerton, et al. More for work sakes, (OBS Sections of the B2), in other words, the "Outboard Sections" aka Wings......still the biggest single composite AC piece in the world, created all in ONE Piece........ Prior to that, I spent 6 months, in 2 different trips, to ensure Integration of Rockwell Procedures, Policies, Specs, basically "All Command Media"; required to integrate Rockwell Command Media with Boeings CM; during and prior to Boeings buyout of the Shuttle program, and B1B's.... Did you know Bill Boeing Sold his company, in 1937, due to Congressional charges, Boeing was thriving during the depression, as they were the 1st to fly USPS via Air........a big money maker, which Congress claimed errantly, the Air Mail was a under the table handshake deal. Bill was so bothered by the false complaints and accusations, he got sick of being a Corporate Giant, and retired, without giving the bird back to Congress...... Definitely worth the trip, Ivars On the Sea, is a Historical Seafood Floating Restaurant, downtown by the Wharf, don't visit Seattle without making this stop. If you order Salmon, you get a 14" Platter, and basically half of a small Salmon, which is huge, for a "small" salmon......... Altho' if you like Sunshine, and not misty overcast days, then Seattle is not the place to live, visit yeah,, but live, that's another story. When the sun is out in the early morns, NO ONE GOES TO WORK, they paint their houses, or do work outdoors, which is a rare window, for Sun..... Not hard to see why Seattle, The Emerald City has the highest Suicide rate, tho' I often doubt the overcast gloomy weather is the cause. Like Guns don't kill people, people do, same with Seattles Suicide. Now they've legalized Cannabis, I bet that Suicide Rate drops considerably..... Enjoy it if you can, I wouldn't blink to move to the Land of Rainier, the Puget Sound, and British Columbia, is definitely worth the visit via a Ferry......
