Thoght I would start a new thread so old one doesn't go on forever. Having another debate watch party if there are any East Bay lurkers, including im- peach cobbler from my (im) peach tree.
It would almost be worth the 600 mile drive just for the peach cobbler. Sausalito, the only town I'd rather live in then Lake Oswego although Mercer Island in the Seattle area comes close. I've also always wanted to spend a weekend at the Fairmont.
Sausalito Mercer Island Lake O....Expensive taste! Were you a beatnic in your day! Remember Dobie Gillis? I’ll take San Diego, Whitefish Mt or Kilua Kona.
I've been to Kilauea on the big island but there was too much smoke and the roads were blocked so we couldn't get a view. Enjoyed the Kona coast but we're ready to try Oahu next. My brother-in-law lived in La Jolla but the weather is pretty much the same all year long. The closest I've been to Whitefish Mountain is Great Falls and that was Boring spelled with a capitol 'B'.
Spent years covering Hawaii and my distributor was in Pearl City. Oahu is busy but a drive around the Island is nice. Pear Harbor and The USS Missouri are worth the visit.
I had a chance to see the Missouri when it was in Astoria but medical problems made it impossible. I think a visit to the Arizona would be intense and moving.
Debate watch party at my house now officially full! Tonight's stage, left to right: Marianne Williamson; Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio; Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.; South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg; Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.; Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.; former Rep. Beto O'Rourke, D-Texas; former Gov. John Hickenlooper, D-Colo.; former Rep. John Delaney, D-Md.; and Gov. Steve Bullock, D-Mont.
Looks like there are only four real contenders. Of course, there's still plenty of time for Biden to stick his loafers in his lips again and open things up a bit.
