That was a good read. I wasn't aware that you were a transplant to the
Pacific Northwest. The east side of the Washington Narrows, where you
live, is not what I think of as Bremerton, but then what does it
matter what I think. Bremerton thinks as it wishes. LOL. Bremerton, to
me, is the entire miserable area west of the Manette Bridge, clear to
3. The waterfront homes are great along the various inlets, but half
of them are abandoned or beat to shit. It's no one's fault, sad
really. What's a town to do when the jobs go away overnight...I read
the history of the downtown area owned by Bremer and the way Olympic
College let it all deteriorate. Very interesting.

Yes, you do live in a beautiful place, and only a handful of human
beings have what you have. To come from the Cold North and find
pleasure here, good on you. Don't tell anyone back home how nice it
is. :)

Have you ever seen that documentary on Channel 9, the one about the
guy who filmed 20 years of himself living alone in that cabin in
Alaska? He had a woman and his mail flown in every so often, along
with staples. He was 50 when he moved there, I believe.

Funny to think War Babies are turning 70. Christ.
