Home Again, Home Again, Various

1. According to the snotel machine up on Hurricane Ridge, we don't have much of a snowpack this winter. This probably means that we can get out onto the meadows on the Ridge weeks earlier, like June instead of August; but on the whole, wetter is surely better...

2. The big crane is still working at the ferry landing. At the moment they're working on the pilings under the exit lanes. They'd better hurry up—ferry starts running again in five days.

3. Gotta get down to the water soon. Mouth of the Elwha? Bolt for the Actual Ocean?

4. Had a nice time rummaging around in the Envelope of the Past. San Francisco put on a gorgeous show as to winter sunshine and familiar streets. Saw eleven people from the Ancient Days; some I see on every visit, some not since 1975.

5. Just for the record, I left the desert 18 months ago; and I still get a little bit excited when I see gulls.
