Hello 3nodding

You near the mall, or elsewhere? I actually liked the area between the mall and Mukilteo, excluding Hwy 99 of course (it's called Evergreen in Everett, isn't it?). I was a graveyard janitor at that mall long long ago. I also lived above a furniture store in downtown Everett, which was a piss-jug-littered shooting gallery: wall-to-wall roaches, and the EMTs never arrived until you smelled the liquefying corpse over the piss jugs and meth smoke and out in the hallway. Tyee Lanes get yuppified yet? It used to be sketchier than the crack house in Seattle I lived in.

Alas, I'm probably one of those guys who will end up in an RV or more likely a camper on a truck, which is how it's kinda playing out all over as wage stagnation persists and real estate speculation thrives, effectively gentrifying the whole freaking country somehow. Well, here on the West Coast it's bad: where I live now, you have to earn $24/hour to live in a studio and eat alright and phone and transportation etc — the cost of living — to amount to the 30% all your gross income, what home economics folk preach. That's not living high on the hog, either, especially when retirement savings and things like home ownership and the kids' college funds are factored in. I lived all over Seattle until 2000. I probably could have stayed in Everett or White Center for a few more years but ... yeah, I'd grown rather weary of White Trash. It's a shame I can't afford to live there anymore, because I love Puget Sound, ALL of it. Well, OK, Bremerton was pretty lame at the time, as were the spooky redneck peninsula coastal hamlets. I lived on Orcas Island for a while when I was a kid, though, and it was the happiest time of my life; if I'd have remained there to grow up through high school, I probably would have grown up to be much more normal and functional, perhaps even better person.

Jesus, sorry that was an essay! cat_sweatdrop

Lucky. That's where I want to end my life, but I'll probably never be able to afford to live there just working part-time, not even in a trailer. They replaced frontiers where people can homestead with homeless shelters and jails.

Skagit? As in Washington state?

Sally?! Oh my dear child!
Oh, how wonderful it is to see you!
I see you've been out there making our world a better place, I'm so proud of you!
Oh, I hope you've been well, despite how tough it's been in Gaia lately!
