Summer

Keep trying to write, and then running out of steam.  In the meantime, some pictures of my summer. Part I: Mt. Rainier and the North Cascades. On Mt. Rainier it was cool, and cloudy with expected thunder storms (and relief from the smoke and heat.)  In the N. Cascades, the smoke was at hazard level, and it was around 90 degrees F.

December 5, 2009

And behind the Advent Calendar Window for December 5, 2009 we find...a cream puff from beard papa's fresh and natural cream puffs (http://www.muginohousa.com/index.php). There is a choice between green tea, chocolate or vanilla filling for the puffs, I was feeling basic and had the vanilla, though I'll probably try the green tea at some future point.

They fill the cream puffs to order. The store I went to was at the Uwajimaya shopping center in the Seattle's International District. It's near the terminal southern stop of the bus tunnel, and so on the light rail run as well.
