Lopez Island




I lucked out at Neil's Mall, more commonly refered to as just "the dump" (technically a transfer station where folks bring household garbage which is then dumped off-island). I had gotten a decent mountain bike there Sunday, but the rear wheel rim had been torn. I found a steel wheel Wednesday, but it turned out to be woefully out of round. So today I got a whole Huffy mountain bike that I can ride, although shifting seems somewhat of a problem. One thing at a time. The "dump" has a large shed open on one side with a sign that says, "You have two choices: take it or leave it." I do both. Got two wine glasses since I forgot to bring my special stainless steel boat goblets. Also got a coffee maker for Molly to replace her antique regurgitator.


Spinkled a little. Promise of sun tomorrow. I suspect there's a little more of the nasties up here that further south. It's those Canadians' fault.
