'Human Resourses, Military Intellegence, business ethics, political fairness' any other oxymoronic statements?Okay, you asked for it...... "common courtesy".
Courtesy is to be treated in the manner of the royal courts.... one place you would NEVER find a commoner. |

Mt. Vernon, WASH. | Even though I grew up in the Seattle area, and lived most of my life around here, I believe I'd rather drink sump scrapings than STARGAKS crappy, burned smelling, bitter coffee!
I've always hoped that some day we'd get big enough to have a major league Baseball and Football team.............we do!?!..........OH, you mean the Seadisappontments and Moronors are supposed to be top drawer teams!?! I still prefer Unlimited Hydroplane Racing.
The one good thing that Howie Shultz, owner of STARGAKS did do was run the NotsoSupersonics into the ground and got them sold to Oklahoma City so if you live there, that will explain the stench of overpaid cadavers that now can be detected on the breezes around town.(sort of like unloading the Dodge with the bad tranny)
What makes the area so special is in 2 hours you can go East and be in the desert, go West and be @ the Pacific Ocean, go South and be on the Columbia River or Portland Ore.for a wide variety of very fine micro brews, go North and be in another country (C eh N eh D eh), go Southeast and be @ Mt. St. Helens and just how bad a$$ed mother nature can get. |

Rancho Cucamonga, CA | Hey, Seahawks did make the finals (with a losing record) and beat the Saints.
Wasington is just like SoCal. Pacific to the west, desert to the east, mt. Whitney north and a different country to the south. We call them Southern Canadians. |

Mt. Vernon, WASH. | Yeah, I lived in Noo Awlunz when people would leave their pair of season tickets to the 'Aint's' on the dash of their car on Canal St. and come back to find another pair of tickets had been placed on the dash-back when they painted the seat backs @ the 'SuperDome' different colors so the TV audience wouldn't see that most of the seats were empty, and those who were there were wearing paper sacks over their heads.
The all time WORST concert I ever went to was the Grand Opening of the big cement pipe SuperDome, the Almans Bros,. played and it was all overlapping hollow echoes. I did watch a few College football games in there and the entire field fit between your knees up in the seats above the pigeon line. |

Bay of Gigs, WA | A "C" student and an "A" student both get their PHD's. What do you call the "C" student? Doctor, that's what. So as far as the Heehawks go, I'd rather have them back into the playoffs than not get there at all. It's not that they were so bad (well, okay, they were), it's about how miserable the rest of the NFC West was. Y'know, I seriously considered putting a hundred bucks on'em to win the Super Bowl. Then I could retire. I heard today they're a hundred to one to win it next year. Betcha it can hit 300:1 three games in...Maybe I'll bet then. Still, they had some good years, got screwed in Super Bowl XL by the refs. And the Mariners won 116 games a few years back. 'Course, I had a 28 inch waist once too.
I agree about the coffee, though. 4 bucks for a cup o' joe? Gimme a break. Coffee is a tool. Folgers Crystals all the way, baby! |

Rancho Cucamonga, CA | I have 6-2/3 years till retirement and would like to move up to Seattle/Tacoma area. How often does the riding get 'rained out'? I'm sure you don't put your 'life on the line' when you cross the border to go riding like I do. |

Mt. Vernon, WASH. | Nozzledog,
We don't have near the amount of nice days in a row you're used to (I 'lived' in Lancaster 40 years ago while working @ Lockweed) but average about 55 nice enough to ride days during the Winter. The East side has many more warm days than the wet side, but also can have in places, over 7 feet of snow in the Winter. Spokane broke a 60+ year snow record this late Fall/early Winter. If I could have afforded it, I'd have moved to New Mexico or Nevada, but too far to do it by myself-Probably the nicest area to settle in would be on the Oregon Coast near Lincoln City, pretty even temps year round and big enough without being 'the big city', plus you are already on 101. |

Rancho Cucamonga, CA | I have an Uncle that lives in Portland, I like that area as well. I was thinking that when I retire, I could still work a little at Bingo-Bongo-Boeingo (got some connections with the ARFF guys).
A good Highschool for my daughter is a must as well. |
