++ WE'VE BEEN BOMBED. and not just normally bombed. 'drity bombed'. and i'm not talking about who number two works for. and it doesn't have a good view either. seattle is suppossed to be going through this huge exercise, "the largest, most extensive simulation ever" and yet it hasn't interrupted anything i've done today. thats too bad, because i really didn't feel like doing any work today. i saw some of the pictures and its actually pretty awesome how realistic they made the scene of the bomb. overturned buses. real raging fires. debris everywhere. it looked almost as good as the real thing.

leavenworth this past weekend. wow, that city is something. not great. kind of funny. very kitsch. big tourist trap. and yet there's something about it which makes you like it. and then you blink. its one of those places where you go for a day or a weekend, but you definately don't live there. well at least i don't live there. or ever will. but icicle creek/canyon is there and the wenatchee river are there and its georgeous. so is a bunch of rock climbing, which we did for the weekend. except its mostly trad/free climbing and i'm too much of a wus to do that, so instead i just do sport climbs and bouldering, of which there isn't much in leavenworth, so we did a lot of hiking with a lot of gear to make ourselves look like we know what we are doing when in reality we really don't. ever. ++
