By the way, I worked on pollution control in pulp mills for a period of time, I am familiar with that smell! I had to keep my clothes in the garden shed after my return from visiting a mill!

I suppose it's that way most places if you dig deep enough. A great combination of past and present.

Seems so out of place for what sounds like a fabulous city. I started watching a documentary series on New York where it talked about how they swindled Manhattan away from the tribes who hunted and fished it; seems like a variation on a theme.

My grandson knows about the aquarium from neighbors here in Kirkland. So word is we are going down this summer. I will make certain my scooter battery is fully charged.
