On the web today (Thursday, July 31st)

Sorry for the unexplained hiatus.   Had Car trouble with Car #1.   Took daughter to camp in Idaho driving Car #2.   Car #2 broke down in rural WA (Davenport).   Thank Goodness we were on highway 2, and broke down right as we stopped for lunch, one block away from the only dealership for miles.  Took an extra day to get home, and an extra day to unpack and get Car #1 to the shop.  

By the way, I can highly recommend the Black Bear Motel.  Owner Kim was great!   Rooms are super cute, lovingly decorated with antiques collected by Kim and her husband.
