There was some cloud action in the sky in the noon time frame, hence a slightly less distinct shadow, than when the light of the sun falls to earth unfiltered by vaporized water.
Today I did not take the trail that would have taken me past the homeless camp I discovered last night. But I did sneak a peak to see if the residents were "home." The camp appeared to be vacant.
I heard from Elsie Hotpepper this morning. She claims no memory of last night's saloon hopping. I told Elsie there will be absolutely no saloon hopping tonight. I will be enjoying myself a nice relaxing pot of Kava tea.
I had myself some good hunting luck at Town Talk today. Real good red peppers, 5 for a $1. And 2 pound containers of cherry tomatoes for a buck. Also got a bag of whole wheat hamburger buns. And something called Rinded Red Leicester cheese.
The Rinded Red Leicester cheese is nice and sharp. It went well with the fish tacos I made for lunch.
I think it is all the cheese I get from Town Talk that is responsible for my unsightly weight gain, which had the consequence of motivating me to start my DurangObestity Blog to deal with my over eating issues.
The Swinomish Channel is a man enhanced waterway that connects Skagit Bay with Padilla Bay.
La Conner has a population of 670.
Yesterday when I was looking at La Conner it reminded me of Fort Worth. La Conner is situated on a prominent water feature. Fort Worth is in the midst of spending $1 billion so it can have a water feature. I don't remember how much La Conner's Rainbow Bridge cost. I know no one ever talked about it being a signature bridge, like what Fort Worth was going to build to cross its new, unneeded flood diversion channel, but which lost their "signature" status when they could no longer be afforded after J.D. Granger spent too much money on junkets, parties, inner tube happy hours and the world's premiere wake boarding lake.
Float planes land on the Swinomish Channel. I don't know if float planes will be landing on Fort Worth's unneeded flood diversion channel.
If Fort Worth's Trinity River Vision Boondoggle manages to transform Fort Worth as impressively as La Conner was able to transform itself, well that will be a mighty impressive transformation.
But, let's be realistic, do you really think there is even the remotest ice cube's chance in hell that any of Fort Worth's now non-signature bridges over that un-needed flood diversion channel are going to look even remotely as cool as little La Conner's Rainbow Bridge across its very needed channel?

What a great shopping day at Town Talk. We need to get by there next week.
cd0103, Saturday is my favorite Town Talk day. I think today was the busiest I've seen it, likely due to that upcoming Turkey Day. Couldn't believe all the red peppers for only 20 cents each. There was an older couple in the cooler being real cute, picking out oranges. They helped me with my red pepper bag. And have you ever seen more efficient checkers than Town Talk's?
