In celebration and needing an excuse, husband had made late afternoon appointment in Coos Bay. Did I wanna go to Bennetti's after?" "Yeah, you drive". The sky was bright blue and clear, very little wind, 62 degrees. Perfect!
Left work at noon, all light hearted and junk. Sat happily in parking lot at NBMC and read my book.
We still had an hour to blow so drove to the car wash near Bennetti's, popped in five bucks and got the buggy scrubbed. I'm sure the tough little spiders who live in the mirror and make me brand new spiders webs were not washed away down the drain. Must not be related to Itsy Bitsy Spider.
Then pulled out,made a left and parked right in front of a local antiques and auction house. We were looking for a small shelf. So schlepped through the place and went up stairs where all the cheap...ah inexpensive goods are kept. Actually found a shelf and paid six bucks for it. Their house dog, Bentley, is a nice golden retriever announced our presence and deigned to let us pat his head.
Departed for Bennetti's, made left, made left, made left, parked, walked to Bennetti's, signed list, we were first and got a table near the fish tank, upstairs windows were already taken. The fish swam over, gazed at us soulfully and drifted away. I had the special, Halibut. Husband had the chicken picatta and decided he does not particularly care for capers. We had dessert. His was chocolate thunder, which consisted of a very nice checkerboard cake thing with like 15 different kinds of chocolate. I had Tiramisu, very nice little Lady Finger cake thing filled with sweet Italian cream in the center. Service was excellent.
We departed Coos Bay about 6:30 pm, drove home in near perfect twilight. The constellation of Orion hung right over head. Like I said, nice and clear. We don't often get a view of the stars, all that fog y'know. Must drive local astronomers nuts.

Don't know if you care anything about Barrow any more, but there is a good article in the Smithsonian Magazine online about the climate change and how it is effecting the natives and life in general in Barrow. Just though I would let you know.
I still have contacts in Barrow, pretty much same-0 same-0. Desiree tells me she is sick of winter. Hmmm, usually snow starts to melt in JUNE. I will aske her to track break up for me. R
