"just" a cat.
A home without a cat -- and a well-fed, well-petted and properly revered cat -- may be a perfect home, perhaps, but how can it prove title?

not "just' a cat...only a cat...wait that's still not right...alright we are graced by the presence of a cat.

Yes, much of eastern WA l has a problem with inversions in winter https://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-ddwinter-murk-of-eastern-washington.html . This is exacerbated by the fact that wood-burning is widespread (despite the fact that we have the cheapest electricity in the country), while adherence to burn bans is not.

Much better. Though....that might be a fur-covered walrus, not a cat

It's definitely happening in North Bend. Check redfin sold homes for the past 3 mons. E.g. 906 NE 4th listed 1.1M sold for 1.41M. The worst part is a lot of these newer John Day homes are poorly built cookie cutter homes with tiny yard, zero lot line etc. Toll Bros aren't much better, they're asking 1.6M for the same 3 bed home that was 720k this time last year.

Even farther back than that -- one of the reasons that the Nelson area welcomed Vietnam era draft dodgers was that the area has a siginficant russian emmigrant that had migrated to the area early in the 20th century to avoid goverment (russian and canadian) oppression. These russian emmigrants also had practices of drinking hemp tea. So hippy peaceniks from the usa found Nelson to have "good vibes". This was related to me by someone I hired to shuttle my car around Slocan Lake in preparation for an end to end canoe trip. |
While we’re at it, an area map of Slocan:

I just returned from a trip to Lake Superior. I wanted to check it out as I am tired of smoky summers. I'm happy with what I saw. The town has really spruced up since I last was there.
Locals are complaining about housing costs going up. If prices don't increase more, it is a quite reasonable place, but with ticks. .I hate ticks There was also a tornado warning while I was camped and had to make a run for the restroom to shelter in. No tornado, but very nasty winds and a downpour with a lot of lightning.
I have all winter to ponder such a move.
What's especially fun about sock puppets is that you can make each one unique and individual, so that they each have special characters. And they don't have to be human––animals and aliens are great possibilities

I grew up in Northern Michigan and had grandparents in the central UP. Definitely saw some ticks near Iron Mountain Did you have a chance to drive across the Mackinac Bridge?
It's a nice enough place. No Thai restaurants for hundreds of miles though.

Nope. I went to check out the Wisconsin part of the UP. I lived there a couple of years 16 years ago and liked it but i HATED THE TICKS. I'd be driving back from the woods and feel them on my neck. If I had to walk through tall grass, the ticks would be all over my pants legs and I'd find more when I got home. Lyme disease is a reality. I think ticks might be why there are huge, mowed lawns all over the place.
There was a hot, muggy couple of weeks in the summer, but that can be survived by a soak in a Great Lake. That's what I did.
Winter was great. The tourists were gone, there was a X country ski area nearby, and even a little downhill area.
I did miss seeing mountains, but what with the summer smoke here in Warshington, we don't see even the hills across the valley.
"The Meth" appears to have arrived. It wasn't a problem when I lived there before, but the local population had voted to build a large jail/drug treatment facility because they expected it to arrive. I was amazed that they were thinking ahead. A grizzled, Finlander logger told me "We got to treat them while they are in jail or it does no good." That was in 2005.
On my recent trip, I still saw groups of grade school aged kids, riding bicycles around town, no adult supervision, and ....no helmets I consider that a good thing.
More importantly, even in Covid times, the bike shop has group rides every week. My Omak bicycling friend died so I must brave the diesel pickup boys on my own. It kind of wrecks the fun.
