I just returned from a weekend ‘vacation’ and it makes me wonder. What’s your normal summer holiday look like? Do you even taken one? If you do, do you go somewhere new every year? Same place? This year American Airlines misplaced my wife’s suitcase, which led us to make a new rule for traveling: medicines go in our carry on, not in the luggage.

We don’t have a “normal” summer holiday. Last year we went to Mexico and saw Chichen Itza and swam in cenotes. This year we went to Seattle and saw My Chemical Romance and poked around the docks. We try to shake it up and do something that sounds fun.
Sounds like a fun way to do it.
When you say “docks”, do you mean the Waterfront? And if so, did you go into Ye Old Curiosity Shop? And if so, did you see my buddy, Sylvester?
Yes, the Waterfront. I don’t think we made it into Ye Old Curiosity Shop but it sounds like something that would have been fun.
I used to go there with my grandfather when I was a little kid. It used to be located further down the waterfront, but the pier was condemned, and they had to move. The original building was about 2 1/2 times the size of the new one. They had two headed cows and two headed snakes and much more. Including Sylvester. The most perfectly preserved mummy in the world. He was from the old west and had been shot in the stomach and left for dead in the desert. You could see inside the bullet hole, and his flesh was stained with his blood! He’s still there.
Wow. Now I’m really pissed that I missed it. That sounds right up my alley. We’ve got stuff like that in New Mexico, but you have to travel all over the damned state to see it.
When I travel, I have two sets of meds. One in my carry on, and one in my checked bag.
I try to go camping every year at Staircase Campground in the Olympic Mountains. It is fuck off beautiful. I always drop acid and listen to the river, the birds, and the bugs.
I didn’t get as far up as Staircase but I did a trip through the Olympic national forest a while back, some of the trees in there are quite impressive.
