Bad, ChatGPT. Bad AI!

If you don't mind getting to Idaho late, head up towards Grand Coulee for some sightseeing and hiking.

I'd definitely suggest staying in Coeur d'Alene, if you can get a place on the riverfront. It's much nicer, IMO, than Spokane.

If you're taking the long way heading up to Hwy 2 via Sedro-Wooley, stop at the LaConner tulip festival and Snow Goose Market for a giant ice cream. This might throw off your schedule significantly, so plan for a stop somewhere in WA rather than the first night in Idaho.

May your death be swift and painless.

Unless it's just kelp. It could also just be kelp.

From the coloring and texture, it's unmistakably a death flake, a type of ocean worm. Those nodules emit a toxin that takes about 3 days to work its way into a body and begin causing immense pain.

You didn't touch it, did you?

In the winter, ski schools need instructors.

Nah. If they aren't civically minded, they ought to go to the back of the line.

I bought a house 6 years ago, and for 5 of those years, I never met anyone other than my immediate neighbors.

Last June I adopted a dog, and now I know everyone. Well, I know their dogs. I still don't know any human's name.

There's that one Fred Meyer that only seems accessible via the highway. If you think of it as a really inconvenient rest area, it kind of makes sense.

I’m not into dicks, but sisters and brothers gets me excited.

As soon as you can, get rid of the run-flats. I-90 on this side of the mountains will destroy them. If you're relying on Costco to replace (because they can't be repaired) them, be aware that they are booked out at least one month, so you'll either be running on a spare for a month or your car will be immobile for a month.

This advice will be jeered, but the best way to avoid blowing out your tires is to stay in the left lane from Ellensburg to Issaquah.

As for snow, just take it easy and you'll be okay. Bring extra water, snacks, and a warm blanket, just in case something does happen.

Gold Bar

If looking for steakhouses in Georgetown, is Morton’s no longer around?

After dinner coffee at Au Pied de Cochon.

Or to get really deep, 1789 just outside of Georgetown campus.

But my info is 20 years old.

No blue ball for Christmas, for him.

“At this time we don’t feel that anybody’s safety is in question,” said Sheriff Davis.

"the guy whose heart this is, probably isn't in great condition."

How remote are you willing to go?

This place in Gold Bar looks great. I'm not sure what I'd do with the barn, but the price is sure right.

nvm, there's nothing currently available in that area.

Asahel Curtis?

Costco is heavily backed up. Appointments aren’t available until after Christmas at the ones I’ve checked.

See if a Les Schwab or Big O Tire can get you snow tires.

I took 600mg ibuprofen and it did nothing for the pain for 3 hours.

And then the next morning? Nothing. Like nothing ever happened.

I hope you feel better soon. The one thing I learned was to give in to the nausea early instead of trying to force myself to get over it.

On Tuesday, I had a massive headache that started around noon and lasted until 2am. I ended up vomiting twice, and on Wednesday morning I felt good as new. I'm not sure what that was all about, but it sucked.

I'm sure they'll get right on that now that he's said to.

WOW

I drove from Leavenworth to Cle Elum a few years back in a major snow storm. I would not recommend it. That was in a CR-V, and I felt like death was around every curve.
