    Saw quite a number of Series trucks, either parked or
    driving while in Seattle. First place I've been to
    where I've seen a Series. Actually got passed on the
    Freeway by a red 88 with surgically altered right rear
    side panel. Truck was going 55-60 and having no
    problem with the traffic. Glimpsed a 109 in traffic
    and saw at one other 88 and 109 parked on the street.

    Year around shorts wearing is awfully common in
    Seattle. It wasn't particularly warm though it was
    sunny when we were there. Anyway, saw guys in shorts
    everywhere. More interesting, saw three on the
    streets wearing kilts, full get up with tasseled
    garter and that fancy fanny pack whose name I can't
    think of at the moment. None of these sightings were
    on Broadway, btw. There is also a place called
    'Utilitkilt' that makes Kilts for construction
    workers. They have a big sign on a building in the
    fishing boat harbor area. Thought it was a joke until
    I saw a guy wearing one on a construction site. He
    cheated and had a pair of compression shorts under it,
    though.

    Seattle is definitely an interesting place.

    As far as coffee. Will be planting around our house
    as soon as I finish painting the downstairs.
    Production will be curtailed but should have enought
    to meet the demand from the listees. Unfotunately, it
    will be a couple of years before they'll produce. I'm
    going to be in serious withdrawal as I've developed a
    Jones for my home grown brew.
