I drove up to Snoqualmie Pass and talked to Pat at the Great Western up there on the top of the mountain about a possible job. If it had been five years ago I would have been happy to help them out and join the team. There were too many obstacles seen and unseen to work as a cook there. I believe my future lies more in the valley (or at least the plateau).

Jasper the cat has a bladder infection so he is now on antibiotics and an opiate based pain medication. I'll add a picture of Jasperlater.
I'm headed into the city to follow up on a housing lead. I went to Pike Place market to pick up something Seattle-like an a clerk said she would inquire to someone she knows about apartments in Issaquah.
