You ought to get a job promoting Washington tourism! Speaking of our fair state, what do you think about the President settling on Gary Locke as Secretary of Commerce? My reaction was... Gary Locke???

Yes, there is certainly a variety of geography and climate in Washington. I visited some former neighbors who had moved to Wenatchee, where apples are grown -- it was the only time I've seen apples on trees. Nearby in Cashmere was Liberty Orchards where Aplets & Cotlets fruit 'n' nuts confections are produced. I still occasionally order a box of those goodies. I was there in the month of May and was surprised to run into a snowy winter wonderland while driving up Mt. Ranier. Quite a change from the Texas coast where I live.
