The guy’s who ran the dot com company Govworks may have had a personality clash but damn they had passion. They got their team cranking in the mornings with a chant yelled out over a sound sea of clapping: “What are we gonna do? Rock ‘em! When are we gonna do it? Every day! How are we [...]

I’m throwing the US, their monkey president, their dollar, their media and a pair of three quarter pants into the mixer to make some rant salad!    Do you know what Blackwater is? Welcome to America, “land of the free, home of the brave,” the singer at last nights Seattle Mariners baseball game belted out [...]

Okay who likes Fire? Well sit tight, I’ll get to that soon….On Friday Aunty Chris, Trepp and I went to Whidbey Island (thanks Jay for letting us stay at your bach!). The island roads around here are hidden in forestsof trees with long driveways shooting off towards the coast every now and then. Quite a lot [...]

I got in a UPS mail van! I had to ask a few drivers, some said that it would be too much of a liability. I got chatting with a security guard outside a federal building in Seattle and he started pointing out all the mail guys, then I ran across the road telling them [...]

If you like spectacular city waterfronts and don’t mind chilly weather then you must visit Seattle, it’s the best place I’ve seen. The space needle gives the city a real Jetsons feel and the city seems like Auckland on steroids (to use my friend Jane’s quote) with a spalsh of Wellington thrown in by means of [...]

I made it! The flight went quickly. Once I dropped that sleeping pill all I did was sleep and occasionally wake up to get water, it was a bumpy ride! San Francisco is a neat city, I found the people really interesting. Just looking at them while walking the streets, there certainly are some random [...]
