I want to visit Seattle! I’m glad you got to see Walter. And great pics.

Molly - keep on trying to pass off your coffee addiction as mine.

Tom - Amen on the destination vs. getting there. Once I realized how much I just disliked “getting there,” it opened me up to a lot more destinations. Though I’ve written of the red-eye as a means of getting there. I’d rather… (fill in the blank with torturous experience).

Jennica - Nice try on Dick’s drive-in. Though we went to Red Mill, we did discuss Dick’s. The problem is that not only could the burger fail to live up to the In-N-Out taste, but it is difficult to compete with the IN-N-Out mystique. Where else can a place with only 3 menu options (plus fries) be such an empire, and yet have such a cult following based on secret menu (see official “secret” menu codes or even more extensive “secret” menu codes here)

The real question is whether Walter took you to Dick’s Drive In. I know, I know no comparison to In-n-Out, but my grandfather helped start it back in the day, so I have to show it some love.

I know what you mean about hating the traveling part–I like destinations but not getting there.

I love Seattle in July and August. You can take it the rest of the year. Though given what’s been going on here in the Rockies for the past two months I guess people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones :^)

I’m glad you liked my city! I love all the water too (roller blading around Greenlake is the best), but don’t dog the coffee shops. You know you secretly loved them…
