washington 69

Very mellow weekend. I did some cat sitting over the weekend I’ve never been too keen with cats only since my allergies react so strongly to its saliva a protein called Fel d 1 and yes I did google this information. According to the sources I’ve found, the protein in a cat’s saliva causes 10% of the population to be allergic. I went on a 5-mile hike along the river in Idaho, I didn’t see a single person on this trail the ideal condition on any outing. I’m not the biggest hiker I like the occasional hike and when I do they tend to be on the extreme side there is a huge community for hiking and I totally am amazed by trails like the PCT, AT, and long distance treks. There has to be a profound enjoyment in suffering doing any sort of activity which strips you of your belongings and comfort of daily life but I’m almost sure that the people doing these hikes have the privilege and this crude way of living is voluntary for them I know it is for me.

Let’s talk about the city of Spokane and on a larger scale the state of Washington I’m only going to speak briefly since I’ve only been here for 3 months. I can say my first 3 months here compared to Utah or any other state has been underwhelming. Ive enjoyed myself and continue to surround myself in the landscape I guess id say it’s only been underwhelming on the social side which is the least profound factor in any of my stays. I’m coming up on a 3 day work week which is great ill be heading to Omak, Washington I believe still working in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest I’m never really told what work we will be doing specifically but the list of tools we need give me a good idea.

I’m planning on creating pages with just stories new ones, old ones, current ones.
