Bars? Nah...I did all my drinking at the C-Lou's. Much better atmosphere; it's hard to beat sittin' in Jon's garage, admiring two fine C-Dory's in the driveway, while listening to 70's music on his 8-track...
Actually, I just realized why I've had it so good up there. With Nurse Ratchet escorting me everywhere, the locals were afraid to be mean to me...

Bill,
I'll drink to that! Jon and Cynthia are wonderful hosts.
And we old Pt. Angeles folks understand what all the big CA money does for us -- and guess I qualify as an OLD Pt. Angeles guy -- my great granddad (civil war vet), great grandmother, grandmother, grandfather, mother and dad are buried in the vicinity. Golly gee - I even graduated from Sequim Hi and lived at Carlsborg. (And sure wish I now owned that 30+ acres). My dad built our house on Albert (Cynthia & Jon) Street almost a hundred years ago!
Dusty (wishin' he was fishin' in PA)

Now let's get the record all straight. I vividly recall that Dusty is the 'True Native' of Port Angeles. Heck, he was born here & grew up here until he became a career Naval Officer. Then as un adult, he even went as far as to have a fabulous home built on the bluff overlooking the Straits just on the west side of town.
I spent 3 summers here in the late 70's working at Lake Crescent & for the Park Service. I permanently moved here in March of 1980 after graduating from college in MN. That doesn't quite make me a native, but I've spent all of my adult life here. Plus - I know all the inside scoop on the locals & can navigate all the back roads around here.
No wonder DaNag feels comfy here - he's got a couch with his name on it, his favorite store (Swain's), tour-guides, & unlimited suds! It used to be that folks from CA stuck out like a sore thumb. Local attitude is much less harsh today. But Bill still needs local "body-guards" with him if he knows what's good for him! Cynthia |
