Back home finally
Spent three hours in Powell's (main store and technology annex) and about $250.
Picked up a nice picture-book on Timberline Lodge featuring some of the iron work, a couple of science books (geology and a new history of Physics from 1938 through the big earth shattering Ka-Boom), a couple books on metalwork (mostly re-prints of historical texts -- these books actually publish the chemical formulas and the chemistry behind the reactions instead of just being told to buy a bottle of Fubar's Solution and apply it at 170�F for three minutes) and the book: "
Plastics - A Toxic Love Story" -- I was familiar with the author and she is a good writer.
It was also fun in that Anne Rice has a bunch of books from her personal library there for sale -- some rare and some not so much. Some great memorabilia if one had the money.
Had dinner in Seattle's
Chinatown International District and a few beers at a local restaurant. Back home and heading out to the DaveCave(tm) to check email and then off to a somewhat early bedtime.
A minor milestone post tomorrow...
