Love gardening, too! Bugs, too! Can't kill 'em with few exceptions. Sometimes conflicts with the gardening thing.
Another story for another thread.
Anyway, I was born in Seattle area, and still love it (not quite as much as Boise!)
Mimi and others, please keep working to keep, and improve my birthplace as a place that loves and respects all people, and bicycles!
Ok, I'm selfish.
I want to vacation there and enjoy my stay!
