I can’t Believe

…we’re already nearing the holiday season. It’s already impacting us. We couldn’t do the Yearbook shoot this past weekend because of logistical issues with RTC over their tree and the number of volunteers they wanted us to have on hand for such a small shoot. We will find a new location and resume as soon as the weather improves. It likely won’t be at RTC, so stay tuned.

I don’t know if you saw it, but the AAT is petitioning for a black plate to assist the museum. Here is a link to sign the petition. The profits from the plate go straight to the museum so it’s a good cause, and the plate is that black plate so many wanted.

I’ve already commented about the font choice, so no need to blast me. You don’t need to snog with it. I tried to get the plate, “SAMPLE” and it’s a prohibited name. What a great vanity plate to get. No, don’t. I’m serious. “BPM” is not a good idea. Too soon. It’s available, but no.

So, the great donut drive is still a point of exploration, however, to my surprise and amazement, there are a lot of crappy donut shops around, so research is a little grim, one bite and I’m done. Seriously, they taste like sugary hamburger buns. We’re not looking for just any donut shop. It has to be good enough to be worth the drive. We’re also looking for gathering points and are open to suggestions.

I was also thinking of a theme for the drive around the Olympic Peninsula. Given that we want to eat everything in sight that’s good, something about locusts came to mind, but no name nailed down just yet. Seriously, the BEST pizza I know is still Waterfront Pizza in Port Townsend. It’s been there a very long time. Lewis and Clark probably stopped by.

Please write us to suggest some good gathering points around 101. First gathering point would be the ferry dock, then probably Port Gamble, someplace in Port Angeles, someplace near Lake Crescent, Forks, yeah Forks, Ruby Beach, Kalaloch Lodge, Quinault Lodge, then Pacific Beach, Open Sores, possibly the Quinault Beach Resort and Casino, then Aberdeen and back through Olympia and north. Some may go up through Bremerton and take the ferry back. Others will be tired and grumpy. It’s a long day, but we want to keep doing something this winter to keep a sense of community. Oh, I’m sorry, Open Sores is on the map as Ocean Shores. My apologies.

We’re short on finding that one gathering point where we can all meet up this winter because of COVID, yet we’re trying everything we can think of. We will have a pop-up E@RTC in January for fun.

We still have the Yearbook shoot and assembly to complete, so write us at events@exoticsat.com and we’ll get you on the list for the makeup day. I will go back to posting something every Thursday. I’ve had to catch up on some other E@RTC business, so it’s taken me a while to get back to our normal routine.

Thanks as always for reading.
