Not having the best day: went and got my car this morning and discovered that someone had smashed a window in order to steal… my… travel mug. Seriously, that’s the only thing that was missing. Certainly there was nothing valuable visible. So now I get to pay a $1000 deductible on my insurance so that someone else can have a travel mug.
Amusingly, that $1000 is about what I would have spent on parking at my hotel in Seattle (5 days at $80 a day) plus Vancouver (14 days at $40 a day) if I’d elected to not use the cut rate parking. So the only really frustrating part is that I’m probably not going to have my car for most of the time I’m in Vancouver. Oh well. You can get to a lot on foot and by bus, and I’ll be working a good chunk of the time too. Maybe I’ll rent a car for a couple of days if it’s not going to be done by a week from today.
Anyway! Seattle wasn’t all bummer by any means. For one thing, I met Wookiee, a seven-year-old Westie with a lot of personality, and a lot of happy as well! Wookiee’s mom is currently prepping for an interview with a company that might be moving her (and her husband, and Wookie!) down to San Francisco, so Wookiee might be a genuine DoSF in not too long. If so, hopefully I run into him there! (His dad told me he had an instagram account, but the name he told me does not seem to be correct, and all of my google searches were in vain, so hopefully he, his wife, or Wookiee himself stumbles across this post and sets me straight!)
