I drove a lot while I was there, going from town to town up and down I-5 for various meetings.  People everywhere were great about letting you in when traffic was heavy.  They always used turn signals.  They didn&#8217;t speed.  They didn&#8217;t talk on cell phones or text while driving.  Man, we have a lot to learn from them in the area where I live.  DC drivers are the pits when it comes to courteousness while driving.<\/p>\n<p>Following are some photos that my friend Dave took while we did a bit of touring on Sunday.  We took a ferry to one of the Puget Sound islands, had lunch, and a great visit.  What a genuinely nice guy.  I appreciated having the chance to visit and spend some time touring such a scenic area.<\/p>\n<p>Life is short:  make the most of your work and travel!<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_yytsDp42pSs\/TP9hJ54BfZI\/AAAAAAAACqU\/S3GPZpF33R8\/s1600\/DSCN3437-small.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_yytsDp42pSs\/TP9hJ54BfZI\/AAAAAAAACqU\/S3GPZpF33R8\/s320\/DSCN3437-small.jpg?resize=320%2C240\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_yytsDp42pSs\/TP9hBOZY5yI\/AAAAAAAACqQ\/Nt39o0ougcs\/s1600\/DSCN3432-small.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_yytsDp42pSs\/TP9hBOZY5yI\/AAAAAAAACqQ\/Nt39o0ougcs\/s320\/DSCN3432-small.jpg?resize=320%2C240\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_yytsDp42pSs\/TP9hiMSVqhI\/AAAAAAAACqg\/uY-YLjYxEaE\/s1600\/snapshot20101206001657.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/_yytsDp42pSs\/TP9hiMSVqhI\/AAAAAAAACqg\/uY-YLjYxEaE\/s320\/snapshot20101206001657.jpg?resize=320%2C240\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_yytsDp42pSs\/TP9hZFa8a_I\/AAAAAAAACqc\/g6iiGq_dEqw\/s1600\/DSCN3442-small.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_yytsDp42pSs\/TP9hZFa8a_I\/AAAAAAAACqc\/g6iiGq_dEqw\/s320\/DSCN3442-small.jpg?resize=320%2C240\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_yytsDp42pSs\/TP9hQiMYfHI\/AAAAAAAACqY\/m-v1iZNRo_U\/s1600\/DSCN3441-small.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/_yytsDp42pSs\/TP9hQiMYfHI\/AAAAAAAACqY\/m-v1iZNRo_U\/s320\/DSCN3441-small.jpg?resize=320%2C240\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One thing that impressed me tremendously about my recent visit to Seattle was how incredibly courteous the drivers in the area were.
