Wait, didn't NoiseDesign live in Spokane for a while? Or am I thinking of someone else?
May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I think he did his undergraduate work there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm in central Washington, Spokane's all the way on the eastern border.
Oops, sorry. If it's any consolation, I do the same thing with MA, and I'm from there. "What, not on the coast? Must be all the way on the other side!"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, until someone else steps up to claim Spokane (not it!), you have to represent.

Spokane is also in the Very Very Red half of the state.
it's a fairly culturally conservative area.
Oh dear. That's something I'm hoping to get further away from, not closer to. Oh, well. It's very good to know. Thanks!

I'm trying to decide if former-star-wars who also was an engineer is worse than a dude with a heavy beancounter rep. I know nothing about this guy, so the fact that radio mentioned him primarily as engineer before manager made me a wee bit hopeful. Gonna have to talk to my dad. He's still really really bitter that they are calling the next big space telescope Webb after an administrator (insert his ickptooi here) rather than oh, I dunno, an astronomer (which is the general accepted thing. When it isn't a geographic name.) He's kinda opinionated on the subject, what with spending nearly a year coming up with an acceptable name for the 3.5 meter on his site.

Heh. No no, that's fine--I don't expect you to remember the fine points of northwestern geography. (I was in my twenties before I realized that yes, SF and LA really were quite a ways apart...)

Yeah, then Spokane isn't gonna be your thing--you want to be on the west side of the Cascades.

Fair 'nuff. The climate would suit me better, too, I expect. We'll see if the Tacoma opening comes to anything.
