Stephan:   Ronlyn and I decided to take our first break since November, and to hike the Olympic Peninsula of Western Washington, staying at the old lodges from an earlier time that dot the area. It is a wonderful trip which I highly recommend, with one caveat -- It is almost impossible to get online here. No cell coverage, no internet in any general sense. I did not anticipate this, and continue to be surprised that there are large parts of the U.S. where the internet is almost unavailable. Thus, no SR yesterday, and today's edition is coming at an odd time. I am doing it while sitting on a strip of concrete around a Quinault Native American tribal store where I had heard one could get online if one stayed close to the building's Eastern wall. It is working sort of, but is about to rain. -- Stephan
