Here's our story: I was a super-senior at ISU (remember that I did a 5th year?) and totally cool. He was a lowly freshman. He decided to pursue backstage as well as onstage so took technical drawing his freshman year. He and I spent many late nights post midnight drafting together to get our projects done. He's freaking hilarious and made me laugh constantly. Nothing like his character on the show, but it peeps out on frequent occasion. You would enjoy the show. The fact that your daughter is personal friends with Coach Beard automatically ups your cool factor x 10.

Leavenworth, Washington Aug 2021 With Our Daughger

Leavenworth, Washington is a nice tourist town. It initally developed as a mining and timber community. When those industries played out, the town went into a long decline. They decided to make the town look like a German Bavarian town, similar to Oberammergau. I have spent a good deal of time in Oberammergau and they have succeeded in making this town look similar. The town is now very successful. Photos below.

The mountains around the town do make it look like Bavaria. But the success of the town was urban redevelopment. Nicely done.

We met some German from Bavaria who have been working in Portland and unable to go home during Covid. So they came here, and said that it did in fact remind them of home. They thought it was authentic looking. References at the end of this post explain how they did it.

The smoke from the wildfires has made the air quality unpleasant and it has been very hot.  Cooling off now.
