Yet Another Refugee from Livejournal

And the predicted high temperature here, today, is still higher than the one for Marshall, NC.  Unlike the first five days, though, by now it’s only a little higher.  I’m glad of that — though, when I was planning the trip, I was expecting that Olympia would be cooler.

Something else I was expecting, or at least hoping, about this trip (though I’m pretty sure I haven’t said so, here on DW, before): that I would have the opportunity for a far-reaching, informative conversation with someone from the Olympia meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (in other words, one of the local Quakers).  (I don’t mean someone in particular — just someone.)

I am happy to report that this wish, unlike the one about the weather, did come true.  But not at all in the way that I expected it would.  How it actually came about is quite a story.
