I took a ferry today, and I’m still recovering from the emotional whiplash I experienced. It’s hard to talk smack on the ferries, but it is unavoidable. The people have a right to know.

As I went to grab a pretzel, I noticed a lovely display of Ferry Swag. I’ve been pining for one of the ferry-shaped fried food and dip thingys! But then, I saw it: a 20 ounce Yeti tumbler, engraved with images and names of each ferry. I had to have it. I passed on the snack boat because, according to the price list, I was about to drop $24 on a tumbler.

My pretzel and tumbler totaled $84 and change. I was shocked. The cashier showed me the price in their system. They hadn’t updated the price list that customers see. The 10 ounce version is also $69.99.

I went from being an incredibly proud almost-owner of the best Diet Coke cup ever to utter despair in mere seconds. Obviously, I did not buy the tumbler. And forgot to get a food boat bc I was so shocked.

So…has anyone bought the $70 cup? Or bought it for less? Is it really $70, or was the system glitching? I can’t stop thinking about how beautiful it was.

[Picture of Yeti, who jumped into shotgun while I was attempting to acquire Yeti x WSF swag. As you can see, he wasn’t happy either. He demands a discount on a Yeti products and ferry shaped dog treats.]

Star is a 9 month old black lab mix, about 70 pounds, almost looks like a greyhound lab mix. Very shiny coat and floppy, oversized ears. She lives on Lower Elwha Road.

Posting on behalf of a friend & neighbor.

This morning, Pet Posse posted on Facebook that a dog called Star was “surrendered and adopted.”

Star’s owner is an older man with some memory issues, but he did not - and would not - surrender Star. He and Star have a full time caretaker.

Someone took Star from him off the street, and the called Pet Posse to report that Star was surrendered and adopted. For some reason, Pet Posse will not provide the owner or his caretaker with this persons name.

Attached are pictures of Star, along with screenshots of Pet Posse’s post (and their edit, made after fb started blowing their page up), and the post of the caretaker from when she learned that Star had been taken.

I won’t pretend to know everything, or even most things, BUT I know Star and her dad, and he would never surrender her (much less to a stranger on the street). His life is caring for her. She’s his best friend and constant companion.

It’s shameful to see a senior, who spent parts of his working years fighting fires in and around Port Angeles, taken advantage of in what should be his golden years.

His caretaker is filing a police report, and I’m going to work on getting notices to all vets from Forks to Sequim. If you know anything, or think you see Star, please contact me. I will pass the information on.

Giant socks are Morning Waffles by little wooly home. Dad does like him a waffle!

Yarns: La Poel from Distracted by Yarn (blue), Malabrigo sock something (dark multi), and Daffodil from Daises and Dandelions (I think…)

(If I hadn’t added the yellow to the giant socks, I wouldn’t have had enough from the full skein of Malabrigo sock!)

I watched as rainbow weather started to form, and thought to myself, there’s no way…but it happened! Perfectly!

Uffda I do not like cabling on socks…but it’s so lovely that I’ve cast on its mate right away.
