Skookum Blend… Powerful Bigfoot blogging
Posted by: Rick Noll on December 23rd, 2005
I write these postings about all things Bigfoot on a Mac G4 laptop with a Verizon KPC650 Kyocera wireless aircard. My Samsung cell phone has a 2 megapixel camera/video inside it (2x optical zoom) with a 256meg transcard so I can take pictures like these on the fly and include them in my posts. Pop the card out of the phone and into a USB adapter, just drag and drop. Great little backup tool for field work.
Anywhere I get cell phone coverage I get the Internet now… but I prefer to sit in comfort and have a cup of coffee while posting here.
Usually I just drop in at one of the many local Starbucks coffee houses and contend with large crowds who flock there. They are quite popular here in the Seattle area, as are bumbershoots and body piercings.
I have been longing for a place of my own though… something maybe with a bit more character… at least where Bigfoot is concerned. Just down the street from my home, there was a Jiffy Lube drive thru that closed down and guess who, or should I ask what took it’s place? A coffee shop. The Aloha Cafe, at 6808 196th ST SW, Lynnwood. They sell Raven’s Brew.
"So what?!", you ask. "A new coffee place in Seattle. Big Deal!"
Yeah, Ok. I see your point. But just look at what they sell…

I can’t wait, I’m moving to Freeland in about 4 months and it loks like a great alternative to Starbucks.
I stopped in a great little coffee-shop in Port Angeles on my way through. It was so cozy I could’ve snuggled in and made it my home. Nothing like that over here on the east side of the continent.
Heh…lots of ‘Skookum’ stuff up in BC….not surprised that there is a Skookum (strong) coffee blend in WA.
dblondon: there are places like that — and maybe better — over here on the east side.
I went to one in a tiny burg in NH — I want to say Bethlehem, NH…? — in October. The proprietor is a photographer — an excellent one — and he opened the shop as one way to make people comfortable while they’re looking at his work.
It’s called….um…..uuuhhhh…errrrr…man, I could have lived there. And since I didn’t, I may never find it again! 😀
Watch this space. Maybe that’s how the good ones stay good. They don’t get too well known.
