OK, the keeper helped teach the class on culture today so missed the morning portion of the institute. But she almost missed the class because she followed a portable house moving project --2 separate trucks each pulling 1/2 of the house. They snarled all the traffic on Bothell Way and then slowed 405 too. But what was most disgusting was that one of the halves was spewing styrofoam pellets and pebbles, along with pieces of plastic all the way. Gross. She said the Institute group did a very funny skit on faith and youth with Sister Olga playing Dr. Olga...Dr. Laura like. She cheered them on. It seems that the group is struggling to keep its energy. And others, like the keeper, are choosing not to be at things. A lot of peer pressure to follow the program lockstep.
This afternoon they got out early so all the visitors could tour Seattle, and since she felt she toured Seattle all day--from Kirkland to Bothell to Ballard to Capital Hill, First Hill, U District. Enough. But, she is very happy with two companies: DA Burns rug cleaners and Pottery Barn. The keeper took the rug which was already smelling badly that we like to use for activities which mar, stain, etc., and the DA Burns people told her that we didn't really make the smell, that the latex used to glue the back was the cause, and that Pottery Barn would replace it! After 10 years! We felt good because it was not our fault. And Pottery Barn traded our old rug for a new beautiful one that doesn't smell. We will respect it. We are happy because PB respected us.
