I never liked the name zilch although it did seem to sound like that. I thought it was more of a vvvvvvit sound, heavy on the v. Amazing how things happen in different parts of the world the same, but different. I don't know who first found out about zilches in our neck of the woods, but someone had to be first. It really makes you wonder how the human mind words. Somewhere, in a far of distant part of the world, someone might be thinking something very close to me, almost like twins separated at birth, in a cosmic sense.LMFAO...... yes! We did this! - half a world away. Except we called them 'Wurts'. Same reasoning though - the sound of the molten plastic as it dropped to the ground...."wurt...wurrrt....wurrtttt..." We used a type of grocery bag, and used to twist and knot them together into a type of rope.
Best accompanied of course, by a large quantity of cheap wine, and some ferociously evil weed (hey - I was 20 at the time....). And of course, dragging the sofa outside onto the lawn for comfortable seating was mandatory. Unfortunately, wurting came to an end in that student house when one of my roommates taped the end of the wurt to the kitchen ceiling and managed to set fire to the house. Thank you for bringing up an old memory, DVS.
Of course, Aquila would never willfully set fire to plastic these days.......but cheap wine and dragging furniture out into the garden still happen on a fairly regular basis

For many years I thought my element was water. It still is to an extent.
However (I'm going to give a strange answer here!) over the past 10 years, I've realized I'm a city gal. But the city has to have a colourful history, I feel more calm, more connected, to ancient/medieval cities. There has to be a deep connection to the past.
I guess therefore my element is Earth.

Of course I know about aerosol cans. In my post I said I have three sisters and hair spray was very flammable. Talk about tossing one of those into a fire...you just sit back and wait for the explosion.Yeah, man, burning trash could be fun back in the ole days. But sometimes there were things in that trash that shouldn't ought to be. You know like aerosol cans. Hoo wee!
My whole family were firebugs. You might not believe this but once, I swear to god, my Dad stuck a tire in the fireplace. BAD idea! LMAO!
But a tire in the fireplace? Oh My God! It's a wonder you all didn't get black lung or something.

I'm gagging just THINKING about the smell. Of the tire, that is.

Yup. The lack of big bugs and the limited amount of cold blooded critters is one of my absolute favorite things about the northwest.

Ha! That wasn't the ocean.Boring? The ocean??
I think someone's forgotten about the phosphorescence.
That was a quasi-mystical bay, and top contender for Most Erotic Place on Earth.

If we are looking at the classic elements from the scientia sacria of western philosophy, my element would be Air, with strong earth elements. I think that is why I dislike cities. They smell foul, and the air is just awful. I can't look up and see a vast expanse of sky unless I'm on top of a building. That, oddly enough, is one of the few places I approach comfortable in a city, and that is up on the observation deck of a tall building. They always make me nervous though, as there is that part of my brain saying that I should jump, just so I could fly for a little bit.
On that front, I really liked driving through the desert because of that big sky feel. It wasn't until I opened the door and got out of the AC that I instantly hated everything to do with it.

One of the aspects of the ocean that appeals to me is the element of surprise. You really never know what you’re going to see or experience out there.
Lance and I have spent thousands of hours on the water and it’s never the same experience twice. You can be sitting there for hours, nothing happening, not even a bird to be seen and then suddenly…BOOF! A humpback whale comes flying out of the water in a spectacular leap and decides to spend the next half hour putting on an acrobatic display for you.
I’m someone who loves the unexpected, so the ocean is a natural fit for me.
Boring? I think not.

Clear air is important. When I go back to visit the city, I am shocked at the air quality. What's even more shocking, to me, is how the people who live there seem oblivious to it. I remember going for a run in Costa Mesa, California and feeling sick to my stomach knowing I was breathing that orange stuff I could see on the horizon.
BLECH!

Yes, and even better is that our dangerous snake comes with a built in alarm.
Yup. Very handy.
Even better that they're not in MY part of Oregon.

Or maybe I'm on the RIGHT side of I5. After all, we don't have rattle snakes.
Actually, it's the mountains, if I remember right. South of the Siskiyou's they have rattle snakes, north they don't.

Point taken about being on the right side of I5. I just know that down here you're much, MUCH more likely to run into a rattler if you're east of I5. That's not to say it won't happen in the coastal range, but you're more likely to hit bear or cougar there.

Yes, luv, but I'd have to cross the ocean to get there. It tends to limit travel arrangements.

Aquila, have you heard much in the news about Aitutaki?
I just found out about the cyclone and of course the power and lines of communication are still down on the island so I can't contact any of my friends there.

I'd love to see a humpback. What's a good place for probable viewing?
Took a speedboat to Anacapa Island once. A school of dolphins popped up out of nowhere and raced us for about 5 or 10 minutes. Incredible.
I like kayaking in the ocean. It's a great way to observe sea otters and harbor seals in a place like Monterey Bay.

Yeah, you only have to worry about bears and cougars if you go into the forested areas. I rarely do that, so it's not an issue. And when K does he's hunting and has a gun on him. Snakes, on the other hand, will come right up to your door. And yes, I'm talking from experience. I have a crap load of family in that area. lol
Yeah, there's only two venomous spiders here, too, and they're both reclusive and not fatal, if handled quickly. (The fiddleback and the black widow.)

As far as I know, Hawaii and Tonga are your best bets for guaranteed humpback viewing. Most of our encounters have been off the west coast of Vancouver Island or on the Sea of Cortez in Baja. We did see a few when we lived in Aitutaki, as well. They are incredibly playful whales.
Two of my friends encountered a Blue Whale while kayaking in the Sea of Cortez, near Loreto. Can you imagine that? Wow. The Blue Whale's heart is the size of a Volkswagen Bug! They said they can never describe how spectacular it was.
I've seen about a bajillion dolphins in the wild. They never cease to amaze me.
Sea otters?
