I came from a small Kansas town — population 300 — to Port Angeles in 1950.
I thought it was huge, and it took me a long time to say it was small.
I have been amazed lately how many people have received their Ph.D. here, including me.
All of us have our Ph.D. in the same thing: pothole dodger.
We find it to be very costly: car alignment, dental bills from clenching teeth so hard, doctor bills from whiplash, back pain, strained arm muscles and shaking our guts back and forth.
I still love Port Angeles.
I know the city is doing its best to solve the problem.
I bet you are thinking: This lady’s cheese has slipped off her cracker.
No, it hasn’t.
I’m not too old to know if I’m on foot or horseback.
