Hello everyone, new member from Oysterville WA

[Stomper]

I have Chico's pizza headed my way.

Good to see some coastal WA neighbors.

Does Chico work for The Man, or is it the other way around?

Chico's is a Long beach Wa institution.
Over the years it's been run and staffed by a variety of characters. Last time I was there it was a couple of neck tattooed, chain smoking tweakers and what I assumed were kids on probation.
Saturday night, according to my son, it was the barely ambulatory elderly crew. Even mix of old men and women who yelled at each other the whole time he was in the building picking up take out.
At some point a man yelled from the kitchen " THERE'S NO SMALL OR MEDIUM LEFT!!" and half the line waiting to order walked out.
Life in the sticks, baby.

My parents owned a small cabin in Ocean Park when I was a kid; spent many summers and long weeks on the Peninsula - I know Oysterville well.

Well met.

East Anglia....................Peterbrough? Huntington? That is a large area, be more specific? I went to school at RAF Molesworth. (WWII bomber base for the 8th Army Air Corps) and worked on a farm near there.

Yup. Alconbury.

My dad was there when they had F4's.

I'd wager not too many folks in my neck of the woods have heard of or been to Oysterville, WA. One of my daughters and I will never forget our time there. Welcome!

Yup. Alconbury.

How close is that to Snetterton Heath? My father flew out of there in `44.

66 crow miles.

About 75 road miles and 462 dog miles.

It's a bucket list thing for me to get there one day for a visit.

What is fun is to look at the places you lived on Google earth. Man how places change. Alconbury/Huntington.

I guess that they took the runways out of RAF Molesworth. Then brought in Cruise Missles

They've been gone these thirty years. It's now an INTEL fusion centre.

Have been to Long Beach, but don't believe I made it to Chico's. Sounds like I'd remember. Next time.

That made me laugh. Thanks
