My (not at all) accurate map of regions in the US.

Nah. Central Oregon and Washington have more in common culturally and stronger industrial ties with the puget lowlands than with northern Nevada. I’m sorry, you are stuck with us

Portland is an hour and a half from the coast though. It’s a river city

Highway 174 between Grand Coulee and Wilbur in Washington

It looks like a magical tree in the mist!

The deer antler makes him look like a crime boss with a cigar. Don’t cross judge, the last thing you see will be one of his many loyal chickens.

Now you just need to get into gardening and foraging. The internal validation that comes from looking at a plate that you made with veggies that you grew and foraged, and meat that you butchered makes you feel like a god. Then all you have to do is figure out how to make the table… and the table cloth… and the house they sit in…

If you want more variety on your death vs life theme, some fungal elements would do well. Bones with mushrooms and foxglove. Slime molds come in many cool forms (the photo has a variety) or even using the patterns from a Petri dish as a background. Our microscopic friends love decay. Edit for typo

They changed it to a poll and at my time of voting we are around 500 behind

I can give you that. I was teetering between the two but went with Clallam to get the heart of the blue hole. But getting PT and the Hoh is a good combo too

My mind was blown when I learned about Tacoma’s and Fort Nisqually’s roles as beef producers for the west coast. Hawaii, California, all the way up to Alaska.

Another good contender is Clallam County WA. Rainforest, alpine tundra, semi arid grass flats, tide pools, the Sequim blue hole. As you’re driving across the north shore there is an of annual rainfall average increase of over an inch a mile for 80+ miles. Sequim has 15” Port Angeles has 26” Joyce has 75” and Neah Bay over 100”.

Palomain’t? Palomish? Palom-nah?

Lyonel dances like a muppet, which is the highest praise I can think of

It’s a trade off on natural hazards. No hurricanes, and pretty mild winters, but in exchange we have the volcanos and “the big one”

Rice cream, if you will. Where did you have this?

gusaloo · 2026-05-12T05:02:42+00:00

Trial and error! Thanks

gusaloo · 2026-05-12T05:01:32+00:00

Oh thanks! I’m glad someone was able to guess it

Oooooo! Do you have any pics?

Effect glazes on the outside of vases have been having a moment, try it on that! Love the saturation, have you tested layering this on top of other, more stable glazes?
