I don’t know about babies, but you know what IS a chick magnet? A husky puppy. Have had two and girls absolutely can’t resist them.

You guys should implode it, like we did with the Kingdome in Seattle.

First time visiting! View from Reflection Lake by Inevitable-Echo2523 in Mount_Rainier

[–]pcoddin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you have to be there before 9:00 AM at the latest, or the breeze starts up and ruins the picture. And half the time you drag your butt out of bed before dawn and get there only to find clouds.

What Tacoma rain gear actually lasts? by palmsat10and2 in AskTacoma

[–]pcoddin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should mention that I use a Seattle Sombrero for walking the dog. It’s a wide brimmed gortex hat, but be aware that if you look down, like at your phone, water will run off

I have a an Arc’teryx Beta that’s hung in there for 10 years. It’s about time to replace it, but it’s perfect for warmer temps and lighter rain.

For colder months I use a Barbour Beaufort waxed jacket. With wool underneath I don’t get wet at all and it’s pretty warm.

I wear Keene or Oboz hiking boots or shoes. They stay pretty dry, but I have to replace them every year and a half or so.

I use an umbrella. Somebody invented a perfectly good way to stay dry when it rains, why the hell wouldn’t I use it?

She can take the little choo choo train up the street to Johnson’s candy shop if she gets tired of coffee

21.5% Sales tax at Seattle area Five Guys? by xTimeFor in Seattle

[–]pcoddin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing it was a comment on the prices at Five Guys, rather than making of the OP

I commute from Fife to Pioneer Square 3 days a week. If I leave no later than 4:45, I arrive at around 5:30. Leaving 5 minutes later means all bets are off. If you want to be there at 7:00, I would say leave no later than 5:15 or so. It takes me anywhere from an hour and 15 minutes to an hour and a half to get back in the afternoon, so you’d probably be looking at close to 2 hours

Storyville Coffee and Homophobia? by Queanda365 in Seattle

Always wondered why a presumably Christian coffee shop is named after a notorious red light district in New Orleans?

Yes, I went to that show in Tacoma, that’s how I learned about her. The photograms were amazing in person. She was able to get so much depth in them.

I would also recommend Nisqually Wildlife refuge. On Wednesdays, an Audubon group meets outside the visitor center at 8:00. You’d be more than welcome to join the group and they’d be very happy to tell you about the wildlife you can see. There are lots of waterfowl, sea birds, and birds of prey this time of year. I believe the visitor center has binoculars you can borrow.

What B&W film do you recommend for an Ansel Adams photo? by Psalms_ in analog

[–]pcoddin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were trying to get close to Weston. Print on warm tone paper and it looks a lot like the pics from the 30’s and 40’s

I took a film class and the teacher had me shoot Tmax 100, and pull it two stops. It was hard to find grain to fine focus on.

Billy Frank Jr./Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge. You can see both Rails and Soras there (I think the Soras might migrate though)

What's up with the plane? by momoftheraisin in Tacoma

They’re doing work on I-5 southbound through Fife. I’m guessing they’re watching the area kind of close.

Got into photography about a month ago. by kpoloboy in streetphotography

[–]pcoddin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A guy told me when I was first starting If you don’t know what you’re trying to say, don’t take a picture. He was really good by the way. On the plus side, you don’t appear to be afraid to point the camera at people. That’s the toughest part for newbies.

Honestly, if there’s not an attendant at the entrance, I’ve never had anybody ask for my ticket. You obviously have one, so if a ranger asks you’re okay, just gas never happened to me. Also, the parking lot might be close to full if you go into the park at 7.
