The Community Nerve Center

This window at the entrance of the Post Office serves as the nerve center for the town. Want everyone to see something? Post it there.

We get everything. Just a few weeks ago, there was a plea from a schoolgirl who had lost her mother's digital camera, and needed it back quickly so she could complete her school project.

On the left, we have an announcement of the Valentine's dinner, sponsored by the American Legion Post #199, at the Senior Center here in town. You can choose steak, chicken, or salmon (I'd pick salmon). You can also choose rice or potato. Veggies, dessert, and beverages, all included for $13 a person.

Next over, superimposed with my reflection, is the announcement for the Memorial service for Gordon L. Johnson, at Flintoff's Funeral Home, way down in Issaquah. The family suggests memorial donations to Medic One, our ambulance service here in King County.

And on the right, we learn that some senior citizen has lost Rosie, a gray Cockatiel with orange "cheeks". Those with avian phobia are reassured that Rosie is very friendly.

I like the post office. Every time I go in, I see the reflection of that nice Douglas Fir on the other side of the parking lot.
