Cooper's legacy

Well, drat! Seems that instead of my fruitless trek to Leavenworth, I could have gone to Ariel, WA, this past weekend,

Why would I want to do that, you ask?

Why, because they have a D.B. Cooper festival every year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Who knew?

NPR reported on this today, & I have to say it sounds like a lot more fun than Leavenworth was, even if there had been brats & Glühwein. The Cooper look-alike contest alone would have been worth it.

Well, I’ll just have to put it on my List for next year. It’s not the Doo Dah parade, but then, this isn’t Pasadena, so one must make allowances.
