Whenever going south from Seattle or coming back from south, I always wondered why I-5 always backs up from JBLM, when in the world we will see this decade long I-5 expansion finished… Also, on the same freeway around the base, I encountered the flying (actually landing) aircraft closest ever to me in my life (thought it was landing over my car) while driving I-5 once, and also remember lots of yellow scarfs on the freeway overpass at base – all made me wonder what is actually in inside of these military bases (actually joint base between Army and Air Force – so two bases)

Well, this one big question solved luckily from one invite from family residing in the base at the last part of summer πŸ™‚ so this was my first US military base/garrison visit after Yongsan/Seoul garrison weekend visit during 90s πŸ™‚

Annual or Bi-annual crazy oyster eating day..

Well I do understand, the farm needs to run the business for profit purpose, but I do miss the old days when everyone was welcome to do the charcoal grill and freely eat at open tables next to the shop. (Now, those tables are closed ‘restaurant table’ area and you cannot do the grilling at all)

Milkie Milkie Bingsu Cafe at Edmonds – The Last Dessert Before Corona Shutdown

20200314_132947

Happen to visit here at last Saturday after grocery shopping (well it is more of restocking) and this dessert end up being the last dessert we had at cafΓ© (with ‘very distancing’ in the store) for foreseeable future period. -Just a day before governor’s order of restaurant shutdown.

Nice Bingsu with fine & crispy ice but their ice was not milk based, so I wondered why they are calling themselves as Milkie Milke

As US never opens up any infection source details of confirmed cases on Corona -only the numbers of confirmed cases and deaths by county with news of random people getting confirmations, I found myself feeling more nervous on being outside. Especially noticing the continued growth of confirmed case numbers (now Washington state just passed 1k) Now, I think the dessert I had at last weekend seems crazier & stupid idea than few days ago..

Also, after almost-two-weeks of ‘stuck at home’, staying at home feels more comfortable as fear of being outside becomes bigger than the challenges of ‘stuck at home’

Maybe this pandemic might end up creating lots of new 2020 Otakus who will refuse to get outside and stay at home with repetition of work & sleep after all things are settled.. (and I might be already one of those.. πŸ™‚ )
