Wherever you go, there you are.

 It's a mall!

look, a marketing gimmick from CA pizza oven!

It's true, but it's also a bit true that wherever you go, you're actually in a completely different place.  Here we are in Tukwila, WA which is near Sea-Tac, WA.  We discovered via the web that there were plenty of Asian restaurants, so we drive to the mall and it's huge!!!! We might as well be in Naperville, or wherever, USA.  We unfortunately ended up eating in CPO, since the Japanese place was packed and Addie, back at the motel with Nan and Ashby, had a sore stomach (addie under siege, again).  Peter and I both took note of the fact that we WERENT in Kansas anymore.  Afterall, our food server had giant nappy dreads pulled up in a giant bun, and the style of diversity it much more unique to, say, big west coast cities than big midwestern cities.  Alas, what to do???? Earlier this trip, I commented to Peter, that it seems that as we become a more Balkanized society, every town has become a bastard child of itself.
