New edits

With being gone during the summer, I have kept my blogs stylistically simple; writing only. Over the next couple of weeks I will be going back over the blogs and editing them with pictures, movies, and such. So much of the story is missing hearing or seeing only my side of what was happening in Seattle. In rereading some blogs, I may find something that needs to be rewritten. In keeping with my declaration of the appreciation of the rawness of life, I will keep the text as is in the first draft. Any additions or reworking of a piece will happen in the present with a reference link back to the original. Have fun reading.
