Topper's TravelsTopper Kain's blog. Topper Kain is a world-famous kazoo player and traditional norwegian food chef. He wants you to use the comments. Saturday, July 30, 2005From an e-mail I wrote, I thought it was pretty good:I just got done (finally) with cleaning the gutters and now smell like decomposing vegetable matter. I'm covered in dirt and grime; I will soon go to a place called Earl's Marine in a town called Belfair, which makes Geelong look like downtown London, to pick up our boat. On the way I'll be passing people setting up for the town festival tonight, at least 6 different brands of fast food and probably twice that in fast food resturants. I'll gaze over the evergreen hills and see a significant portion of the greatest Navy the world has ever seen being repaired and refurbished in the Bremerton Naval Yard, knowing that those ships are the entire reason for my, and everyone elses, presence in this little corner of the world/nowhere/paradise/my home. I'll pass a diner, BBQ house, scrap yard, car dealership and really disgusting strip club, pick up my boat, drive back past a planned housing community, the naval hospital, the people (stilll) setting up for the festival, at least a thousand pick-up trucks, and that new fangled round-about that they put in while I was gone, and that people still have lots of accidents at, but at much lower speeds then when it was just a three way stop. Finally I'll pull back up into my now paved driveway and think "well, that was quite the stereotypical scene from small town America." .: posted by Topper 9:53 PM
