Why a picture of Ellensburg? Because today marks twin anniversaries, first the Port of Kahlotus which serves the people of Kahlotus all 250 of them and the farmers surrounding the town. I drove through Kahlotus once, it was like so many towns in Eastern Washington with a few streets, trees and a grain elevator nestled to hills of sage and scrub. The second anniversary is that of the death of Ted Bundy, Ted was a killer. I remember most of my later years of grade school watching highlights of Bundy's trial in Florida on the news.
So why then a picture of Ellensburg, well one of Bundy's victims disappeared on the campus of Central Washington University and I once knew a girl in Ellensburg that was from Kahlotus. So that's why this photo of Wippel's gas station, back in the D&M days.

fascinating juxtapositions and a bit of history to ponder. I love it.
