Yeah, was going to say this!

Ya I should have asked first. I’m in transportation and logistics, and most all employers (and DOT) require one. We are actually drug tested and the employer waits for the results before the interview is scheduled 🤷🏻‍♀️

i believe they're highlighting the importance of preserving freshwater reserves in the area, as this won't be the first glacier to go.

Not true in tech

Just thc.... It's only a test for thc

Certainly not a bad idea. Way less people. Yes, it will be mossy, foggy, green and rainy.

This is a software development job so no never experienced that before in the tech industry

Drug screening is actually quite rare (less than 2% of jobs). Nowhere close to most employers except in certain industries or job types https://americanaddictioncenters.org/blog/analysis-employer-drug-testing

We’re is this

I saw a print in a bookshop that had all the Ferry boats drawn out and named. It was super cool. I would have gotten it if I had somewhere to hang it.

I’m really sorry to hear that. That is really bizarre behavior because PT needs tourism besides locals. They rely heavily on tourist season for a lot of the shops in downtown. I love the in between. I liked when they had the deck open downstairs and you could drink right on the water. I’m really sorry you had that experience. That bar is in a space that has turned over many times in the last decade. With behavior like that I don’t see it lasting long. Shit service doesn’t really work. I love PT and spend a lot of time there but I will admit it’s never really at bars. Did you try soak on the sound while you were there?

There’s something so fun about riding the ferries. Great shot

Right?

Well of course. I didn't mean to imply otherwise. From reading the headline you'd have no idea the the entire glacier is gone. Of course it's a major concern. My comment was aimed at the journalism, not questioning climate change.

Of course! There is a bar called PT anchor there that is where we first started getting bad service. The bartender would ignore us when we would ask for drinks, gave us dirty looks and just overall a bad attitude and poor service. After the second time we went there after leaving a generous tip on the company card we received equally poor service the second time. We decided to try a different bar the next night. There we have great service until we see the same bartender from first bar(PT anchor) come in and sit down to have a drink. He has a conversation with the bartender and after that we began receiving poor service again. The next time we went to PT anchor we asked the guy why he has a problem with us and he told us because we were “outsiders” and they were “Townees” and that we didn’t belong there.

They can have their little town full of old people I was just there for work. Would have spent lots of money on the company card and tipped well but this guy chose to alienate us from the town.

We did go into a couple small bars that were really cool and great service like the in between.

Many glaciers have some portion that stays even through the driest and hottest period of summer. Mount Everest is never missing snow at the top, and Mount Rainier always has snow too but that might be changing. This is a real concern because most water in Washington during the summer comes from the glaciers melting. If they start to run out, the lack of rain will also be a lack of rivers.

Yes, it is legal for an employer to require a job applicant take a drug test even if they did not notify you that one was required ahead of time.

Non-rush hour combined with the reality that people stay in their cars these days cause, you know, Covid.

Are you saying that using water causes glacial melt?

How come it’s so empty!

I primarily go after Petrified wood, Geodes, Agates and Fossils more then Crystals. I defiantly have some and occasionally will look if I'm near a site but my neighbor (who is also a lapidary) is my primary source, as he goes after Quartz scepters and Amethysts, so we end up trading a lot.

The Book "Gem Trail of Washington" by Garret Romaine is a good resource for well known sites. The Washington Department of Natural Resources has a whole page devoted to rockhounding in the local area. Depending on your location, Rock Clubs will also some times do member tours where they all collectively(see what I did there?) go out together and find goodies. I did one up to Baker Lake and Walker Valley and had a good time on both.

Don't hesitate to reach out if you have further questions!
