Back in the 1970s, there was a state mental hospital in Sedro outside Seattle. Funding ran out and the nuts were turned loose. For 40 years my brother and I always drove around the town.

Last week I went up North to visit family. My auntie and I ended up in Sedro Wooley, and I explined my story to the local people that got a big laugh out of it. An old logging town with friendly people, home-baked bread and pies, and a certain old-timey charm it was great to be back.

For some reason, that gave me a vision that combined, "One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest," with "Deliverance," - with the nuts turned loose and all. Were the locals aware of that part of their town's history?

Dirt,
They were acutely aware of their history but non-plussed. It is very civilized for a logging town and did not remind me even remotely of a movie like "Deliverance."
