- Don’t forget to close the hatchback. Thank the ISH that your laptop didn’t fly out.
- Boise doesn’t really exist.
- The Idaho border marks the end of Mountain time.
- Quicksand comes from pockets of moisture under the land.
- Quick actually mean living, as in “quicksilver” and the “quick and the dead.”
- Deadlines are the opposite of lifelines.
- Driving I-84 at night is like driving on the moon.
- After hours of driving on the moon, you will get delirious. You will decide that there are only two things in the Universe the IS and the ISH. The ISH is the Nothing from which all good things come.
- You will begin to see the ISH everywhere.
- Standard time zones were not adopted in the US until 1918.
- Mt. St. Helens is not the tallest point in Washington. Mt Rainier is.
- Mt Rainer is the Kingdom of Ish.
- Time being measured in 12s instead of 10s came from the Egyptians in 3000 BCE
- Time is a strange, troubled child.
- Washington smells like the Ish. Which smells like cinnamon apples.
