Seattle Premium Outlets 2

We went down to the factory outlets last Saturday, June 24th. Saw none other than Andrea in the Skechers store. The daytrip was marred somewhat by having to provide long distance support by personal cell phone for a customer beta release go-live. I'll have to look closely at the phone bill to figure out my reimbursement.

I had earmarked some money for a good cause (charity), but good people, I've blown it all on books and shoes! (Well, mostly shoes, as the nine books below, six of which are hardcovers, came out to be only US$44.)


Both softcovers.


The Rilke is a hardcover.


The Goldberg is a softcover. The Gribbin is a hardcover and comes with an A&E Biography episode on Einstein.


Both hardcovers. Stargazing—yum!


Hardcover and looks very promising.

BTW, on return, the customs officer let us through without having to dish out any taxes and duty. The shoes at the outlets were cheap compared to up here. Skechers that go for CDN$100 go for US$45, and there was more selection down south.
