    Naw. There hasn't been a fatal attack by wild wolves in the lower 48 since before 1900. The number of nonfatal attacks over that same time by wild wolves in the lower 48 is really small. Got to watch out for dogs when they are off leash though. And I'd keep children within eyesight just out of an overabundance of caution. And that's more about the cougars than than the wolves

    The thing that's actually dangerous is the two legged vermin.

    Got a trail flat yesterday. Fucking stock tires are done for, ordered me a set of KO2's. Funny that 265/70r16s are actually more expensive than 265/75r16s.

    Nice. I ordered a Century Ultra Sport from Bob Top in Hillsboro on Saturday. With pet screens and the key fob locking door it came out to $1,910. But I couldn't wait any longer cause I need to be able to put the dogs in the back.

    My canopy was free! The special load-bearing carpet lining runs about $1,500, but they threw in the whole canopy for nothing :)

    Possibly moving into yalls area (Tacoma, WA or possibly Portland)this time next year. Wife will be doing clincials and I will need a job. Have a few questions.

    What is the job market like?

    I have a degree in Occupational Safety.
    Experience in refineries, fab shops, counter sales, parts, shipping/receiving, heavy equipment.

    House vs apartment, looking to rent. Nothing big. Just me, the wife n dog.

    Pricing?
    Availability?

    Thanks in advance.

    If your looking at working in Tacoma I would recommend living in Olympia/Lacey area. I was never a big fan of the Tacoma area.

    I will tell you that the housing market in the Puget Sound area for both rentals and buying has been very tight. Don't wait till you move there to try and secure a lease.

    Nothing too exciting... maybe a little rust
    I've been to San Antonio, they can't imagine traffic down there like we have here.
