I can understand what you consider as a ‘doable washrooms’. I have sat in a poorly maintained washroom before and wondered how someone in a wheelchair might be able to use it – I can see that you might not always be able to make it work, but your effort to make things ‘doable’ is amazing.

Hi Glenda!
I love the new term you and Darrel have coined for ‘doable washrooms’ versus accessible ones. I have experienced this many a time while praying that my son who is a wheelchair user comes out of the washroom having achieved the doable goal that he set out for in the doable washroom!!??

Thanks for that tip, Kathy! The herring roe was ok, until I knew what I had just eaten – just psychologically. But the oolichan was definitely a physical reaction! But, I tried it!

The great thing about a talking stick is you can take as long as you want to say what you have to say and everyone will wait respectfully until you decide to pass the talking stick to the next person.
As to the Oolichan grease – stick to the herring roe on kelp. It’s just squeaky.

Hi Karen,

Let’s just say I experienced that one bite a few more times later that night. Very oily. But, at least I tried it!

That oolichan was a bit much, eh? I’ve never heard of it, but from the description of it, I think it’s something I’ll scratch off my “shall experience once in a lifetime” list.
