What's Blue and Taller Than Sally—NB

Steve and Sally

Seattle is raining and cold today, the street is full of puddles and the wind nips at your face.  And in all this drizzle and grey, a big old white truck rumbled down our street, filled with big white boxes (and boxes).  And tucked inside each box were the new 2011 LATCH manuals, the color of a Seattle sky on a warm summer day.  A feeling good, happy day, lay-in-the-grass-with-nothing to do blue sky day. You know what I mean?   That blue.  


At 9 AM today, Consolidated Press came with a special delivery of manuals!  Consolidated Press is major cool, guys.  


The majority of the run is still at the bindery, but, just for us, they pulled 669 off the floor so we could have some before Christmas. (I told you they were cool!).  


Their usual truck was in the shop, so they used an old one, without a lift.  The driver (Don), Sally, Steve and I hand unloaded the boxes. Each box weights 25 lbs.  We all got a bit of a work out.    


Ok so Sally is only 4 ft 11.  But still that's a lot of boxes.
