>Welcome to the Oyster Capital of the World

I've done this before.

Back in Wyoming. Sugar beets, remember?

But these are oyster shells.

Welcome to the Oyster Capital of the World.

They package them like this. For what? You tell me.

Oregon's picturesque coastal oyster towns...
Laksa's been here before. It's my first time.

These are a kitty's idea of heaven. Big stacked boxes.

Laksa wants to smuggle himself aboard a ship. To a foreign country.
(To be continued... maybe.)

>Mole gets a job as a forklift operator

Listen, little brother Mole. I have been around a little longer than you have. Believe me, I've been there.

Sauntering around a logging mill brings back memories of...

...pondering if I could be a UPS driver...

... or a firefighter...

... a light rail operator...

... a streetcar driver...

...a truck driver. Heck, yeah!

Now we find you, my little brother Mole, in a body shop.
What were you doing there exactly?

Learning to drive a Plymouth Barracuda??

Without a permit no less. Gotcha!

But you say you got the green light.

To operate a forklift?!!

What, you didn't think I could do it?

Checking my brakes...

Checking for traffic...

Thank you, Laksa, for worrying about me.
I have a feeling we'll all be fine.

>wolves and puppies

We're here in Washington state to see wolves, I think. Gotta act tough.

Excuse me, may I be scared...?

There's a caged wolf!

They look like dogs. Their legs look different, though.

They walk differently.

I know what you're thinking, but I'm not pooping in public.

He is!

That's it. I'm done with wolves...

Hello, civilized Seattle doggy.

...riding his "dawg sled."

Healdsburg puppy and kitty, happy together. Yeah, right.

Portland Hyena. Boo!

>Tillamook Naval Air Station

Cheese... I mean Douglas A-4E Skyhawk.

Aero Spacelines 377MG Mini Guppy.
That's gotta be the ugliest airplane in the world, mommy.

US Naval Air Station's Dirigible Hangar B is possibly the largest wooden structure in the world. (Not that building behind the sign. The humongous hangar is behind me.)

Air Museum housed in that hangar was closed when we visited.
You may not realize it, but it is seen from miles away.
This is my dream sequence. Can I fly with that wing over there?
(Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah. The structure is designed by Eero Saarinen.)
