Last modified: August 05. 2009 7:47PM Windsox Service and I and my 2 cats, 2 dogs, 20+ cockatiels, 5+ budgies, 2 Cockatoos, 20+ chickens, 4 ducks, and 7 sheep AND WAY TOO MANY ROOSTERS....all reside in Forks, Washington located on the west end of the Olympic Peninsula and surrounded by the Olympic National Park. We are independent tolerant people here - we are West Enders and a unique group of people. We enjoy rain - and we made a conscious decision to stay here - Money to be made against living in Paradise - easy decision. The remoteness of this area led me to start a company specializing in transporting people to and from hospital and doctor appointments - WEST END TRANSPORT. This led to starting my transportation service and after a CERTAIN Ranger wouldn't stop fighting for backpackers - I created Windsox's fleet - a 1991 Ford Escort Station Wagon and a 1988 Lincoln Town Car - to accommodate backpackers. Only a select few are offered the Town Car. All vehicles sport a windsox flying proudly. I am (was) a retired old lady (56+) who decided to move here after the Chamber of Commerce asked me to call back because a bi-plane wanted to land and they had to get the elk off the runway. My current claim to fame...The May 2003 issue of National Geographic Adventure Magazine (pages 22-24) features the Third Beach - Oil City Trail - AND - mentions my company.

All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in. I've learned that one good turn gets most of the blankets. I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people are just jerks. I've learned that whatever hits the fan will not be evenly distributed. I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to others - they are more screwed up than you think. I've learned that depression is merely anger without enthusiasm. I've learned that it is not what you wear, it is how you take it off. I've learned that you can keep vomiting long after you think you're finished. I've learned to not sweat the petty things, and not pet the sweaty things. I've learned age is a very high price to pay for maturity. I've learned that I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it. I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, unless we are celebrities. I've learned that artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity. I've learned that 99% of the time when something isn't working in your house, one of your kids did it. I've learned that there is a fine line between genius and insanity. I've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon, the less important ones just never go away, and the real pains in the a** are permanent.
