I was going through a box of random junk this afternoon, and came across a postcarrd of Snoqualmie Falls. [ETA: apparently I was gearing up for Talk Like A Pirate Day. Arr!]
No message on the back, nor any useful information; the caption reads: The Salish Lodge overlooks Snoqualmie Falls which plunges 268 feet to the river below. Photographer--Craig Tuttle. © 1992 IMPACT. Printed in Japan. I stared at it blankly. To the best of my knowledge, I'd never been to Snoqualmie Falls; I didn't even know where it was.
That was easily remedied via Google. Washington state, near Seattle. I've been to Seattle, but Snoqualmie Falls still wasn't ringing any kind of a bell, not even the chintzy kind they put on cat collars that always sound flat.
But the longer I stared at the postcard, the more familiar it began to look. Especially the Salish Lodge.
And then it hit me, and I ran another Google search: Snoqualmie Falls Twin Peaks. The Salish Lodge is the Great Northern.
That explains why I have the postcard, although I still don't have any idea when or where or how I acquired it, and I've jotted a note on the back Twin Peaks--Great Northern, so that when I find it again in another five or ten years, I'll know what it is.
Dale Cooper, I love you still.

And it took me a moment to realize that that information had nothing to do with why you would have that postcard.

And the train of free-associative thought your comment started told me something important about the Lovecraft/cyberpunk sf novel that's waiting in the back of my head for its turn at the mike, so thank you!

And I meant to comment anyway, to let you know that I picked up a copy of Melusine on the "New and Interesting" shelf at my local library yesterday. :-)

Thank you for letting me know.

But now that I think about it, "site to see" isn't necessarily wrong, in the way that "web sight" would be.
