Annie Fowler was born and raised in Eastern Oregon and graduated from Southern Oregon University in 1988 with degrees in communication and journalism. She has been at the Herald since March of 2000 and began covering the Tri-City Americans in 2002. She still enjoys a good game of football, but these days she gets her fill by watching her son play for Southridge High School. |
Neither rain, snow nor the unexpected end to my book on CD could keep me from returning from Everett this morning. I'd had enough of eating out and the Seattle-area traffic for one week. Hopefully tonight will result in a Tri-City victory and I can stay on this side of the mountain come Monday.
During my travels, I noticed that the gas prices were the same as ours in some places and much more in others. I bought gas in Lynnwood on Friday for $2.15 a gallon. Just up the road from my hotel in Everett one station was $2.25 and another was $2.35. Saving the company a few dollars always goes over well with my boss.
I've noticed a few changes to Toyota Center since we were here a week ago -- the American flag now hangs to the side and blocks the scoreboard to my left (not a good idea). The Americans banners were moved from center ice to one end of the rink to avoid being hit by footballs (this was a good idea).
