Hey fellow ChileHeads, I'm back!

Seattle is a great town, at least from the parts I've seen.  Pike's Market is 
fantastic.  All the fresh fish and produce, what a playground for chef.  

I was a little dissapointed with the selection of fresh peppers though.  I 
guess the "Heat Wave" hasn't hit Seattle hard yet.  I can say that if I had 
the opportunity to return I would do so in a heartbeat.  I can import or try 
to grow my own Chilies just to support my habit.  With all of that fresh 
seafood and my talents in the kitchen I'd be very happy, too say the least.

Now the bad news.  With all of the rain here in Las Vegas while I was gone, 
my small garden has been pretty well damaged.  I was able to save some of the 
fruit from the plants, but the water just washed alot of the soil away from 
the plants and left some of the roots exposed.  I have replaced the soil 
around the plants so I am hoping and praying that El Grande will see fit to 
save these plants from the ravages of these excessive downpours.

Well, enough for now.  I must sleep in order to gain strength so that I may 
work in the garden tomorrow.  Night all!

Yours in Flavor
John "Chile" Whalen
