About This Item

This travel bug is trying to return to Washington State in the United States. There is sometimes some confusion about Washington State and Washington DC. Hopefully, the following story will help clear up the confusion.

God had been missing for six days when the Archangel Michael found him resting on the seventh day. When asked, God pointed with satisfaction and said "Look - I've created a planet I will call Earth and I've put life on it and it will be be a place of great balance." Puzzled, Michael asked for an explanation and God replied everything had been made to balance on Earth. Some places were hot, some places were cold. Some places would enjoy great opportunity and wealth, others would be poor. Some places would have lots of people, some just a few. Everything would balance.

Michael was impressed by God's work and pointed to a land area and asked "What's that?" God replied "That's Washington State - the most glorious place on Earth. There are beautiful mountains, rivers and streams, lakes, forests, hills and plains. The people from Washington State are going to be handsome, modest, intelligent and humourous. They will be extremely sociable, hardworking, high achieving and while travelling the world will be known as diplomats and carriers of peace.

Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed, "What about balance, God? You said there would be balance."

God smiled, "There is another Washington --- wait until you see the idiots I put there."

    Well - this travel bug accomplished its mission and returned to Vancouver, WA (twice). It certainly won the race with Washington 2 since Washington 2 has been missing somewhere near Boston for about 18 months.

    The TB is a little the worse for wear but it's travelled a long ways.

    It's now being retired. It's been fun.
