• Along with The Bourne Legacy & Total Recall, just-released Your Sister’s Sister (filmed in the San Juans) opens tonight at The Palace Theatre for a week – here’s a review.

• Be sure & drop by the Fair for music tonight, as Polecat plays, with Lloyd Jones on tap for tomorrow night!

Yu know him as Santa at Christmas at Roche Harbor & in town, and you know his smiling face when he’s driving for San Juan Transit each year – he’s lived here 23 years & his love for the island shows – happy 70th birthday (yesterday) to Steve McMurtrie! Photo by Mariah Hughes

Cooling down yesterday – we used to call this a “poor man’s swimmin’ pool” when I grew up in the South – looks like James’ kids & the neighbor kids are cooling off! Photo by Kevin Holmes.

When Tom & Ingrid Palm came to the island last week from Beaverton, OR for the three-city Road Scholar program, they had a chance to catch up with their cousin, Rob Nou (right), who worked in a visit between serving as sheriff, setting up for the Fair, and keeping pretty busy, the way we do.
