I live here and I've never heard folks from the PNW call D.I.R. anything but D.I.R.

...except maybe in j.e.s.t. ;)

Doc Intrepid hails from up your way, doesn't he?

Wow ...

This actually became a discussion ... it is kinda fascinating how we simplify things, perhaps it relates to background, education, perception or all of the above. But it's nice to know the world is full of diversity.

... but the further you get away from the epicenter (middle of Q-Dock South, Port of Everett) the more peripherally related you are to the PNW.

Last location I had for Doc was Russia.

Russia was TDY. He's based here in metro DC area with O-ring and me. In fact the 3 of us had lunch on Tuesday.
