Bivalve belt

[Becky]

Polittically liberal culture, or lack of culture, like, whatever, within [clamming] distance of the coasts and inland salt water bodies (Puget Sound, Straits of [Juan de Fuca], estuaries) of Washington, Oregon, Northern California, British Columbia, and Alaska. Spiritual Icon is [Ivar] [Haglund] (deceased and not risen again), Seattle seafood restauranteur and local character, noted for his sagely peaceful spiritual advice, Keep Clam. Bivalve Belt persons are noted for prissily liberal politics, a fun-demented belief that Ivar will stay dead, Save the Spotted Owl bumper stickers, and walking in the rain without umbrellas. A few have drowned by staring at the sky (overcast) with their mouths open.
