E.T. in Dayton, WA

One of my favorite Main Street moments. I catch a glimpse of awesome E.T. sculpture on the porch right next to an intimidating sign advertising a strict shooting of visitors policy. After a few quick snaps, I see the blinds jostle. And then the door opens. I’m freaked.

Out comes a tall, lanky man. In a casual, friendly voice he says, “You like E.T.?” I reply, “Yeah. He’s great.” I tell him about the project and he says, “Wow. That is so cool. When can I hear everything on NPR?”
