2017: A Space (Needle) Thodyssey

A few days ago we complained that Thomas was not sending us any sign of what he was up to, so yesterday he sent us these photos. I believe this is a female elk (or a male who has cleverly removed his antlers so as to avoid ending up on a bar wall):

I think we've left Yellowstone, but not sure where he is for this:

This could be anywhere up north:

Since he didn't leave the continental US, I'm guessing we are in a zoo now:

And here is the Seattle Space needle, as all fans of "Frazier" will recognize. (We had no idea he went via Seattle. He seems to have covered enormous distances in a very short amount of time.)

If only Thomas would give us commentary, we'd be slightly less peevish.
