Well, student debt at the UW is way higher than at SCCC, so that part makes sense.

Plus, perfect excuse to enjoy the weather.

I don't think I would have even been suspended - let alone arrested - if I had been caught with a "small explosive device" (a.k.a., firecracker) at my middle school back in the '70s.

Especially one that, “Unless it was close to somebody, it would have only caused minor damage.”

It's strange to think we just have sewage flowing into lakes. I don't recall seeing any "don't ever swim here, poop pipe nearby" signs anywhere.

I suggest the new Unpaid Intern practice spelling "Rainier" a few times until it's second nature.

@3 I think that's precisely what they used to have along the banks of Lake Washington before they cleaned it up, fifty years ago or something.
