No Rain for You.
@4 - no kidding. I seem to bring rain every time I go there.
I will check this out when I go in mid-June. #1 objective is the Punk show at the Met.

SL Letter of the Day: Living Discomfortably.
I don't disagree with the general direction here at all. Tell the dude to stop and state your case.
But..."ancient" roommate? You can make your point without making those of us in our late 40s feel like shit, Dan. And last I looked, you weren't all that young yourself.

Bea Arthur Nude.
@4 - LOL
OK, so...I have a real problem with this:
“It’s historically significant," Christie's representative Koji Inoue says of the Arthur portait in a statement to The New York Post. "It’s radical to sexualize someone people think of as asexual."
I never thought of Maude as asexual. From a broad (ha!) perspective, I saw her as a power top, who probably brutalized Arthur in a way he truly enjoyed. And, additionally, though I was too young to give it a name when the show was on, there was a tangible lesbianism to her character.
I don't know what credentials Mr. Koji Inoue has to judge sexual attractiveness (although he's a rather handsome, tall drink of water who stirs my loins a bit...) but I think his commentary was unnecessary. I'd be much more interested in his opinion on why some jackanapes would spend $2MM for that POS.

Slog Drone vs. SPD Drone.
I think this boils down to the term @3 used: "crucial public service." And yes, while the SPD could perform said services in the guise of stopping crimes, monitoring unruly demonstrations, tracking fleeing perps, and other such salutary actions, let us not discount the crucial public services The Stranger drone could perform: broadcasting images as it hovers over shirtless hotties in Cal Anderson, looks into the soccer team's locker room windows at Seattle U and live-cams the red hot action down in the Arboretum. For these reasons, I advocate an open skies policy.
