RatGirl commented on Should We Raise Money to Send Charity Mainville Back to Las Vegas?.

I hate to bring this up but according to the masthead, Charity is not even the Editor, she's the Executive Director. I guess "Executive Director's Letter" doesn't have the same ring...

Thanks Dave. I did hear "Because the Night" so I think we only missed the last two songs. Completely agree about her voice too, it was a revelation.

Dave, just curious... I ended up leaving after Horses and I'm curious how many more songs she played before Rock 'n Roll Nigger?

@ arbeck

I just moved to West Seattle in July and had never commuted from W.S. to work prior to the new Rapid Ride schedules/stops being put in so admittedly I cannot compare it to the old lines it replaces. But yes, the frequency of the busses at peak times does make it very convenient!

Not to diminish Ballard commuters' experiences but perhaps it's just this one line that sucks? I live in West Seattle, just a couple blocks from Fauntleroy, which the Rapid Ride "C" Line travels on before it gets to the Junction and then heads to the West Seattle bridge and onto 99. It takes a dedicated bus lane on the bridge to merge onto 99, which does speed things up most days. Honestly, I find it fast, convenient and comfy (free wifi!). I can get to work (on Capitol Hill) most days in about 45 minutes, and that includes a bus change downtown.

RatGirl commented on Love You to Death, Alice Cooper.

Saw him live a few years ago at the Clark County Fair just outside Vancouver, WA. Having been a fan of Alice for some time I was stunned to see how family friendly his audience was... And these weren't just casual fairgoers who decided to sit down and relax and just happened to wind up in the stands - these were die hard fans. I'm talking grandmas and toddlers in Alice Cooper tees... Bizarre.

RatGirl commented on Today in Affurmative Action.

Actually Goldy, Black Dog Syndrome is a real thing and I'm guessing that's what they're attempting to counteract here with their special "Black Friday" promotion.

Black dogs (and other animals, I'm guessing) are often the last to be adopted for a number of factors. Some of these include:

-fear/superstition about black animals
-black dogs are not as easily photographed (think about online adoption sites) and don't stand out as much in poorly lit kennel areas

Google it and see for yourself. Here's a good link to start with: http://www.blackdogrescueproject.com/bla…

And then go adopt a black dog.
