Somebody on public radio pronounced the name of your mayor-elect today, and now I'm puzzled. Since I don't live near Seattle, can somebody tell me if he pronounces his name "Mick-Jinn" or "Muh-Ghin"? Thx.

Joe Mallahan's not a conformist, Seattle Times, he's an upper-middle-management, Petered-out, buzzword-spouting nincompoop.

The visual of western Washegon vs. eastern Orington is too good to resist, providing the border can be jiggered to give that whole yin-yang/69-ing thing that Vermont and New Hampshire have going on.

Ah—Wikipedia on The Last Supper talks about the symbolism of groups of three:
So breaking the tableau into 5 separate paintings emphasizes the groupings of three apostles, and Jesus (whose triangular pose again evokes the number 3) also needs his own space.
Ah—Wikipedia on The Last Supper talks about the symbolism of groups of three:
The painting contains several references to the number 3, which represents the Christian belief in the Holy Trinity. The Apostles are seated in groupings of three; there are three windows behind Jesus; and the shape of Jesus' figure resembles a triangle. There may have been other references that have since been lost to the painting's deterioration.
