Such vitriol on a pretty, sunny Saturday. Go fly a kite. Really. Do. Suck in some fresh, Gasworks Park air while holding a kite string and be happy with your existence.

Good for you. I'm a dog lover, but if one lunges at your food, or your child, repel it with all appropriate force.

The reasons why people prefer single family dwellings are freedom, flexibility and space. At my single family dwelling, I can play the stereo as loud as I like without annoying the neighbors below me. I can plant a garden that is limited only by my money and imagination. I can raise bees or chickens, and let a dog run around on my own grass. I own a plot of land that may increase in value and can possibly be sold for a future profit. If I owned or rented an apartment (as you espouse), none of this would be possible.

The only difference between Little's art and Chihuly's is the salary paid to the latter.

Rest In Peace, Mike. Say your goodbyes. Brownies are no substitute for science and funding.

Somebody's testicles need to be placed in a Mason jar. And they should offer him prayer instead of anesthesia.

At some point the two "actors" will greatly regret the existence of these tapes. Especially if things get to "sex offender" status. Things are better in memory. Physically burn them while you can. Make it a party and toss them in the fire together.

I can't stand Twitter. I'll stick with the PI for now. Thanks anyway.

camlux commented on What Do You Think of the Bronies Trailer?.

My first reaction was Pathetic weird losers.
My second reaction was: But wait, I'm a Firefly browncoat fan. Some might consider that weird as well.
My third reaction was: Naah! Browncoats on grownups are still cool. Worshiping plastic pony dolls (in many creepy ways) is pathetic and weird.

Two things: I think that man has had his share of strikes. It's prison time now.

That stretch of 75th needs a center turn lane, a single lane in each direction, and bike lanes. Parking if there is room. And it should be clearly painted. Enough of "sometimes there are two lanes; sometimes there is one. Depends on the time of day and how you feel." And why not toss in cameras to help keep the speeds under control. It's working on Greenwood and Rainier.
