Random Act of Kindness.
Thanks for a bit of good news this week, even if it is a bit fluffy. It's refreshing to hear about politicians actually interacting with their constituents.
@4, it must be gratifying to always feel so superior.

24 Hours from Now.....
Who knew that the Avant Garde typeface could be chopped into lines so elegantly? Some graphic designer in the 80s, that's who.

Optimism in Godlessness.
Nice interview! I hope the author appreciated your thoughtful and informed questions. Even if I weren't a jack-Mormon with ties to Idaho, I would be compelled to pick it up.

If You're Having Trouble Hailing a Cab Right Now....
I use Orange and Yellow cabs as frequently as the next tipsy responsible driver, and have almost always had great experiences. I usually ask to sit up front and then have a conversation with the driver. Most are from far-off places and have amazing (sometimes heartbreaking) stories telling how they ended up in Seattle. I've never felt ripped-off, though it just occurred to me that perhaps I'm an obnoxious passenger, so they'd rather rush me home than endure a longer ride. The few bad experiences were racist white guys who assumed I would share in their hatred.

The Right to Bear an Arsenal.
@17, maybe the true nuts are more afraid of other people like themselves, unstable and armed to the teeth. The rest of us are collateral; the "government" is an excuse (and the enabler) to continue the civilian arms race.
