Great job asking some pretty tough questions ("Does the fact that your district is pretty suburban influence your push for somewhat lower density residential development?" in an engaging way that actually got a reasonable answer.

Unlike KUOW's Week in review, finding Blabbermouth to be pleasantly news rich and snark-free. And Rich Smith's *brilliant* "Applebees" observations on ! will have a shelf life. Hysterically accurate characterization. Nice hire.
