They used to have a free ride zone downtown. Even though the drivers were glad to see it gone so they don't have to worry about whether to tell people to pay when they caught on or off oh, it was nice.

That's a really nice photo. I'm wondering why you don't appear as a blur in it. But I love it!

PS: go do laundry and use an old toothbrush to get the goose shit out off the shoes.

The Bears kick was tipped by an Eagle player so you can't put all the blame on the kicker.

More photo dorkery yes please.

Am I wrong or is your horizon a bit down-to-the-right?

@2 each point along the run is a blend of something like 0.5% runner with 99.5% background: 100 msec of runner out of the 20 sec exposure. (Say 3 m/sec speed, 30 cm person width: ~100 msec time.) The light is bright enough to show even at that dilution.

This is like that webcam long-exposure shot of a plane flying over, streak of light from a light on its belly. Some voices on the internet insisted it was a secret launch from an Oly Pen missile base, because if it was a plane how come we can't see the plane?

Damn straight people taking over the Golden Globes voting.

I think a beaded curtain would be appropriate for Trumphth's wall. You can see through it, it can be quite attractive, if not alluring...oh wait, he don't want alluring.

15 minutes? There's drum solos longer than that.

That photo is a lovely metaphor for the beauty, loneliness, and solitude endemic to living in Seattle. Thanks for sharing it with us.

@5

Thanks!

12

Not news worthy that RBG is absent from the bench for the first time in 25 years... ?

@12 If you are looking for accurate, timely news coverage, you are in the wrong place.

Millennials:
"We couldn’t just show up with a diploma and expect to get and keep a job that would allow us to retire at 55"...
Who the hell ever retired at 55???

@14: Except, that was basically the reality for the Boomers, until they sold out their children and their nation so they could have a few more pennies in the bank when they gracelessly expired.

Quite possibly the worst generation of all time, and most assuredly the most entitled and selfish.

@14:

Anybody lucky enough to have been hired at Microsoft in the mid-to-late 1980's for one.

@14

Me. My father. His father.

@15 Anybody that voted republican in the last thirty years has absolutely no room to whine about who sold out who.

19

14- 52 baby! Thank You Teamsters!!

@18: Thank you for sharing, but I have no idea why you addressed that to me.

22

@20 I think @18 was responding to your comment and telling you that anybody that voted republican in the last thirty years has absolutely no room to whine about who sold out who[m].

Your state weed laws are awful. In California, we order pot on our phones and it takes 20 mins to show up at our door.

24

You thinks that sucks, LJ?

Our Nannystaters (here in WA) won't even let us Adults (21years+) GROW IT.

So Primitive, we've become.

(At least, they don't make pot producers take the Pesticides outta the Pot HERE.
'Cause, Profits?

The average retirement age in the United States among currently living retirees was 59.88 years old. The median living retiree left work at 62 years old, and the most common age to retire was 62 years old. 18.7% of retirees retired at age 62, and a whopping 63.1% retired between the ages of 57 and 66.

62 is currently the minimum age to collect Social Security in the United States while 66 is considered “full retirement age”.

Timmy, my man. Fine work. Side-note: free-transit gets my vote.

@27 Shhhhh he's on a roll.

Me at 55 in March.

My old man retired from the US Army at 50. His old man from the Dairygold/Dairymen's Association at 55. With a nice sweet pension. Remember those?

And of course Mr. Dummy up there is also conveniently omitting the fact that the Republicans have spent thirty years deliberately voting for policies that pushed retirement age later and later... while looting pension funds and stealing from the social security trust.

How do you see through steel?

Trump knows about the Wheel, does he know about ladders? Rope?

@25 yes you are right if I stare only at my bellybutton I will see only my bellybutton. That does not mean the train about to run me over isn't real. It just means that I am only looking at my bellybutton.


Please wait...
