What kind of beer-swillin', hair-dyin', red-hat-wearin', MS-workin' guy would live THERE? Punk-ass.

A great set of photos.

Portland, Oregon is for shut-ins.

Great Neck, NY is for clam lovers. ALso, I hear the weather there is salubrious.

Portland, Oregon is for shut-ins.

Yay!

three months pass...
Reviving because there was no apparent "Seattle C/D" thread and I doubt that anyone reads "I Love Seattle"

Apparently Washington state residents keep leaving jugs of urine on the highways.

Forced to clean up an increasing number of jugs and bags of human waste along highways, the Adams County Waste Reduction & Recycling office took out a full-page newspaper advertisement to combat the problem.

The ad features a photo of a plastic milk jug filled with urine, and the message, "Okay, One last time: This is not a urinal."

From March 4 to Nov. 27, 2002, one Adams County highway cleanup crew picked up 2,666 jugs of urine and 67 bags with human excrement in them.

Is it easy to distinguish human excrement from animal? I can't say I'm that talented.

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHA! And the best thing is, they're STILL using the line "LITTER AND IT WILL HURT", the most bafflingly phrase anti-litter message ever. (We also have an anti-dumping catchphrase that cleverly reads "DUMP NO MATERIAL WHATEVER". Who the hell are they employing to make these brain teasers anyway?)

(thank god I'm nowhere near Adams county.)

four years pass...

Ballard Denny's RIP

I can't believe this is just-below-headline news. And I'm totally desensitized to the whole "OMG BOEING CEO FARTED" ruckuses that frequently occur in the two papers.

Edith Macefield, 1921-2008: Ballard woman held her ground as change closed in around her

Colin M. Saunders, Saturday, 21 June 2008 00:08 (seventeen years ago)

I'm kinda aping a friend of mine's entry about this, but as someone who has a mother that will never leave her house, I have an issue buying into the whole heroism/"standing her ground" narrative that's being built around Edith.

I'm not out to paint Edith in a nasty way at all. But, to me, the story is really sad in that no one was able to reach out to Edith throughout all of this. Was it really for Edith's best that she stay in that house? Edith thought so. But if I were her son, I probably would have been pulling out my hair saying "Mom, god, just move out and take the cold mil! These are your final years! Your mother would have wanted you to do this! I don't care about the money. But you don't realize what you're passing up!"

Then again, I'm not Edith's son. And this probably proves I'm a selfish prick.

Mackro Mackro, Saturday, 21 June 2008 00:59 (seventeen years ago)

I don't care for Edith one way or another, I just like that what was once to be a four walled building now has to have seven.

Also selfish prick.

...

The bank was closed immediately after the robbery and is now cordoned off with police tape.

A manager at Museum Quality Framing, located near the bank, said he saw a Jeep Cherokee pull into a bus stop near the bank just after 10 a.m. A man climbed out of the passenger side wearing what appeared to be a baggy jogging suit and long shaggy dark brown wig, said the man who only gave his first name, Robert.

That's some atrocious lack of editing there.

I wondered what the helicopter was doing down there - it took off for Harborview just as I was walking out to 2nd & Jackson earlier.
