I decided to limit my visits to the Kitsap Peninsula after the new Narrows span was built because, frankly, the cameras bother me. The ones on the ferries are bad enough.
It's a good thing for me I don't need to go to Medina, since now I won't under any circumstances. Where I go and what I do is MY business.
Yeah, whatever. That's why I just spent more than my insurance company did for preventative screening for melanoma, NOT because I'm a sunfreak or a tanning bed junkie, but because of my skin type. I know very few people (I can count them on one hand) who're irresponsible with their health and/or expenses. And if competition is so good, why hasn't it worked so far? Ten years ago I never had to worry about if I could afford health care. Now, I'm worried if I can keep it, much less afford it.
Seattle has some serious issues, and Nickels hasn't done anything I can see to resolve them. Most important in my mind are homelessness, affordable housing, traffic problems, and attracting small business. I used to love working in Seattle, but after a decade things are getting worse, not better. I'd rather live in downtown Bellevue...it's at least walkable and attractive.
Will be voting against. We have enough of a budget gap as it is....this is the worst time to be doing something like this.
Weather Underground radar shows a nice big hunk of precip coming northeast from Shelton and then the northern band sinking down from Everett. When they say "converge", this looks like the two will join right over Seattle metro from around Federal Way in the south to Everett in the north.
Here in Bellevue it's still 36 with sunbreaks running about every ten minutes.
But I'm just an optimistic amateur. We have the weather crowd on TV, NWS and the blogs for the expertise.
I sure hope you're right, You. I normally work in Redmond but decided to work from home today to avoid the nasty commute. Since I'm too old for Santa, do you think Mother Nature will make my holiday dream a reality? ;)
So horribly disappointed. This has been a seriously crappy week for work and I was really looking forward to a good dose of snow to cheer me up. Here in Bellevue it's cloudy, very very windy, and 37 degrees. We've had exactly two rounds of "snain" today, each lasting less than five minutes.
Sigh. Maybe this weekend, but I ain't betting on snow anymore. Nothing like getting your hopes up and then having them crushed against the CZ wheel.
Totally agreed! He's the guy who engineered the idea of taking on higher risk in exchange for higher premiums. He's the biggest criminal of all.
Why'd they keep Schneider? That guy is the WORST, second only to the combo of Killinger/Rotella. He was arrogant, rude, and was a major player in the policies that created the garbage that's now held in the mortgage portfolio. "Risk management"? Paugh!
