I'm happy that windstorms are the form of the NW's most common natural weather disaster and not anything else (hurricanes, tornadoes, freezing rain, etc. Yes we get earthquakes but not regularly, at least yet.) because you just gotta know to keep batteries, water, some preserved foods, and sleep in a room away from a crotchety old evergreen outside your window. STILL, everyone knows to not do much of jackshit when a windstorm's sting hits. Fuck riding a ferry. Get a room somewhere instead. It's cheaper than sustaining up to a grand in car damages because of megaswells that knock it around.
Although as a passenger, that must be awesome in a vertigo-addict rickety roller coaster kinda way!

Riding a ferry is like washing a hat.

I offered these photos to the WS Ferry System, but they told me these kinds of shots don't promote ridership. I couldn't argue that one.

Le bien, le mal.
The same day I finally get a new car, I find out that the reason my dog's been breathing funny is that he has a tumor in his nose and needs to be put down.
― The Reverend, Wednesday, 31 October 2007 23:40 (sixteen years ago) link
:(
There's no way it can be removed safely? It's not a benign tumor?
― Mackro Mackro, Wednesday, 31 October 2007 23:56 (sixteen years ago) link
There's no way to pay to have that done. He wouldn't have lasted another week anyways without taking any action, he can barely breathe right now. He's lived well enough. He's a large breed and almost twelve years old. But, all the same...

i am sorry for you, reverend.

Oh Rev :( He's such a great dog, from all you were telling us about him. I'm so sorry.

i will change the subject if that isn't too gauche (still, thinking of u):
there is an AMAZING ballet on, one of the 4 'contemporary classics' pieces. i mean like holy shit good, each and every one of you should see it. it's called caught, it's about 8 minutes long, and it's about the best dance i've ever seen. and i've seen a good amount at this point. i can't recommend it highly enough. seriously people, come down and see it. i'll get you in, just let me know the day. SOOOOOOOOO worth your time.
― jergïns, Thursday, 1 November 2007 05:58 (sixteen years ago) link
Hey Rev. You got my number right? Let me know if you want to chat.

there is an AMAZING ballet on
YES THERE IS!
seattlists, seriously, you should take this opportunity to see some of the best contemporary ballet possible. cannot recommend highly enough.
― lxy, Saturday, 3 November 2007 07:38 (sixteen years ago) link
truly truly - first ballet I've ever seen and now I'm probably ruined for all others. Really stunning and affecting - esp. Kiss and Caught. I'm no fan of Philip Glass who scored the final one (In the Upper Room), but it was fun, full of tai chi and park joggers and fit shirtless guys and cheerleaders. Bits and pieces keep replaying in my head today.
I never thought about people knowing a ballet as well as I might know a symphony or someone else an opera - the idea never occurred - but so many of the audience obviously knew and were thrilled by the first piece (Agon), that the puzzle piece dropped into place in my understanding.

I don't think anyone is going to vote for light rail until they see it happen in 2009. Then people will start supporting it.
I'm more upset about i-960 passing even if barely. hopefully it will be ruled unconstitutional like much of other Eyman's initiatives.
― Mackro Mackro, Wednesday, 7 November 2007 19:19 (sixteen years ago) link
vote for MORE light rail, I meant to say
i think you're right, that once people see it working, and well, they'll (ahem) get on board. that's human nature, i get it, but it doesn't make me hate their lack of vision any less
― jergïns, Wednesday, 7 November 2007 19:35 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm on a campaign right now to make the people I work with see riding the bus as hip and cool and smart and OMG THE BEST THING EVER. Public transit needs cheerleaders and bus mentors to take the "oooo ick scary and inconvenient" factor out of people's minds. I am bummed b/c I didn't get my address change in (from when we moved from Richland) and so couldn't vote (even absentee - Benton County knew I'd moved) yesterday.
― Jaq, Wednesday, 7 November 2007 20:03 (sixteen years ago) link
someone also brought up a really good point. People got stung badly by the Monorail finance disaster so I think no one is going to vote for any big transit project here until they see a prototype or smaller version there already. As much as I don't see eye to eye with their sense of version, jergins, I can't blame them for being distrustful.

Hey, Seattle, I LOVE the bus bike racks, WTG dudes. I would like the bus a whole bunch more, though, without the OBVIOUSLY TWEAKING drug addicts everywhere trying to talk to you/each other by which I mean "yelling across three seats" and talking about who has the best "programs" or how hard it is to sit still when you've been riding the bus all day.
Thx, NYC out
