Peekaboo

In and out with the flirtatious sun, but we are wily, and can wait. Nothing much happening, unless you count the mess we are in over the Viaduct that takes Route 99 along the waterfront through downtown Seattle. It's been such a protracted cock-up that I won't go into it. A local blogger named Goldy has been examining it, along with all his comment trolls, on his blog, at www.horsesass.org I like his irreverant, cheeky style. The ideal option, I think, would be no rebuilding of the old 'duct, and lots and lots of transit, with people miraculously giving up some of their wasteful driving habits. (It's possible, I have.) Yeah, yeah, when pigs and other assorted mythical animals fly.
Oh, and I hope to hell the NASCAR track gets deep-sixed. The Hee Haw characters who run that scam of an operation are trying to get Washington State tax money to build a track down south of Seattle. They should go sell Amway, or whatever that crap is called these days.

Give up wasteful driving habits? Yes, when pigs fly, and only then. We're cooking the planet with our wasteful ways, but most people don't want to change. It's a lot of work. We've been following the whole viaduct/tunnel drama, and saw something about the "bitch" drama (from your post below) in the paper. Lots going on there, on the other side of the sound. We're enjoying that little respite of sun we're having.

I used to think the tunnel was a good idea, until I started reading about how there were to be no exits, and it would be built in that unstable area that turns to jello consistency during earhtquakes...
To tell you truthfully, I like the old viaduct. It has a great view.
I think the developers, if given any chance at all, will usurp any waterfront that comes open; public waterfront? Fat fucking chance.
