"Jiminy Cricket! If I had some acreage and this was coming up, you know what I'd do? I'd let them park there, by jiminy, I'd charge them x-number of dollars a day," said Aronson." For the record, I h...

Wow, only out this week? Somehow I bought this back in early May, and have been chipping away at it since then. It didn't take long to realize that the book is for the fast-food, microwave-dinner cr...

I was once hightailing on foot through the intersection of Blanchard and Elliot with my destination (foot bridge, I believe) in my sights in the distance. As I was rounding the corner, cutting across...

I woke up a few minutes before and felt it in Anacortes. It was exhilarating, but I have yet to feel one and think "Oh crap, I need to get to safety." Instead, I tend to think "Woah, was that an ear...

Big bummer, esp. after seeing the crowds that the CD parade drew....

Cancelled...so that explains it. I walked on 4th from Bell to Pine and saw nothing until I got to Westlake. There was a sizable crowd, all of whom was likely confused about the lack of a parade. Th...

XP is aspirational in that it stood for (un)eXpected Pinnacle. It all went downhill from that point forward....

Wait, so is this a light-hearted yet independant "we're one of the good guys" notion, or is this a direct slam at Starbucks? Either way, it's pretty cool, but it's effing awesome if it's aimed at the...

Oh, this always happens. One early snow and everyone gets all antsy. Then more October/November rain, with temps dropping consistently that lead to the itchy "before or after Turkeyday?" discussions...
