"Reflections on Old Justice" by Jonathan Hanlon

If you like trucks, if you like the darndest equipment and gear, or if beefy firefighters and/or the color turns you on, grab the family and head on over to Fire Station 17 this weekend! They are having an Open House this Saturday. We live about two blocks from these guys and girls and they really earn their keep; we're glad to have them as neighbors. We occasionally see one come in to buy a snack at the Plaid Pantry on 50th and Roosevelt while we are buying aerosol cheese and print pornography. Every time, we want to hug the living beejeezus out of them --but we don't because it might seem a little forward. Maybe we'll bring them hot soup instead.

The UW became a more urban campus today with the purchase of the Safeco tower. Don't get us wrong; we love the sprawling, verdant expanses, nooks, and crannies of the main campus. However, a properly urban university -- like its students -- should engage with its neighborhood by wandering beyond campus and fanning into the surrounding area.
