If you're jogging near Shilshole Marina this morning, look for a couple of upended pontoons. The pilot, Roger Collins, was flying from Paine Field to Bremerton when his plane had an electrical short and had to make an emergency landing on Puget Sound. The wheels did not retract and caused the plane to flip on landing. The pilot was not hurt. KIRO has video of him, and he seems pretty calm about the whole thing. Judging from pictures, his plane’s an insurance loss, though. Too bad!

                   

Almost three years ago, we walked around Lake Union for your entertainment. That seemed like it took all day, so this time we rode our bike. Much quicker!
