Remember that incident up in Lynnwood where the kid died after drinking meth bong water? Apparently this man in Lewis County has some kind of death wish for his wife and nursing infant, or (more probably) he doesn't read the news. He gave his unwitting wife a glass of water spiked with meth to help her summon up the energy to do household chores--and then, in a strikingly strategic move, talked about what he'd done on the phone while in jail on other charges. The first person to spot an anti-meth-water public service announcement on TV wins a lifetime's worth of a sense of grim resignation to humanity's stupidity.

Special thanks to YouTuber acatron for captioning the locations. WSDOT says the water is still rising, though it's supposed to crest sometime today, and at this point estimates that I-5 will remain closed through the weekend. The flooding is also covering the train tracks, so Amtrak is not running between Seattle and Portland either. I-90 through Snoqualmie Pass remains closed, with no ETA on reopening. This photo gives an idea of the work remaining after the roads are cleared.

Yes, we think you will be able to spare some change, should you get panhandled by a newly-homeless Napavine family.

When we heard about the Lewis County central services director who oversaw the installation of mobile computers with instant message clients in police cruisers and then used the system to make sexy time with a dozen different cops we thought the resulting IM logs would make for fascinating reading. Wrong. Not only is it hideously embarrassing, it's boring as hell and the backwards reading PDFs are awkward to read. There are a bunch of affairs and Patti Prouty the director invites half the force over to her place at one time or another. There's even sex of the textual kind, but it's mostly just a bunch of real life stuff like "im tired" and "computer's down again."

If the 7,500 seat indoor rodeo arena that a group of businessmen in Centralia are proposing gets built, Seattlest will be there on opening day, ringside, or, uh, whatever you call it at a rodeo. They want public money - We'll gladly pay it (screw you Sonics). We could be way wrong on this, but in Seattlest's mind a 7,500 rodeo arena doesn't contain any luxury boxes. It's all bleachers, right? Let's not pretend that b-ball in Seattle is at all "urban" (and things would have been particularly dire if Key Arena got renovated and ticket prices shot up). You cannot deny that rodeo is as country as agriculture, ranching, property rights initiatives, cultural conservatism... Alright, fuck those last few, but rodeo is Good Country. Like the Fair, which we are going to this weekend.
