Saturday night, a cool fifty degrees downtown. Parked on Western. Climbed the stairs to the market. Crossed the street at 1st & Pike. Something special in the air -- we could feel it.

The Seattle-based U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Healy arrived at the North Pole on Monday as a part of an international scientific mission. The 420' Healy is accompanied by the Swedish icebreaker Oden and together the ships are offically set to conduct sea floor mapping and ice coring exercises, but if you believe that's their only mission than Seattlest needs to clue you into the military significance of the S. Claus Northern Compound. We're just saying, you don't go to the North Pole for ice cubes. The next destination for the Healy is Tromsø, Norway. (If the cartoonish qualities of the map linked in the previous sentence seem odd to you, you should see the plan for the Aftermath of the Iraq Invasion that's hidden away inside the Pentagon.)
