• West Seattle Blog's photos of the sunset over the water remind us that we live in an absolutely stunning part of the United States -- and WSB also reports that something interesting involving fisticuffs (details vague as of yet) went down at Chief Sealth High School.
• Victory tastes so sweet... and failure? Well, resounding failure makes for a great blog entry. B-Town Blog has the details on a Kennedy 61, Highline 0 football game last week. Ouch.
• These are trying economic times, but Subterfuge Seattle comes to the rescue with hints for saving money the fashionable way. Step #1 is to share pants (no, really). Who needs $0.10 ramen noodles when you can share pants?

Seattlest first encountered The Hoopleheads a few months ago when we gave trivia at The Jones a whirl. They beat us, though they didn't win the evening. We ran into them again on August 1 when we hosted trivia at the Old Pequliar. They won outright that evening, and introduced themselves after the contest. By the way, they said, we're working on a Seattle pub trivia website. Great, we replied, let us know when it's up and running.

Saw a bit in the paper today about pet overpopulation in Seattle which sparked a hunt for statistics that was ultimately fruitless. Is there a disproportionately large pet population in Seattle? It's hard to say. Shelters will tell you that as long as they have any stock at all there is overpopulation and at the Seattle Animal Shelter you can get the parents spayed or neutered for free if you bring in proof of purchase (ie an unwanted litter). Doesn't that seem a little too reactive to be effective? How about encouraging people to spay or neuter their animals before there's an unwanted litter?
