Seattle Viaduct

Since I moved to Seattle in March 2006 I have been hearing this discussion on what to do with the viaduct.  I have talked to everyone who will listen, but I think this video sums up my view perfectly. Enjoy! http://www.streetfilms.org/flvplayer.swf Via StreetFilms

Random quotes from my visit to the Taco Bus

Tonight Kelly and I wanted a quick meal… and is there anything better than Taco Bus??? As I was waiting for Kellys burrito and my 4 tacos I overheard a couple memorable quotes: Older lady: Do you like to cook?? I know I don’t, I might just drive this bus home!” Mechanic who just got …

Playoff Update — 2008.01.06

Well I was pretty surprised by the performance of the hometown Seahawks. Looks like I may have underestimated them. Can they beat Brett Favre and the Packers in Green Bay next week???
