So I can understand why you would be excited about the police arresting shoplifters. But, while the story isn’t complete yet, it appears that a lot of the arrests are not prolific shoplifters.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

It’s Tuesday! That means the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally will be getting together to converse over some politics and bring in the new year with a toast. Stop by, if you will.
The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally meets every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern (2409 10th Ave E, Seattle) starting at 8pm out on the back patio. Some folks may meet in the back room of the pub.
Chapters of Living Liberally are all over the place…if you can’t make it to the Seattle chapter, there is probably another nearby chapter for you.
