– I moved to the Seattle area as a kid, and sometimes I get very confused about what we’re nostalgic for. Burgermaster? I guess.

– Get pasteurized milk. Raw milk? Do you even know what a cow is?

– Monday’s thread was about the special election, but reminder: cast your ballot, preferably for 1A if you’re in Seattle, by February 11.

– Man, Burien. Don’t be homeless isn’t a solution to homelessness.

– Anyway, today is a good day to contact your legislator or member of Congress.

Drinking Liberally — Seattle

DLBottleWe’re back to Tuesday. That means the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally will gather at the Roanoke to engage in conversation, celebration, commemoration and commensuration over a cocktail. Stop by, if you can.

We meet tonight and every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern, 2409 10th Ave E, Seattle. You’ll find us in the back room of the pub. We start at 8:00pm.

Chapters of Living Liberally are all over the place…if you can’t make it to the Seattle chapter, stop by another chapter near you.

Washington state people, there are local special elections. Many, but not all, jurisdictions are having elections. If yours is, you should have received your ballot. Get it dropped off or postmarked by February 11.

In general, I hope you support levies and bond measures. I don’t know the details in your area.

I also hope if you’re in Seattle, that you vote for 1A. It’s not the solution to homelessness and affordable housing in the city, but it is an important step, and a better plan than 1B.

Friday!

A long time ago, back when buses ran in the Transit Tunnel, I was going from Pioneer Square to Convention Place and just got on the first bus, that happened to be at the end of the route. I got on and the only other people were the driver and a couple sitting in the very back. The man was playing a ukulele to the woman. Fantastic.

This moment, back when buses ran in the tunnel, back when there was a Convention Place station, is the last time I was charmed by hearing someone else’s music on public transportation.

But now? Every other ride someone is playing music. It’s very annoying. The other day, it wasn’t just a phone without headphones, but an actual speaker. Fucking hell dude. And sometimes I have to hear your podcast, with commercials? I’m advertised to enough on public transportation without an annoying ad for mattresses or whatever.

Sorry now for the sudden tone shift, I’m trying out a footer. Hey, today is a good day to contact your member of Congress or one of legislators.

More people biking the Fremont Bridge. You guys. I don’t know how much that’s people coming back to work Downtown and how much it’s bike specific.

Amazon workers taking the Interurban Trail to work will probably boost that this year as they’re required to work from the office. I have mentioned that I haven’t noticed a huge uptick in people in coffee shops around Amazon; I also haven’t noticed more bikes. Yet.

Anyway, it’s cold as fuck, go warm up.

– Have you been waiting for the state rebate to get an e-bike? Well good news, come April you can get it.

– District 2, so many candidates.

– Man just the other day I saw a driver run a red and almost hit a blind man. Imagine feeling so entitled to do that that you get out of your car and attack them. Seriously, if any of you fuckers feel like that, give up driving.

– I have many problems with Clarence Thomas, but you have to admit he has expertise.

– Still working on an outro for openthreads. Tootles? G’Bye. Just back to wash your filthy hands without the COVID-19 link? You should wash your hands still. I’ve used enough men’s rooms to know many of you aren’t; Maybe something Bob Ferguson specific?

Help! I am broken in ways that science can’t fix. I fucking love every story about municipal composting. Who makes such a person?

Anyway, today’s delightful entry in Carl has a problem is Spokane. What declares itself biodegradable and isn’t feels like a great annoyance. And probably a growing concern. I don’t know what is to be done.
