Hey, maybe not so many fireworks, OK?

The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally meets tonight for an evening of conversations over a drink. Stop by if you can. Let’s talk it over.

We meet tonight and every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern, 2409 10th Ave E, Seattle. You’ll find us in the small room at the back of the tavern or, perhaps, on the back patio. 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.

I know actual litigation would drag on and be miserable. But geez. Boeing really deserves a lot harsher punishment than the plea deal they’re likely to take. Honestly, it would be good for company executives to suffer real consequences.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.
