Are you ready for a weekend of atmospheric river? At least it won’t be freezing. But if you happen to be driving past a blinking red light, here’s a free tip:
You’re actually supposed to come to a full stop and then decide who goes next with stop sign rules. Not barely slow down and almost hit someone in the crosswalk when you see there are no cars. And if that is stop sign rules for you, maybe consider don’t drive anymore?
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. Right now. Right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.
– Antisemites are going to antisemite. Any reason they give is an excuse. Still, the rise in violence and property damage are disturbing.
– Driving will kill you slowly if it doesn’t do it quickly.
– I don’t link to too many national stories, and I couldn’t care less about Hunter Biden, but geez Republicans are giving the game away.
– Congratulations to Burien for finally doing the right thing.
– Get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible. And hey, if you haven’t ordered the free home test kits, here’s a chance.

Good morning from I forgot I was doing an open thread until I was almost at work. Take one off for the holiday, and suddenly you forgot what you do on your commute. Is it too early to tell people to wash their hands? Ot they can get vaccinated for COVID-19 and the flu while they’re at it?

– Seattle has a budget. Where are the impact fees? Guys, where are the impact fees?
– Gosh, I don’t think mailing white powder to election offices when they’re counting votes is a good idea.
– Hey, get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible. And hey, some free testing kits. Might as well take advantage of that. And get a flu shot while you’re making an appointment. Someone has already died of the flu in Washington, so the sooner the better.
Please join us tonight for some pre-Thanksgiving turkey talk and political prognostication over a pint at the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally.

Listen, every city needs a crank or two on the City Council. I would prefer they be cranks in the Sawant mold of far left politics than the Rob Saka mold of anti-transit hyperbole masked as immigrant friendly language. He had to drive a slightly different route to pick up his kids and he compared it to the border wall.
The H line is great, and guy is complaining that he has to go around the block. And now he’ll be on the City Council for 4 years. I am sure that the people who hated Sawant’s hyperbolic statements will push back just as hard on this.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

– Have you been seeing bicycle memorials around town? Here’s what that’s about. Also, oof and some hope from that map.
– Shotspotter is a waste of money and time. If we have the money and staff hours to send police on wild goose chases, I assume we won’t hear about shortages any more.
– Someone take away his phone, or his drugs, or his companies.
– Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible. Book that appointment, and get the flu shot while you’re at it. Easy.
I don’t think people trying to push their way onto light rail trains needs a Marxist analysis. But it certainly is annoying. Just, like, look into the train before crowding to the door. It isn’t that hard even when it’s crowded.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.
