During heavy tourist season AND during a once in a generation tourist glut, you'll be lucky to make 10 or 20 miles in an hour. After all the news dramatics about the building traffic disaster, the 101 from Reedsport to Lincoln City was empty enough to go bowling on. Other than a higher than normal amount of slow rear end drivers rocking Washington plates, it was smooth sailing the whole way.

I just read my soap label if I'm in the mood for a morning dose of incomprehensible preach-speak. After all it's like they say -- Cleopatra's Art of Love, evolved Egypt's Civilization 10,000 years back, based on the God-Inspired "ABC of Mama Cat: Automatically, instinctively, each Mama Cat teaches her young ones from the moment of Birth: 1st: Absolute cleanliness is Godliness! 2nd: Constructive-selfish, build, protect and raise food, home, young! 3rd: Absolute teamwork fertilizes God's Earth!

It sure loving does, but it is also like a sensitivity test to help identify your most precious mucus membranes (and avoid soaping them with abrasive peppermint).

twodot posted:Eh, suing city governments creates a weird effect where the people responsible for the action don't necessarily care about the city budget at all, so suits against a city can just be a tax on its citizens with no real deterrent force to change anything. Ideally city officials would care about city budgets, and city voters would hold politicians responsible for the actions of their officials, but the effect gets attenuated even in the best case.

The cops don't want money from the city because they aren't mad at the city, this shouldn't be hard to understand. The way the article makes it sound they probably aren't going to be able to win this anyway.

Washington state probably has the worst laws when it comes to cop killings. You have to prove the cop had "murderous intent" in order for him to be guilty. If there's anything that can be interpreted as a threat to the cop, they basically have a permission slip to kill them.

Well, he was black and he was crouching after they told him to get on the ground... so obviously he's a threat...

So I only heard about this because it got mentioned on the Seattle Kitchen podcast, but it seems pretty cool to me. https://www.strawlessocean.org/seattle/ quote:Leading Seattle businesses and cultural icons have committed to incorporating marine degradable alternatives to single-use plastic straws resulting in the radical reduction of plastic straw consumption in Seattle.
