I've learned a ton from you on KUOW, here, and love your book. <br /><br />I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts on Seattle's new snow removal policy. :-) http://www.seattle.gov/Transportation/winter_plan.htm I just heard that Seattle DOT hired a new manager for this from Denver, it sure looks to me like they have a clue now.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02316614075009921608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-51199597639231125752009-11-24T06:55:46.988-08:002009-11-24T06:55:46.988-08:00I will always remember the Thanksgiving weekend in...I will always remember the Thanksgiving weekend in 1990 that the I-90 pontoon bridge sank into Lake Washington.

The standard in my family. <br /><br /> I distinctly remember the 83 event due to the two loads of sodden laundry that migrated to Moms house for drying. I think the feast was originally planned for the one home that had consistent power, so we came out clean.<br /><br /> That person already had turkey in smoker so it was a pain free T-day ( except for the laundry migration)<br /><br />I am 4th generation Seattle and I never fail to be amazed at people who are astonished year after year by October winds and November rains. And the disappointment that once again we have a pineapple express created disaster.<br /><br />I do admit, however , that in my olde age I am less patient with the weather. <br /><br />I am sold on this blog for last minute weekend outing decisions.Upupaepopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05840292738185134371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-20035769835388133252009-11-23T19:01:10.376-08:002009-11-23T19:01:10.376-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.camcohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13392796601106698049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-76482115415340568192009-11-23T18:37:22.474-08:002009-11-23T18:37:22.474-08:00Loved that 3 p.m. discussion as well.
