Seattle

[susandennis]

Bernie, Joe Biden, Hillary, Chelsea and Bill have all been in and around Seattle this week. There's a man stuck in a tree downtown this morning. Twitter is 'sploading.

I drove an electric car for the first time this morning. Fun. It was a fancy damn car. I love my little Smart Car but it has no shocks at all. It can see a bump or a pothole and do a ferocious jerk. There's one particular uncomfortable stretch on a nearby street so I tried that this morning in a fancy car... Smooth as silk. Sigh.

I got a box of Banana Nut Cheerios at Grocery Outlet. I'd never seen them before. I had a tiny bowl of them after my lunch salad and they are pretty damn good. Probably they have been discontinued already.

I watched/listened to the first 5 innings of the Cuba game and might listen to more. The TV coverage sucked giant eggs. They ignored the baseball and just did really insipid interviews of everyone. After a reporter asked the pitcher at the end of a way too long interview 'So, tell me again, how amazed you are at being here?' ... I turned the sound to mute and listened to the radio broadcast which was actually covering the actual game.

I need to clean up the kitchen but I think I'll go make another doll first.

There is a man stuck in a tree?!

Actually, turns out, he's not really stuck, he just wants to be there. Going on 5 hours now. In the middle downtown. It is HILARIOUS.

Google "man in a tree seattle" there's at least one live stream.

Yeah, I figured the ESPN coverage of the game would be unbearable, and I didn't really care much about the game itself, so I did other things.

That anonymous comment was me. I really hate LJ on the iPad.

My android phone does the same thing to me every time.

But, good call on the game. The Tampa Bay broadcasters did the radio and they had some interesting stuff about the stadium and the players and the set up PLUS they commented and followed the actual game.

Even so, I gave up after 5 innings.

Bernie is having a rally at Safeco field this Friday. Doors open at 4PM, so it probably won't impact your schedule. I read that it was "first come" basis, for seating, so they must be expecting a big crowd. I love our city :)

Oh yeah, that news broke this morning. But, right, I have no where I need to be after 9 am tomorrow plus. I do think he's really risking pissing off everyone in the afternoon commute. My money says crowd won't be as big as everything is predicting.
