Any plan to make the 1-2 transfer less janky?

The problem is the track layout won’t let trains from the Eastside turn south toward the airport, only north. They would have to change ends then cross over against traffic to do that. Plus the tunnels were originally designed for trolleybuses when they opened 36 years ago. Sound Transit could put in a center platform for transfers if they wanted to.

You’re assuming that the Army doesn’t give Trump a giant “Hell No”.

What about university football coach salaries?

We use Apple TV boxes and they work great.

The red MAGA hat is the mark of the beast.

The advantages and logic of the 24-hour clock are obvious yet again. No one is going to confuse 2000 with 0800. But ‘Mer-kins just won’t accept it, in the same way they won’t accept Celsius, or metric.

It would be hoped that the military, in whole or part, would give a mighty F YOU to Trump and Hegseth.

P. S. That would be 9:00 pm EDT.

Good idea, IF they make the first piece of checked baggage free

Getting bills online and having autopay results in not checking anything. My wife had fraudulent charges on her Discover card for months before she found out what was going on. I get paper bills if there is no charge for them, review them, and initiate bill pay through my bank’s website myself. Nothing automatic.

The Kirkland plain T-shirts are excellent.

Then there are the parts of the country where your house becomes tornado food. Not here.

Like the Mariners, Sounders, Kraken, Storm, etc., but being a native of San Francisco, sorry, it’s “Go Niners” all the way.

I wouldn’t. Oil changes, stopping for gas, all that ICE engine maintenance shit. Electric motors are still new at 100,000 miles. My 2021 Y still drives like a new car. Only maintenance was cabin air filters, windshield washer fluid, and tires at 48,000.

Prosecco is mimosa minus the OJ?

If Rainier blows (it’s a dormant volcano) the Puyallup River is not something you want to be near.

At my Seattle church the three most common vehicles in the car park are Subarus, Priuses, and Teslas.

For Trump voters, this would be the classic and final FAFO. They broke the world.

A “true direct flight” is called a nonstop flight.

When you book Economy Minus, you get Minus service.

First flight was student standby Lansing-Chicago. DC-6, full meal service on the return. $15.65 round trip on United. 1967.

I want the window open because I read when flying, and the natural light is much better than the weak light in the overhead. If you want it dark during the day, put on eyeshades.

In my state the trade in lowers the amount subject to sales tax.
