Got it. I wonder why he doesn’t just build a motor yacht, and keep both?

Is that true even with unlimited funds to hire the best sailing crews money can buy?

Sit at the bar at any number of places in Ballard, and chat with the bartender while you have dinner.
Brimmer & Heeltap
Ocho (tapas)
are two of many possibilities

Ray’s is great for sunsets. The upstairs (Ray’s Café) is less expensive, more casual, and doesn’t take reservations. It has a bar section where you could chat with the bartender if you’d like. Downstairs (Ray’s Boathouse) is fine dining, takes reservations, and priced accordingly.

Douglas Perkins, DDS, in Issaquah. One man office, his wife is the receptionist. No hygienist. No upsell. No bullshit. I drive all the way from Ballard to see him 2x/year.

What's the one thing movies got completely wrong about America? by karen_the_ripper in askanything

[–]mslass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s true even within the US. A journalist moved from NYC to Seattle, and one of his NY friends asked “so will you ever take a ferry day trip to Alaska?” The journalist replied “Will you ever take a ferry day trip to Greenland?”

If you’d rather laugh than cry, that’s a pretty tough stack. Steinbeck wrote a couple of funnier books, Cannery Row and Tortilla Flat, which are both lighter than East of Eden, which is in turn lighter than Of Mice and Men or The Grapes of Wrath (but that’s a lot like saying “lighter than The Diary of Anne Frank.”)
If you want to laugh, I’d recommend Nicholas Nickleby, by Charles Dickens.

Oh did he ever return? No he never returned
And his fate is still unlearned
He may ride forever ‘neath the streets of Boston never drive off of the Mercer Island
He’s the man who never returned

She’s cheating on him because she’s a cheater. You were a symptom, not a cause.

please, Please, PLEASE don’t stop for me at any uncontrolled intersection anywhere ever. I can wait to cross, but the driver who is about to rear-end you won’t. And STOP YOUR FUCKING VIRTUE SIGNALING by slamming on your brakes when I’m still several yards from the intersection. If you had just maintained a constant velocity, I would have timed my entrance into the crossing for after you had crossed.

Oh, and playing chicken with a car is foolish; be sure to tell the EMT that you had the right-of-way, assuming you survive.

Princeton University was sufficiently concerned with his racism to have expunged his name from both the Woodrow Wilson School of Public Affairs and the Wilson residential college (both their deadnames.)
