Fire danger is abnormally high this holiday weekend.
URGING you to consider firework alternatives:
- screaming “bang! boom!” at the sky
- dropping a stack of large books on the floor
- wrapping a toga around a candle
- play America the Beautiful while combining Coke and Mentos

Susie King Taylor. Another name to remember.

Susie King Taylor served in the American Civil War. Her captain wrote “I regret that you are debarred from having your name on the roll of pensioners as an Army Nurse; for among all the number of heroic women whom the government is now rewarding, I know of no one more deserving.”

Waiting half an hour from 11:00 pm to ??? for a northbound Link train - no announcement, no nothing. Supposedly 15 minute headways. Sad

@typewriteralley @5thAveTheatre Maddening. Note that Pioneer Square heavily promotes driving to Art Walk to take advantage of FREE PARKING. Not a word about buses, bikes, ferries or trains.
