Until this [...] Thanks to the excellent Rainier Valley Post, I discovered that neighborhood hiphopsters The Blue Scholars had put up a video they shot during Snowpocalypse 08. Longtime readers might remember that I posted another Blue Scholars video (Joe Metro) that showed some of the depth of Seattle and some scenes I know too well. I [...] Chris’s handiwork Originally uploaded by Nikchick. Seattle’s the kind of place where we get snow once a year or so.

I still feel [...] I’ve been trying to keep my head down and out of politics lately, just too much on my plate. However, with the elections coming up (and having received my voter’s pamphlet) I decided to try to make sense of the Big Issue of this election in Seattle: Sound Transit/RTID Proposition One.
