Future Archaeologists

We recently received this note. We can not independently verify the facts, but reprint it in its entirety: Future archeologists have left us a series of Letters from the Future, trying to decipher what we were thinking back in the 21st Century.  We, in their past, will find and investigate the various locations and artifacts which apparently will no longer exist in the future.  At each discovery we will present and perform the appropriate Letter from the Future and try to understand their understanding…

Here's the way it usually works: you see a pothole, graffiti or something else that you want the city to deal with. But, of course, when you see it, you're out and about, so you think to yourself "I've got to email the city about this when I get home." Then, you're home and one thing and another... To help grease the wheels a bit, the city has released a Find It, Fix It app for mobiles phones: "Find It, Fix…

PARK(ing) Day (NOTES)

Explain: Parks are beautiful, green natural playgrounds, but "parking" means you take a giant piece of petroleum burning metal and maneuver it onto a rectangle of asphalt. Makes no sense, right? Well, here's your opportunity to square up the mismatch. From WSDOT: On Friday, September 20, Seattleites can participate in PARK(ing) Day and help to create a walkable, livable and healthy city.

Siphoned Gas

We've got a van that we leave parked near our house by the John Stanford school. A couple times over the past few months, I went to drive it, and was surprised to find the tank on empty, when I thought I had filled in recently. I mentioned it to my wife, who pointed me towards a recent post to the Green Lake Moms mailing list from someone who suspected that their gas tank was being siphoned. So, when I filled…
