Yea, at times I miss Seattle, but I think what I miss is the memory of the old Seattle. Pre-apocalypse Seattle.


Exactly how I feel.

When I was in IT I bicycle commuted to my work location. I lived in Bellevue, Mercer Island, Renton and Kent during the last 20 years I was there and bicycled to Boeing in Renton, Nordstrom and Washington Mutual in downtown Seattle, B of A in Tukwilla, T-mobile in Bellevue and Safeco in the U District. It kept me in shape, but it became too dangerous, thanks to cell phones and, especially, texting.

When I visit the old areas now, they are all just way too congested and, well, not very friendly.

In general I am not in favor of ONE MORE law or regulation to infringe on anybody's liberty. But I am forced to agree, the blood-chilling absent-minded stupidity I see on my daily commute caused by cell phones is terrifying. Vehicle moving forward at 45MPH and eyes down. The worst offenders are, not surprisingly, Millenial women.
