There's a publication called "Accidents in North American Mountaineering" that I read with similar relish, as a non-climber. More generally, I hope never to be the subject of an article that begins with "Apparently," since that implies I didn't survive to tell the tale....

Happily surprised when Olympia Coffee thrived in a closed Starbucks site in Columbia City. It brings foot traffic & vibrancy while SB drive through on Graham brings car traffic and blight. SB is pivoting to drive through, making $ from ppl displaced from Seattle who commute back at ungodly hours...

My wish list: one sci fi movie with a post-menopausal heroine (can't think of any at the moment). Or really many with older women at the center.

Would love to hear about it. Employees were great but that park was a trip. My son made my favorite comment ever about the food there: "Mama, this food isn't half bad. <dramatic pause>. It's ALL bad."

Like Jefferson, Wilson often fell short of lofty ideals. In particular, after WWI Germans trusted in the 14 points & were shocked when he didn't mitigate the Versailles treaty.
