We’ve thought about West Seattle but we like big trees and hiking on cougar mountain.

That’s pretty much both my brothers and I - down to neighborhood. They picked West Seattle and I drove south until I could buy a house (read: Renton).

In both though, Seahawks still win SB XL

My parents picked unincorporated King County in what would become Bellevue instead during that same period. Eastside youth v West Seattle childhood my version of sliding doors I play in my head.

I came to say the bro has also never met an Australian Shepherd or a Husky.

This is true even for presidents I vote for. I take ten minutes to read the speech vs listen for an hour.

God speed sir. May the samples be plentiful, lines short, and the hot dogs cooked to perfection.

@davidjroth.bsky.social and @drewmagary.bsky.social - great pod! Curling also like golf in the if you try it, make one great shot, it’s easy to get hooked. I’ve gone twice and had one perfect draw around a guard to the button. If the club wasn’t 2 hours away in weekday traffic, I’d be a regular.

Surely @craigcalcaterra.bsky.social can do something incredible with this.

I refuse to believe you weren’t in that territory before. Sub β€˜old’ for β€˜office space’. I’d go Beverly Hillbilly but thats just me.

No, but now imagining a little chihuahua riding a rock down the ice, sweeping in front as she goes.

This is fun. Honestly not sure on three. I never saw Easley play, but my gut says him or Hutch. Earl, Kam, Bobby, and Largent in some order on the next tier. Then Shawn and Shaun. Russ, Matt, Tyler. Then Sam.

Well that all depends how loosely the hat is resting atop your head when measurements are taken! If he went folded upright rally cap style, he’d break 6’2”!

I read it and kept waiting and waiting for to explain what it actually was and….you know the rest.

Bob overestimated the class though because while he usually read all 4 answers, he determined this simple enough he need not bother. After the question, he read only one answer: C, stop and then moved on. More than one person insisted on hearing the other answers. I wish I was making it up.

My favorite drivers ed anecdote though is a knock on the class not Bob. Each class would end with a multiple choice quiz which he would read aloud. One week, one of the questions was β€˜when you come to a stop sign you must and then fill in the blank

Bob my was drivers ed teacher at sears driving school for me and my brothers (by coincidence, not design - good enough for the oldest, good enough for the rest). He was, the closest thing to the epitome of β€˜Flowers on the Wall’ I’ve ever met. And a nice man a d perfectly fine drivers ed teacher.

The minute my children heard about this, I knew it was a forgone conclusion that we’d be going.

Beastmode instantly the best brake man in history once he steps on the ice.

Other than claiming OG fan cred, you didn’t miss anything. Bad sight lines, crappy food, and not enough bathrooms. On the plus side though, did have a big picture of Sam’s grandpa.

There’s a MAGA house in my neighborhood that has taken down their flag. Evidence of nothing but vibes but….yeah.

Can we leave the few hundred original words, if only so we can see the editors notes?
