Ah..well, here ya go:

It's a Flatiron-style brick building. Hardwood floors and lathe & plaster. Huge old American Standard "Venetian" cast-iron radiators.

View attachment 9344

Built around 1898 using old-growth timber milled right on the spot. The first floor and a half was an old hardware store that had been there since about 1904. I had a ridiculously long and steep first flight of stairs to go up...then another one to get to the 2nd floor of apartments.

izzat around Rainier? 14th?

Not in my case. I showed my young 'un a video of Cake doing a live performance of "Short Skirt Long Jacket" with the purpose of showing her that not all rock 'n' rollers are necessarily "cool" or "glam" looking. Was successful until the lead singer - John McCrae - uttered a literal "WTF" (in my defense, I had NO idea that would happen, but I should've done a better job of screening the vid).

Wife was not pleased....
LOL! That reminds me of the time I was chaperone on a bus full of Catholic school kids and the Drama teacher thought 'Weekend at Bernie's' would be a funny movie for the kids. I wasn't really paying attention to what the movie was, but got it stopped just before the girlfriend of the dead Bernie guy mounted him. It was so close. lol

A reporter commenting on our riots just used "gobsmacked"! The assimilation is coming along brilliantly.

but..but, it has traffic lights and even a school!

It's a pretty major metropolitan area of about 250,00+ people. ;-)
Google Spokane, WA. It's a beautiful place..now if only they could fix the crime rate and city hall...lol

I always urge people that can't resist taking shots at my faith to ignore me completely. That would make me quite happy

Got hungry, so I made a nice Blue Cheese Burger with Grilled Mayan Onion on Seattle Sourdough's Brioche buns. :)

Shaved off some Quillisascut Raw Blue Cheese from my home state of WA. Friggin' amazing cheese.




Using my oiled Lodge grill pan, I grilled up the burger patty which had been marinated in a pepper sauce and frozen. Also grilled up some Mayan sweet onion. Added the cheese and let soften a bit.

This is the result:




I'd also lightly oiled and grilled the Brioche buns.
Now, I just swiped one with some nice white wine Dijon mustard, pulled off some lettuce and we are good to go!




Yeah, I somewhat deflated the buns by handling them, but they still soft, buttery and good.




Happy in my tummy.....yessir!

To me, hate and anger are wasted emotions and destroy chances of being happy.

Fair enough. Though you do put it out there, brother. I know I can't resist the temptation sometimes. :rolleyes:

Still, duly noted!

As someone old enough to have met Richard Nixon at the '74 World's Fair and also remembers the Vietnam era, this is just a bit sad and trippy:

Governor Nixon Orders 2200 National Guard Troops Into Ferguson
NBCNews.com - ‎22 minutes ago‎

Gov. Jay Nixon of Missouri ordered more National Guard troops into the embattled city of Ferguson on Tuesday to keep order on the second night after a grand jury decided not to indict a white police officer who shot and killed an unarmed black teenager.

http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/mi...-2-200-national-guard-troops-ferguson-n255931

http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/11/26/us-usa-missouri-shooting-idUSKCN0J80PR20141126


C'mon U.S. Gov't, just declare a National State of Martial Law and get it over with.
It's a de-facto condition now anyways the way our LEO's are trained and armed.

My city of 250K has armed drones and a tank for fuck's sake....quit pretending this isn't a police state. It didn't work out for Adolf, now did it?

Sounds like your mad at mad vapes. lol. Did anyone else take advantage of that one cent deal at Apollo? It was two 10ml of juice for a penny promotion. Took it and never heard from them again. Now they have my credit card info.

When I was a newbie (like brand newbie), I ordered an Apollo juice.....yeah, I don't want it even if it's free..JMO

Really? That sucks. I still haven't heard from them yet. I kind of thought the name "Apollo" sounded really generic but two bottles of juice for a penny, I was too tempted.

yeah, right out of the mailbox, it tasted vaguely like chemically turpentine...after steeping for a month or two, it tasted like really bad tasting turpentine

LOL, well if and when I ever get it, if it turns out to be that bad, at least I only paid a penny for it. I can't tell you how many free bottles of juice I've gotten through contests or otherwise that I then never purchased from the company again.

I have a feeling their promotion stunt went viral and now they're obligated to dish out way too many penny e-juices than they bargained for. If I end up never getting it after giving them my credit info I'm going to be all over them like flies on poop.

LOL, you guys crack me up. By the way I'm downloading / watching Inglorious Bastards. Not the silly Quentin Tarantino rip off but the original Italian one from the 70s. I don't know what's making me laugh harder, you mugs or the movie.

my 1st ex-wife used to hate that stuff. said it was "too black"

which is odd, here's my ex:
Mom_and_Genia008.jpg


of course, 30 years later, she listens to hip hop. o_O
Oh, no, that's typical. Not surprised. Of course, hip hop is popular now (with all colors of people) That's why it's easy for her to accept it. Git my gist? The Revolution Will Not Be Televised and Dead Poets Society was so underground only musicians, junkies, gays, hippies and Black Panthers knew what it was. lol, blood
