Today I got a letter addressed to Roger Downey at the Stranger which is odd, of course, as Roger writes for the Weekly.

The letter is a little sad (its author is ill) but also some lovely sentences:

“Does it seem logical: if the killer whales of Puget Sound go on the endangered species list then Seattle cannot feed them motor oil, cigarette butts, and modified sewage?”

“Why not let the traffic enjoy the view?”

“Next year in Belltown will be the year of the mosquito.”

I wish I got letters like Roger’s.
