I was momentarily wounded in my dentist’s lobby this morning when I came across Capitol Hill described as “a hilarious freak show” in the current issue of Seattle Magazine. Cheap shot! I stopped reading a few pages later where Alki’s bonfire pits are called “first-come, first-serve.” (Those who come first are the first to be serve?)

I was intrigued by SM’s summer podcast, which I’m just digging into. Thus far it seems too easy-listening for my tastes (the Heather Duby track is especially milquetoasty), but sort of suited for this weirdly humid afternoon. What do you think?
