People in West Seattle traveled downtown, not thinking about what construction impacts would soon make their commute even more fun.

People in Ballard ate cupcakes, secure in the thought that they used to be a separate city, not missing the Denny's.

People in Fremont continued to be the Center of the Universe, and were kind to many tourists, said tourists then decided it was a more fun place than most of the rest of Seattle.

And even people in Magnolia didn't really notice, being more concerned about the clouds overhead.

But who's counting?

Last weekend's excitement was caused by lightning. Last Friday's downtown drama was caused by excessive heat. The Stranger's dilema was caused by a crow.

And it doesn't help when people steal the copper grounding strips off of power poles. Particularly power poles that have transformers on them. So don't do that.

But I also miss Frederick & Nelson, the Cloud Room, I. Magnin, The old City Light Building, the minature golf course at the Seattle Center, that sinister old gay bar on Second Avenue (No, I'm not talking about The Double Header - that's still around - I mean the one further north, next to the Old Ruby Montanna's), Trader Vic's, Visions, and Andy's Diner, so don't mind me.

Wasn't it called "The 611" or something like that? All I remember is getting dragged in their once many years ago by a friend of mine who was working at the old Pioneer Square Theatre for their "$0.25 Schooner Happy Hour" and thinking it was quite literally the scariest, skankiest dive-bar I'd ever been in - and I've been in quite a few, both gay and straight.

I was in there once when they threw a woman out. She looked like the mother in the original "Friday the 13th", and said she was going home to get her gun and come back to "kill us all". She didn't, of course. I waited all evening....

Someone gave you the evil eye ...

And wasn't that cupcake good, @17.

Almost good enough that you don't miss quiet days at Cafe Allegro, back when there were sidewalks all around that block ...

26kv will do that to you. Don't monkey (or crow) around with electricity.
