There Were at Least Three Car Crashes Last Night, Two of Which Were Fatal and One of Which Cut Power for Hundreds of People in Edmonds: At around midnight last night, a car veered off the pavement near Edmonds and crashed, and "the impact ripped down poles, wires and transformers, knocking out power to hundreds of people within a one-mile radius." In a fatal crash out in Bremerton two hours later, someone suspected of drunk driving drove off the road, where police found the vehicle "literally embedded into the side of the church." And right around the same time near Issaquah, the truck above started flipping over, eventually landing upside down on that fence. Condolences to all.

If You're Still Reeling about Mike Nichols Dying and You Want Some More Reading About Him: There's a great New Yorker profile from 15 years ago that begins:

Once, in the early seventies, Mike Nichols was sitting in a commercial jet as it took off from J.F.K. Moments after it was airborne, the plane went into what Nichols recalls as “an unnervingly steep bank. Everybody looked at each other. Nobody knew what it meant.” The pilot came on the intercom. “We are experiencing—” he began in his best “Right Stuff” drawl. Then, suddenly, he said, “Just a minute!” The mike went dead. In the long silence that followed, the people on the airplane started to panic. A woman a few rows in front of Nichols turned around and looked squarely at him. “What do we do now, Mr. Success?” she said.

Nichols, who has a sharp American wit but courtly European manners, bit his tongue. “All those ‘Mr. Success’ years would have been hard to explain to anybody if I tried,” Nichols, now sixty-eight, says. “What I really wanted to say to that envious woman was ‘Don’t worry: There’s still nothing happening inside me. I’m not experiencing success or anything much.’ ”
