WA State to pay $90,000 to see if we can build a bridge out of aircraft carriers

Representative Jesse Young (R) of Gig Harbor has probably the worst idea ever.  He wants to build a bridge between Bremerton and Port Orchard using retired aircraft carriers.  Small problem... we don't appear to have any spare carriers to use.  But that dose of reality isn't stopping Young, who is requesting a $90,000 study to determine the feasibility of the idea.  Here's what that study will say:

Building a bridge out of giant rotting carriers is a horrible idea and would cost a huge amount of money and it probably wouldn't last very long.  It would probably be cheaper to fill a carrier with brand new Apple Watches.  You could do it.  But that doesn't mean you should do it.

Thank you, please send me my check now.

Light Rail Through Shoreline Could Displace Over 100 Homes and Businesses

Sound Transit has warned over 100 homes and businesses in Shoreline that they may lose their property in order to build light rail to Lynnwood.  That's the bad news.  The good news is that we will have light rail to Lynnwood, so that should remove 11, maybe 12 cars from the road!

Kirkland Bans Plastic Bags

In a move sure to annoy anyone trying to shop in Kirkland, the city has chosen to ban disposable plastic bags, and added a fee of 5 cents to paper bags should customers choose to use them.

The law is part of a social engineering effort to get customers to bring reusable bags, which help prevent garbage waste, and have the added benefit of being filled with germs and bacteria from prior grocery expeditions.

Bertha Moves!

Good news.  Bertha moved a whole six feet overnight!

I've moved 6 ft. since last night. Crews are building the tunnel’s 151st concrete ring. Then more digging. http://t.co/RkjICSBgEl

Soon she will be repaired and then we can get on with the business of building a tunnel that nobody wants!

Also, if you are wondering, yes, I was gone for five years.  Let's not discuss it again.
