Good morning from I forgot I was doing an open thread until I was almost at work. Take one off for the holiday, and suddenly you forgot what you do on your commute. Is it too early to tell people to wash their hands? Ot they can get vaccinated for COVID-19 and the flu while they’re at it?

– Seattle has a budget. Where are the impact fees? Guys, where are the impact fees?
– Gosh, I don’t think mailing white powder to election offices when they’re counting votes is a good idea.
– Hey, get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible. And hey, some free testing kits. Might as well take advantage of that. And get a flu shot while you’re making an appointment. Someone has already died of the flu in Washington, so the sooner the better.
Please join us tonight for some pre-Thanksgiving turkey talk and political prognostication over a pint at the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally.

Listen, every city needs a crank or two on the City Council. I would prefer they be cranks in the Sawant mold of far left politics than the Rob Saka mold of anti-transit hyperbole masked as immigrant friendly language. He had to drive a slightly different route to pick up his kids and he compared it to the border wall.
The H line is great, and guy is complaining that he has to go around the block. And now he’ll be on the City Council for 4 years. I am sure that the people who hated Sawant’s hyperbolic statements will push back just as hard on this.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

– Have you been seeing bicycle memorials around town? Here’s what that’s about. Also, oof and some hope from that map.
– Shotspotter is a waste of money and time. If we have the money and staff hours to send police on wild goose chases, I assume we won’t hear about shortages any more.
– Someone take away his phone, or his drugs, or his companies.
– Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible. Book that appointment, and get the flu shot while you’re at it. Easy.
I don’t think people trying to push their way onto light rail trains needs a Marxist analysis. But it certainly is annoying. Just, like, look into the train before crowding to the door. It isn’t that hard even when it’s crowded.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

– I support the Providence nurses.
– Burien, man. What are you doing? Just, just take the money. Also, I don’t see how the city manager gets through this.
– Disappointing to see Gluesenkamp Perez and Schrier on the list of people who voted to censure Representative Talib.
– Hey, hey you. Wash your filthy hands right now. Right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible. Pair it with your flu shot. Go make that appointment today!

It looks like the election was good for Democrats. But Seattle will get more conservative. At least the housing levy passed easily.
It is election night! Priority one is getting that ballot to a drop box. And priority two is stopping by the Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally for some politics and good cheer over a drink.
