Well, That Sucks


Two things, most important first:

1. Wildfires killed three people in Ordway, Colorado, which is located in one of the counties I supported when I was working at Hart. Having spent countless hours at the County Clerk's office, I got to know some of the ladies there pretty well, and I hope they're all okay. I feel silly admitting this, but I kind of want to call them, just to see how they are and tell them they're in my thoughts. Nice as it sounds, it may also be really inappropriate. I don't even work for Hart anymore, and neither do most of the people who were there when I left. In fact, at the rate it's being run into the ground, it's quite possible that Hart no longer exists, and the folks in Ordway forgot all about us anyway. So it might be a bit odd to receive a phone call from me, some old hired hand who hung around and made sure their election equipment didn't fail. Okay, it's settled then. No phone call.

2. BluWater is the place in Kirkland with the good carrot cake, which I've dragged many a poor soul around the K-land waterfront desperately seeking. I discovered the true location of the notorious carrot cake by accident yesterday. Funny how downing six glasses of wine during one's first time in a city can cloud the memory. Anyway, once seated, I quickly learned that carrot cake is a seasonal item at this establishment, and they don't have it right now. So I guess I'll just have to wait until carrots (?) are back in season.



Comments:
'Tis cool you finally found the name of the "carrot cake" place, but I will admit that a small, twisted part of me wanted you to never find it again, so you continually (or as long as you're in Seattle) bring people after people to Kirkland on this never-ending voyage, to the point where we fast-forward to a significant amount of time later and you're dragging across the streets of that town with bags under your eyes and in tattered clothing, pestering otherwise unwilling tourists with a crazed look mumbling "caaaarrrroootttt caaaaakkkeee".

I also have an overactive imagination and am suffering from a severe, momentary lack of caffeine and sleep(I had a 7am meeting this morning in Tukwila), so take all of this with a grain of salt.
