    since I’m working tonight, I went to the event last night at High Point Neighborhood House to see/meet our new Seattle Parks Superintendent Jesús Aguirre; very approachable, good presentation, lots of opportunity for Q/A; and he brought a whole bunch of city Parks staff to answer specific questions; very helpful; highly recommend

    Great pic, Danny! I love how its cocked head and golden eye give it the impression of a tiny, pissed-off eagle. Such a tough-guy expression for a little dude. Wonderful.
