One minute you’re a Villager, defending your theoretical home with every fiber of your being. The next, you’re a Werewolf, framing your friends and accusing them of wanting to destroy your village, when really it’s you who’s been infiltrating it all along. Each game becomes an epic phenomenon, designed to test your personal judgment and moral character.

    Heard Clay Eals on Morning Edition this morning. That was fun, and a great segment about Steve Goodman and Cubs’ songs.

      Didn’t know about that in advance but a couple people have mentioned it since. We wrote about his Steve Goodman biography years ago -it really is a masterwork.

    Do you know if the 99S closure past the 1st ave exit is over with?  I got an alert from Metro saying that “Transit service has resumed it’s regular routing on southbound Alaskan Way Viaduct.”

    (but i don’t know if that is related to the weekend work some other type of incident)

    • WSB October 29, 2016 (3:33 pm)

      The SDOT alert was apparently wrong in the first place – SB 99 was open to the WS Bridge exit. We noticed this by webcam and then firsthand. So transit would not have been affected after all. Otherwise, I checked the nearest camera, saw some southbound traffic a few minutes ago. http://www.seattle.gov/trafficcams/images/EMarg_Idaho.jpg

Sorry, comment time is over.
