August 2010 - WSDOT has started paving new carpool lanes on I-5 that will help ease congestion this fall in Pierce County.
The stimulus-funded construction project is 70 percent complete and is on schedule and on budget. Since the project began in August 2009, crews have completed widening in the median and outside shoulders, built new I-5 bridges and installed high-performance barrier in the median.
The new HOV lanes are scheduled to open to traffic in October.
Cold rainy morning on my way to work. The sun glasses don't really make things darker as they're polarized lenses, so they actually bring out the details. It's like wearing an Unsharp Mask realt-time filter.
That's all I can say. Actually, I can say that this picture, which was taken to demo the picture quality of the w800i, demonstrates that night mode is not its forte.
It's Saturday morning, November 1, 2008... the last days of this election campaign, some are feeling worn out and are concerned to say they just can't give anymore... then there is an event like today that was so different, so refreshing and invigorating... Danny Devito, Rhea Perlman and Jon "Bowzer" Bauman toured Southeast Florida venues, encouraging people to vote early for Barack Obama, for people to get out the early vote for Barack Obama and to get out the vote on election day itself for Barack Obama. What was really amazing was that Devito, Perlman and Bowzer ended their events by actually driving people to the polls to vote if they had identified themselves as not having voted yet. So, after leaving the Cocowood Lakes Clubhouse, the carpool rock-n-rolled all the way to the early voting polls at the Public Library on Hagan Ranch Road in Delray Beach.
Standing at 4' 1", Danny DeVito is ten feet tall in my book. He is an actor, director and producer, that we all may best know him from his character, Louie De Palma, on the TV series, "Taxi". You've also seen him in wonderful films like, "Romancing the Stone", "The Jewel of the Nile", "Ruthless People", "Throw Mama From the Train", "War of the Roses", "Other People's Money", "Tin Men", "Twins", "Junior", "Batman Returns", "Renaissance Man", "The Rainmaker", "The Big Kahuna" and his appearnaces on Saturday Night Live. Right now Danny plays the character Frank Reynolds, in the hysterical sitcom "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" on FX which once you take a look at, you'll have so much fun that you'll be hooked. Danny DeVito is also an outspoken Democrat and supporter of the OneVoice Movement, a non-profit organization that strives to empower moderate Israelis and Palestinians to take a more assertive role in resolving their conflict.
Rhea Perlman, an active and outspoken Democrat, has received ten Emmy Award nominations for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series "Cheers", winning the Emmy four times. She starred in the sitcom "Pearl" and was featured in the TV drama "Kate Brasher". Rhea played Jacqueline Kennedy in the TV film "How to Marry a Billionaire: A Christmas Tale", the character Honey in the hilarious film "Canadian Bacon", the grumpy shopkeeper in "Packin It In" and she also played opposite her real-life husband Danny DeVito in the film "Matilda". Right now you can see Rhea Perlman in the role of Bertha in the West End of London, in the comedy "Boeing Boeing".
Jon "Bowzer" Bauman was a recognizable member of the group Sha Na Na, singing barritone as he taunted the audiences while flexing his muscles. Bauman currently tours extensively with his group, Bowzer and the Stingrays, performing at fairs, amusement parks, cruise ships and conventions all over the world. They currently headline "Bowzer's Ultimate Doo-Wop Party."
Talk about inspirational... this event was so out of the ordinary and so special because these incredible celebrities took so much of their time and made so much of an effort to convince undecided voters to get up and go with them to the polls and cast their vote for Barack Obama.

Seen in the parking lot at the Hemer Lung Clinic in Germany. The sunglasses on his lap totally cracks me up.

April 2010 - Crews are constructing a solider-pile wall along the 54th Avenue on-ramp to southbound I-5.
Work started in August 2009 on this project to extend the Puget Sound HOV system into Pierce County. Crews are widening the freeway in the median to accommodate HOV lanes, or carpool lanes, in both directions of I-5 from Port of Tacoma Road to the King County line. Construction continues through 2011.

Me, Dave and Pat (he of the thousand-yard stare) at Carpool in Ballston. Dave was in town for a few days, and this was Pat's pool league night, 8/21/06.
Contestant in an offensive t-shirt contest. I think she should have won. (You should have seen the front.)
We have two cars in our household. Thom and I carpool together to work, and we drive the "new" car, a 2004 Honda Accord. Our second car, a 1997 Toyota Corolla, mostly stays in the garage except for some local driving. It's pretty banged up, has a weird paint job, crooked antenna, trunk that is held closed with a bungee cord, etc.
Thom was pretty convinced that this year it would fail inspection. Not unreasonable, considering the bungee cord across the license plate! So, he just didn't take it in. And didn't take it in. And didn't take it in.
Finally, since the sticker was due to be replaced back in October, I brought it to the local dealership where we have our other car serviced. I figured that when they failed it, I could immediately go to the body shop and get an estimate on having it repaired. Then we could decide if it was worth the money to have it repaired, or if we'd need to replace it. Thom's vote was for replacing it, without even knowing the cost of repairs!
Miracle of miracles, it passed inspection. Probably shouldn't have, but it did. So, much to Thom's chagrin, we can get another year out of the beater car.
