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.
Since my carpool buddy was running a little late today, I decided to stop by the Beef Jerky Outlet (no, not a joke!) to pick up my favorite selection seen here. They also have a great selection of hot sauces!
I bought the 1 pounder today, and I seriously could munch on this stuff all day... it's that good!
I like how the jar looks like it has a little glow in the pic :)

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.
