So farewell then Seattle institution “J.P. Patches,” aka Chris Wedes, who died Sunday after a long battle with cancer. The TV clown became just as big a part of the Puget Sound’s history and culture as the likes of the Space Needle, Microsoft, Boeing and Starbucks, and was universally admired and liked by just about all Seattleites I know.
His unrehearsed and often zany Emmy-winning show, which ran weekday mornings and afternoons on KIRO-TV between 1958 to 1981, along with his motley crew that included J.P.'s masculine-looking girlfriend, Gertrude; Ketchikan the Animal Man, and Boris S. Wort, the "world's second-meanest man,” was often talked of as stuff of legends by those that watched.
His statue in Fremont is apparently fast becoming a growing memorial, according to the local news.

Always a lot of seabirds on the beach in front of Dungeness A & B, as they feed off the "patch", probably this "flock"is made of mostly Black Headed and Herring Gulls, in various stages of moult,plus the odd Greater Black Back, Lesser Black Back, and possibly a Common Gull or two, a bit early for Terns......
Dungeness is a headland on the coast of Kent, England, formed largely of a shingle beach in the form of a cuspate foreland. It shelters a large area of low-lying land, Romney Marsh. Dungeness is also the name of the power station and a few other nearby buildings near the beach, and of an important ecological site at the same location.
Dungeness is one of the largest expanses of shingle in the world. It is of international conservation importance for its geomorphology, plant and invertebrate communities and birdlife. This is recognised and protected mostly through its conservation designations as a National Nature Reserve (NNR), a Special Protection Area (SPA), a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and part of the Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) of Dungeness, Romney Marsh and Rye Bay.
There is a remarkable variety of wildlife living at Dungeness, with over 600 different types of plant: a third of all those found in Britain. It is one of the best places in Britain to find insects such as moths, bees and beetles, and spiders; many of these are very rare, some found nowhere else in Britain.
The short-haired bumblebee, Bombus subterraneus, was last found in the UK in 1988, but has survived in New Zealand after being shipped there more than 100 years ago. It is to be reintroduced at Dungeness. It is planned that the first bees will be introduced in the spring of 2010.
The flooded gravel pits on Denge Beach, both brackish and fresh water, provide an important refuge for many migratory and coastal bird species. The RSPB has a bird sanctuary there and every year thousands of bird watchers descend on the peninsula to catch a glimpse of a rare bird from the bird observatory.
One of the most remarkable features of the site is an area known as 'the patch' or, by anglers, as 'the boil'. The waste hot water and sewage from the Dungeness nuclear power stations are pumped into the sea through two outfall pipes, enriching the biological productivity of the sea bed and attracting seabirds from miles around.
Beach fishing is popular at Dungeness, with the area being a nationally recognised cod fishing venue in the winter.
The name Dungeness derives from Old Norse nes: "headland", with the first part probably connected with the nearby Denge Marsh. Popular etymology ascribes a French origin to the toponym, giving an interpretation as "dangerous nose".
Estoy preparando un pequeño reportaje sobre una protectora de animales de Mallorca, y como macabra curiosidad, entre otras muchas cosas, he sabido que los animales de color negro tienen muchas menos posibilidades de ser adoptados. ¡Hay que joderse!
No lo sabía cuando recogí este precioso puma en un refugio hace un par de años.
My favorite cardigan (Knitting Pure & Simple, made with Bartlett yarn) sprung a hole in one of the elbows when I was on my big trip last month.
It was about time. I have worn this sweater 2-3 times a week for the past 8 or 9 years.
Ellen had the great idea of making felt patches. She found a skein of Ultra Alpaca that was a good match. I knit a really big swatch and felted it. Then, I made templates using the shapes on Microsoft Word and cut.
It's funny how the color of the yarn looks drastically different in these three photos. The one with the sweater shows the color most accurately.
And even better an SP patch was trailing. Oddly enough it looked cleaner than most of the UP engines, but I suspect that's because UP yellow shows dirt more.

So here is just a selection of the badges and patches I have made up over the past month. I really enjoy doing it, just thinking of new ways to incorporate them into other things I'm making.
