This and That , More or Less
So here we are in Seattle again. It is raining again...whooppee!
Looks like there are some perks for staying in hotels many nights a year. This week we were upgraded to a two bedroom - two bathroom suite on the top floor with and amazing 3 sided terrace for amazing 3 sided views ( downtown, the space needle and Lake Union ). We even have a huge picture window over the sink in the kitchen AND a full size stove. I could get used to this.
Things I learned on the trip out here this time:
...there is ANOTHER great guy who gave up his aisle seat and take a middle seat so a couple could sit together. These are the people who should get reward points or something.
...a loudmouth blowhard is recognizable in any language
...One can nearly get whiplash while falling asleep while the plane is taxiing to the runway and "falling" forward suddenly. It is also a little embarrassing ;-D
...The shuttle driver forgot me at the market today...I was afraid the people at the drug store were going to have me hauled off as a squatter or at the very least start charging me rent on the space I was taking up in the chair near the door while waiting. sigh. ( his excuse was he was taking two ladies to the same place he was scheduled to pick me up...they changed their minds and had him drop them elsewhere so he forgot he was supposed to get me..he was quite apologetic)
...There was a pile of emergency vehicles sent to the docks across the way this morning. The news was reporting a suspected boat fire...guess if one of those babies blows, they all can go...eeewww. pppssst did I mention I have a spectacular view of the lake?
...the top of the Space Needle is decorated in lights to resemble a Christmas Tree.
Have a fine Evening all

DA, I did not "notice" any Christmas trees at SEA-TAC but I also did not notice the lack there of either. Obviously many locals are not thrilled with this type of publicity.
