The Sunday paper didn't arrive and our guy is usually super reliable.
Actually, I already did that, when I saw the "Sun" Bowl game from El Paso, yesterday. 35 F and snow.

Driving back on a dreary and cold but dry day yesterday, here's the WSP in action. OR plated Odyssey, no doubt indulging in the freedom of WA speed limits from the strange repressive limits in Oregon, likely forgot the 70 zone ended about 20 miles before this point, and was probably going ~75. They usually give a ~10mph leeway. Bonus, high quality audio - you never know what will be on the radio:
Maybe the Odyssey driver thought he could just "streak" along
When I was younger, a small notorious speed trap town near where my mother lives had a Pathfinder as their trap car. Probably fooled a few people.
It's cold here now, so some places are just slathering the roads with de-icer - no matter that it is also very dry. Like the little hill I live on - tons of de-icer, no moisture. The stuff seems to stick to windshields like glue once it rains. Good enough for government work I guess, no doubt the same group who does such a job with traffic controls.
Speaking of speeding.. I was heading home last night and was admittedly moving along faster than I probably should have been when a 2 door Audi blew by me at well over 100 MPH at the end of one freeway into another.

There will always be another quake and it is good to be prepared, but sometimes I think the alarm ringers own shares in companies that sell prep kits and retrofitting equipment.
I'm not rearranging my life to worry about it.

(not quite far enough though).
The PNW will join China sooner, when "investors" buy up enough prime residential real estate.
West coast real estate snapped by the super rich Chinese millionaires including in Vancouver and BC.
Nowhere in the World is your dirty money safe then in American real estate.
Regarding Bremerton (which can be a nice drive on a sunny day), I think most don't want to be at the mercy of the ferries, as the city itself doesn't have quite the amenities of Seattle. It's a bit of a drive if one doesn't use a ferry, and the closer areas like Tacoma have enough affordable housing to not tempt commuters with a trip to the peninsula. Not a ton of high wage private sector employers there (I think the main one there is still the Naval shipyard), that's a factor too. Definitely a good deal if you want to take the boat - housing is probably 75% less than in Seattle, and a lot of nice prewar middle class homes there.
Hopefully something like this won't happen again - what is paved with good intentions again?
Well, you've said yourself what driving in Seattle can be like...

Also dude man, a Chevy SS vs Caprice PPV comparo is nothing like a Grand Marquis vs cop Crown Vic comparo. Ew!
I love winter tires.

Was able to get down the hill and drive a bit between 1 and 5 pm. Gonna be messy overnight but hopefully the clouds will keep the heat in a bit and melt the roads early.

Reminds me of Koyaanisqatsi. Guess these must be all over YouTube with the GoPro cams everywhere.
