146 年之後, 明天就是 Seattle P-I 的最後一天印刷版了. 也許買份留個記念…如果能買到的話!!! 網路版的 P-I 還會繼續… The pioneering P-I slips into the past Seattle P-I to publish last edition Tuesday Last edition of print P-I set for Tuesday, Hearst says Side Note: State’s jobless rate shoots up to 8.4% in February Snohomish County’s unemployment rate rises to 9.9 percent Many teens report alcohol use; is yours one of them?: “Drinking remains a problem for nearly one in five 10th-graders both in Snohomish County and across Washington, who report having five or more drinks in a row at least once in a two-week period.” US births break baby boom record, topping 4.3 million; 40 pct of babies born out-of-wedlock

昨天回家到了通勤停車場就見到警車在那裡閃著. 還有一位先生在那裡填單子. 雖說還是可以看到地上的碎玻璃, 只是沒有親眼看到玻璃被打破的車子. 因此也不能假設什麼. 應該換地點停車了嗎?

But at a current level of $820 million, the fund is well positioned to meet its obligations now and for years to come, Martensen said. In any case, state law calls for the state treasury to cover payouts if the fund ever runs short.’ More owners losing homes Free recycling for your old electronics

去年八月發生了車窗被打破的事件. 今天回家就見到警車燈在通勤停車場那裡閃著閃著. 一路往自己的車方向走去, 並數著地上的碎玻璃. 數著數著已經超過十輛車子的車窗被打破了…距離自己的車子還有一半的距離呢! 不想再數下去了, 只希望車子沒有事. 放慢了腳步, 似乎不想知道答案… 看到車子的一邊了, 似乎一切很好. 走到另一邊, 玻璃也沒有破. 也許車子停在人車出入較多的地點. 還好, 今天逃過了一劫. Until next time… PS: 隔天和 Sound Transit 的工作人員談了一下, 大概約 30 輛車子的玻璃被打破… 今天的停車場空曠了許多. 再這樣下去就沒有人要來這停車通勤了. Side Note: Local real estate: few sales, falling prices
