Chaos in Seattle tomorrow

Well, today's post is a little different. I was going to post about a nice home phone deal from Amazon, but when I went to order it for myself (we need a new home phone. Our current one can't be used when the microwave is in use. Weird.) it had already sold out. Bummer. In case they replenish the stock, here are the details:

Uniden TRU9485-3 3-Handset 5.8GHz Digital Telephone w/ Answering Machine (Refurb) $29.99 Free Shipping

5.8 Digital Expandable System Digital Answering System with Handset Access 10 Handset Expandability (Maximum) Caller ID/Call Waiting Deluxe† - To activate the Caller ID and/or VoiceMail features, you must subscribe through your local telephone company.

This looks like a really nice deal, but they are gone for now. . . .

So instead, I wanted to let the local readers know about the perfect storm of traffic problems in Seattle tomorrow. First of all, The Seattle Sounders FC will be playing a match at Qwest Field starting at noon. Second, the Mariners have a game at Safeco at 1. Third, there will be preparations for the Seafair Tourchlight Parade and Run (it doesn't start until around 6, but my understanding is that they will be closing some streets downtown early and they are expecting around 300,000 people!). And of course, there is always construction. So, there you go. Don't say you weren't warned! (Just go to the Tacoma Rainiers game instead!
