This blog is turning into half-journal/half-weblog. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Good diversity or just a lack of focus? Who can say?

We managed to find a new way to waste an afternoon in Seattle: Ride the Ducks of Seattle gives you a silly tour of the city and then drives into Lake Union. Ducks (really DUKWs) are those ampibious craft dating back to WW2. I last rode one at the Wisconsin Dells, where a dog jumps across the canyon gap. In Seattle, we rode around town playing disco music and all of us quacking along on our duck calls. A lot of people we passed quacked back, or started dancing on the sidewalk, which was cool. We even drove by Jean Enerson standing outside KING5, but she didn't quack or dance. Get that woman a duck call.
