Travel Update...and Political Scum
More things I've learned from this trip.
Seattle has traffic which is almost as bad as Atlanta's. It's horrible when it rains, which means it's horrible most of the time.
The pancake house at the hotel is wonderful, but a little pricey. Luckily, guests get $2 off cards, so it makes it very much worth while.
Not a bad hotel. There's a jacuzzi in the room. I enjoyed it last night, and I'm going to enjoy it again tonight.
This is a beautiful area. I took a drive east this afternoon, and found a town called Sammamish. It's on a lake, it's quite pretty, great houses (that are probably scary expensive). It reminded me of some of the small towns around lakes in Michigan.
Is there anything more boring than eating dinner alone in a hotel room?
Now, for a Political Scum announcement.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I have found Scum heaven. It is the 2nd district of Louisiana. There, the electorate looked the other way as they re-elected William Jefferson. Mr. Jefferson is famous for keeping his excess cash in a freezer. He will probably soon be indicted on bribery charges. But the voters of Louisiana obviously missed out on this information, or just didn't care. So, they get what they get.
Luckily, speaker-to-be Nancy Pelosi has already said that he won't be sitting on the powerful Ways and Means committee. I'm not sure what he'll be doing, but it will probably involve him looking over his shoulder continuously waiting for his friends from the FBI.
