What NOT to do while Chaining

I ran across this article while reading the online version of the Seattle Times. Two guys apparently bored while waiting for snowfall decided to partake in some extra curricular activities alongside I-90 on Snoqualmie Pass, Washington.

Read the article HERE, it’s a “must read”!

Only in Seattle!

During the past month, I have struggled with writers block, running hard and not being able to keep up with my writing of the Trucking Blog. Summer is finally over and fall is upon us. The crisp air of fall brings changing colors, freezing nights, shorter days and knowing winter is only around the corner.

In the light of the moment, I ran across an interesting subject on a local Seattle radio station recently. The story was more about things to do on the last weekend of summer in the Seattle area. One of the events last weekend was the unveiling of the South Lake Union Trolley. Yep, that is what they named it, the official name of the S.L.U.T. What were they thinking? I got quite a laugh out of the radio station mentioning the event. I later read about the S.L.U.T. in the Seattle PI a few days later. The article made light of the acronym and the new trolley itself. Ridership and the jokes seemed to go on for days. Such noticeable accounts and phrases attributed to the Trolley were things such as: Where’s the S.L.U.T.? Does anyone know when the S.L.U.T. arrives? How many people are expected to ride the S.L.U.T.? How much does the S.L.U.T. charge? And more! Oh well, we have to laugh at what our leaders find important or their oversight of the simplest things.

In the next few weeks I’ll be posting winter driving tips, chain laws and start transitioning toward the dreaded winter driving season.

It’s Seafair 2007 in Seattle!

Blue Angels Making An Entrance

The hottest ticket this weekend is the KeyBank Air Show as part of the Seafair activities in Seattle, Washington. This annual event draws thousands of spectators to the banks of Beautiful Lake Washington, east of downtown Seattle. This is the only airshow of the year that the Blue Angels don’t perform over an airstrip. The Blue Angels set up camp at Boeing Field, south of Seattle, and practice over Lake Washington during the week.

Other activities this weekend include the Chevrolet Cup jet boat races on Lake Washington. On Saturday night, fireworks and a concert culminate the months activities and is the height of summer activities in Seattle. More information about Seafair can be obtained by going to the official website, Seafair.com.

The Blue Angels kick off their show at 1:30PM both Saturday and Sunday. Hope those of you in Seattle this weekend get a chance to get out of the truck and take in some Northwest hospitality and a great air show!
