Not in my Backyard
Now Playing: Weird Al Yankovic / Greatest Hits Vol. 2 / Bedrock Anthem

Seattle Mayoral candidate Al Runte stopped by last night and regaled us with tales of neighborhood associations going ballistic over the prospect of Southwest Airlines' proposed move to Boeing Field, residents upset at plans to increase density in their part of town, and a whole lot of folks generally ticked off with Mayor Greg Nickels for promoting development. I've got mixed feelings about some of Nickels' specific ideas for the city (South Lake Union streetcar, anyone?), but putting the brakes on all in-fill strikes me as a bad idea.

How 'bout them Braves, eh? This year's edition of the team isn't one of the greatest, but the fact that they won the division while relying slew of rookies makes it one of the more impressive teams in recent years.

I don't need to be bribed with free trips to a buzz-generating preview screening. Go watch Serenity. Firefly was an excellent if explicit portrayal of the space-as-wild-west metaphor.
