Friday Free-For-All

This week’s debris:

**Sunday daylight saving ends! We get to set our clocks back 1 hour.
Now an hour may not sound like a lot but for me it makes the day seem to last forever!

**CNN changed their format. I liked the old website layout better.

**King 5 TV changed their format. I liked the old website layout better.

**Pandora = way cool! I had heard of Pandora but assumed it was for buying and downloading music.

NOT!

It’s way cooler than that! Create your very own radio station with the music and artists you like…all for FREE!
I currently have 5 stations and the best thing is that along with the artists you chose they will add artists with similar music.

**Earthquakes – Luckily Washington state does not suffer too many earthquakes and of the ones we do have only a few have been earthshattering!

Down in Seattle we have what is called the Alaskan Way Viaduct which suffered damage during the 2001 Nisqually earthquake. Emergency repairs to the tune of 14.5 million dollars was done but it was realized that the Viaduct would have to be replaced at some point…..soon.

Here is the WSDOT website explaining the Alaskan Way Viaduct and Seawall Replacement plans. I fully believe, due to the devastating 1989 Loma Prieta Quake in California, that if our Viaduct is not replaced it WILL come down.

Here is a link to a simulated collapse of the Alaskan Way Viaduct and Seawall. I find it fascinating!

**Yesturday I read THIS.
Which lead me to THIS.
Which brought me back to THIS in a round-about way.

**Remember THIS post last Friday?

Christmas DID come early however time has run short this week and I did not have time to take videos and upload them.

Until Next Week….

Have A Happy & Safe (and full of candy and goodies!) Halloween!
