News From Seattle

There really are about 8,000 coffee shops per square mile here.

The orca is the state bird.

Gas is about a week away from being $5 a gallon out here.
Related from New Scientist: "The corn required to fill an SUV tank with bioethanol just once could feed someone in Africa for a year."

Kurt Cobain is still pretty dead.
But Tom Hanks is alive and well. Spotted: pajamas in a souvenir shop with "sleepless in seattle" printed across it, and a landscaping business called "Leafless in Seattle."
