I have seen only 3 flags in my neighborhood and one of those is mine. It is disheartening to say the least.
So often I feel as though I am an alien being who just dropped in via flying saucer, and am trying to make sense of these strange creatures who live here....and this is the city where I was BORN.
"sigh"
Not a problem. I built my own, 27 feet tall, with a 4x6 on top that flies 365 days per year.
I was being facetious about the doggy seat.
I woke up this morning and thought what about the elderly who shrink in height and lose weight. Are they going to have to ride in booster seats? I would guess so. I hope medicare will cover this expense for them. Sure glad I am so tall that I will surely never shrink to 4’ 9”.
LOL!!!!!!
That’s because they want to shoehorn all of you folks on the coast into “mass transit”. That would alleviate rush hour(s) traffic jams, don’tcha know? One of the things that I noticed after working I-5 for 10 years was that on govt holidays that private enterprise ignored, traffic was considerably lighter, indicating to me that govt workers are the main cause of traffic congestion, at least in King and Pierce counties.
Now, a huge chunk of my work day is at my shop at/in Home, and I can take my dog swimming around the corner during breaks.
I'd throw it all away for a good union contract though ( /dripping sarcasm & LOL )
You anarchist, you. I know all about the history of Home. LOL.
The Narrows bridge. Don’t get me started.
The monument to the “radicals” is a block and 1/2 away from me, but these days the radicals taking over the place are Conservative Christians...well, at least one so far... ;~)
The following is from the Washington State Booster Seat Coalition web page and it clearly states that after 8 years of age you do NOT need a booster.
KEY PROVISIONS of Washington’s Child Restraint law:
. Children under 13 years old be transported in the back seat where it is practical to do so.
. Children up to their 8th birthday, unless they are 4’9” tall (which ever comes first), must ride in a child restraint. (For example a child car seat, booster seat, vest, or other restraint that is federally approved for use in the car.)
. The restraint system must be used correctly according to the car seat AND vehicle manufacturer’s instructions.
. Vehicles equipped with lap-only seat belts are exempt from the requirement to use a booster seat.
. Children 8-years of age or at least 4’9” who wear a seat belt MUST use it correctly (never under the arm or behind the back) or continue to use a booster
