Chuckanut Bay Cheesecake

One hundred fifteen grams of heart wreaking cheesecake,  ingredients include 65 MG of Cholesterol, about a third of the daily recommended maximum. That’s 5% of the two or 3 bites, and the treat includes another 5% sodium.

Great for your next final request before a firing squad. Including the 35% fat.

It is tasty…….

Bicycle patrol

The weather is great for bikes now and I talked to an unconfirmed source that said there may be a police bike patrol this summer, and that there was non last summer. A source also said that she had spent a year on a bike patrol and did not feel more at risk or unsafe on that form of policing.

A look at the highway interchange early this AM seeing a few less trucks about a hundred an hour a little different then the Sunday afternoon count of 12o.  Of interest is the seemingly large portion of auto carriers on their way. In the recent months earlier they were not as clearly standing out a ; we had talked to the drivers of some trucks hauling scrap to places like Richmond Steel and it was also seen as busier. Scrap goes to durable good s that are an indicator of economic strength. So it may be a good time for the police to be considering a bike patrol about town to promote green while being available to keep the peace. A full-sized patrol car s a good reminder for trucks on the highway that safety is the main goal at the end of the day.

Last week a driver lost his life in a fiery accident under a overpass on the Freeway.

Accident

Car accident at the lights Nicola and Voght one vehicle pointed the wrong way no visible, damage, another with a bender on the drivers side. What could have happened was a person got on the wrong side of the meridian and tried to continue to the intersection causing the second vehicle to strike a pole getting out of the way. I didn’t see the accident only the results. A person that could have been the driver of the wrong way car was showing extreme mental anguish of proportion to the accident . What is true is that 2 police cars responded to aid a very minor accident that could have been reported at the cop shop with in twenty-four hours 3 photographers responded ,perhaps a celebrity driver . Then a calm  seemingly uninvolved person came and took the wrong way car and drove away. Must be more to it . Will follow.

Trucking traffic

I counted the large truck traffic on one of the exchanges off the four lane divided highway  on Sunday. Counting in 5 minute block’s over an hour  it seemed to average about 10 or 120 an hour. We think that is a moderate amount of truck traffic and very safe  flow to large trucks on the freeway.

Pay attention to possible signs that a truck may be along haul truck as they may not be as well rested relaxed and scheduled as short haul trucks clues are numbers of license plates and sleepers on the tucks.

Under the influence

Crumpled tickets are often found on Voght street, and often for intoxicated in a public place the allegation carries with it a one hundred and fifteen dollar fine.That can be disputed with in 30 days. Two tickets  neatly typed by the arresting officer except for the details of the offender show 34 tickets  spread issued from the same book in a one calendar day cycle. If you are from Missouri you may wonder why the tickets are found close together and within sight of the Police office. It could be that the people that are issued them are repeaters and talk, to each other.  We believe that if these tickets are not resolved by the people that throw them out, then they wind up in collections and the people are harassed into paying them.

It would seem that a reasonable course of action would be to have a designated driver to take you home as the system is ready and eager to embrace even small malfeasance.

Bye the bye if you are drunk in pubic there is no charge if there is a responsible person with you to take charge and especially a privileged person like a blood relative.

A n explosion in a gas well in Robb’s  Alberta is not related to the seminar other than the 11 injured workers would have taken similar training.

Hydrogen sulfide gas is a deadly heavier than air gas that is expelled in drilling oil wells.

Clean Fire Hydrants

The city ran and add to hire CUPE workers last week in on of the local weekly’s they were to fix potholes and keep up these things . Most all the fire hydrants were gone through and painted up starting after a local hotel burned down. The fire was reported as arson. In the middle of a labor dispute and some one had opened  a number of these about town diminishing the pressure to fight the fire.

The tag says no not connect without permit;2000 dollar fine, we think it’s not intended for arsonists but the responsible public.

The crime is yet unsolved.
