How about those idiots who are waiting to make a left turn in two-way traffic, and wait behind the line (before entering the intersection) or fail to fully pull out into the intersection and thereby needlessly cause the car behind them to have to wait behind the line. I'm talking about situations when there is no back-up on the cross street, so no chance of getting caught in the intersection if you pull out.
If I’m not mistaken, though, it is illegal to pull into the intersection and then stop. I believe that legally, you are not supposed to pull into the intersection to turn unless you are reasonably sure that you will not have to stop. FYI only--not saying it’s a good law.

My family's been here for over a hundred years, so for a white person, I feel native enough to comment.
Microsoft, like Boeing, Amazon and Starbucks, are all local companies. In most cases, I feel that they have lost their roots, but in all cases, I don't have a problem with them being here.
What has been harder for me as a local has been this: People ostensably come here for the lifestyle (and the scenery) and then when they get here, they want to make it just like the place they came from, except with better scenery. Part of what makes this place what it is is the people who populated it (once again I am speaking in the Whitey revisionist way, sorry to any real natives) so why on earth would you want to change it wholesale into Kansas City, Los Angeles, or any other place? We have a unique, albeit subtle, culture here, and I for one am not willing to give it up to become like every other US city.
WTF are you talking about? Take the bong out of your mouth and attempt to make some sense, OK?

Anyone have recent beta? How is it getting onto the ridge now?
Thanks,

If I hike more than 6 miles in a day my feet hurt terribly. On descent my foot pain is almost disabling. My feet aren’t just tired or achy--they seriously hurt! One of my problems is that I have pretty flat feet—I’ve tried countless brands of footbeds (my favorites so far being the “superfeet”), but nothing really helps much. Doesn’t seem to matter what type of footwear I’m wearing (plastics, leather, tennis)--it's always the same painful story. I hiked 25 miles this past weekend--no problems as far as having the energy to hike such a distance, but as far as my feet were concerned—ouch!
Anyone have any advice?
Thanks in advance.

From the WA Driver's Pamphlet:
"Drivers must not enter an intersection unless they can get through it without having to stop. You should wait until traffic ahead clears so you are not blocking the intersection."
Again, not saying I like this--just pointing it out.
