My precinct sends 8 delegates to the district caucus. Final tally was:
7 Obama
1 Clinton
2nd round voting was:
106 Obama
21 Clinton
7 uncommitted
1 Mike Gravel
It worked fine for me when I looked up my caucus location on Wednesday. But, I don’t wait until the morning of a trip to pack, either.
It shouldn’t be a surprise that the site is jammed up. It’s unreasonable to expect a non-profit organization to pay for the maximum bandwidth it might need in one 24-to-36 hour period every four years.
Do you know your legislative district? It's the first two digits of your precinct number. Many have their own Democratic organizations: http://www.wa-democrats.org/get_local_leg.php. It might be easier to find your caucus location from them, if you waited until today to figure that out.
Kitchen arc welding! Cool! Since you're ditching the stove, see if you can reproduce the event on another bruner. (an aluminum pan would be a poor choice BTW)
If there was ever a person who deserved things to go his way, it's catbirdseat.
Brian, many are going to be very sorry to see you go. Fair winds and a following sea to you.
Eastbound on U. S. 87 west of San Angelo, Texas in 1979. An A7U dove on us and leveled out just above the deck a hundred yards to our left. His dive bottomed out exactly beside us.

The article whose link porter provides above (‘Budget cuts again imperil avalanche forecasts’) says among other things that Washington state has provided “$57,000 in stop-gap funding for the [Northwest Weather and Avalanche Center] through 2008” and that the state also has “a two-year study aimed at figuring out how to reliably fund the region's avalanche warning system.”
“Knox Williams, a Colorado-based avalanche expert who is serving as a consultant to the state funding study…” says "The information can be provided in layers of sophistication…it doesn't have to dumb down the product."
I favor Gen. Jack Ripper. Cool under pressure, calculating, never taking his eye off the big picture, in control of his emotions, and concerned about water quality: Evolved Man. He will never just fling poo.
Just now listening to a public radio station. They ran a PSA that was primarily about driving challenges in the winter mountains. But twice in the announcement, they prominently mentioned avalanche awareness and once specifically said to be cautious immediately after a heavy snowfall.
Iluka's idea is reasonable, but what is the demographic that "media outlets" cater to? A few years ago we had a cold snap and sudden snowfall in Seattle at the start of one morning's commute. The local TV talking heads were out on the street providing blow-by-blow coverage. One guy was stationed at a bus stop. He concluded his report by reminding viewers to wear a coat, hat, and gloves.
