I’m on my way back to the south end via Montlake Boulevard from the University Village. At Husky Stadium the traffic stops. It’s 12:30 pm and the Montlake Bridge is up to let a few sailboats pass along the Washington Ship Canal to Lake Washington.This old bascule bridge spans the Montlake Cut and it’s the most easterly draw bridge of 4 along the ship canal that connects Puget Sound via Lake Union to Lake Washington. The bridge opened in 1925 and was designed by Carl Gould, one of the early architects of the University of Washington.The latest stats I can find say about 40,000 vehicles cross the bridge every day... Timing is everything however! If there’s a Husky game at the stadium or it’s the opening day of boating season, forget about it!None the less, I love this route through Montla... 07/12/2015

Well it looks like Vegas Bob has been given another oppertunity to post one more with a layover in Seattle. Vegas Bob just wanted to touch base with all his friends and associates from the Activerain network. Some of you might be wondering why Vegas Bob blogs about his vacations, times and dates, and why he doesn't worry about intruders coming to his home while he is on vacation. Well the main reason Vegas Bob doesn't worry is because the properties where VB lives are under unrecognizable names. It would be impossible for anyone to really know where VB lives, and that's the way he likes it. And even if anyone could figure out where VB lives and tries stealing anything from him, VB doesn't care. It's only material and material can be replaced ;o) Please note: Robert Swetz's next post wil... 07/10/2015

Hi all: We are being blessed with amazingly warm weather for this time of year in Seattle. I hope it continues.With that in mind, I wanted to share with you some bedbug prevention techniques. First of all, please understand bedbugs don't discriminate. We here at Paratex find bedbugs in 5 star hotels and hovels. Bedbugs started making an alarming comeback about 10 years ago. If there is one common symptom, it's the increased frequency of travel.Bedbugs are travellers by nature. They will hitch a ride in someone's suitcase or bedding that has been purchased. There are some good prevention techniques that have been proven effective.1) Avoid purchasing used bedding or furniture if at all possible.2) If you're staying in a hotel , ask them about their bedbug prevention program.3) If you feel... 07/09/2015
