There's Hope in the West

An article today argued that we have finally forgotten September 11th. Does that make today the 12th?


I read a passage the other day from a book about the founding fathers. It mentioned that men like Jefferson saw their revolutionary actions in much the same light as Manifest Destiny. Up until that point, scientific/artistic/cultural discovery as they knew it had a westward course, proceeding from Greece to Rome, on to Europe and finally the Americas. Obviously they ignored developments in the east they weren't aware of, but I still liked the core concept. Let it be shown that you'll find what you need in the West. Let it be shown that there's hope in the West.

I mention all this to preface the following... The West Seattle DMV is fuckin' rad. Short lines, courteous staff, clean seating area. I got in, out, and scheduled a drive test for the 22nd. Fuckin' fuck yeah.
