RANT to people who attend live sporting events only to spend the entire time talking about anything but the game. The people who sit behind us at Seattle Sounders games pay little attention to the game and talk loudly and continually about every detail of their lives. Your voices carry right over me and are very distracting. I will have to start wearing noise-canceling earbuds, but that means I will lose out on enjoying the ambient noise of the game. Please consider others and hold your conversations for another time.

RAVE to all King County Metro employees. My son left his trumpet on the 79 bus the other afternoon. It was at the lost and found a couple of days later. This could have been a disaster (he is scheduled to perform at the Paramount later in March), but instead he learned a valuable lesson to keep track of his things and I am deeply grateful to you all.
