Friday Fish Wrap (with the usual homage to Herb Caen)

The jobs numbers released today weren’t what they thought it would be, they of course being the experts in Washington DC and New York. But then again, the numbers are archaic and most often useful for no more than a few sound bites from the politicians, so get used to those  we have just over five more months of that to come!!

Doorways to Luxury home tour this weekend, for those with jobs — well paying jobs.  For the rest of us the chance to peek in on some very pricey digs……No more driving across town to get that bottle of tequila for Margaritas on your porch on Friday night, the State of Washington no longer has a monopoly on the retail sale of Booze, and the big grocery stores have their shelves stocked and ready to go, looks like is here to stay as well as the Washington State Supreme Court rejected a challenge to the law earlier this week……Check out Cleveland!  That is just what our Mayor Levitt and other local government and business leaders did to see what they could learn from the Midwest city on the upswing. Read about it in today’s Vancouver Business Journal….

WSUVand Fifty Shades of Grey, well you know what they say,  “ain’t no such thing as bad publicity,”  I’ll stick with the Crimson and GRAY – Go Cougs!!

Out and About …..Joe Zarelli moving on after serving all of us well THANKS JOE !!!!!!! ……Vanessa DuPlessie encouraging participation, even for a day ….. Brian Loos  not letting go of a really good gig ….. TVD  waiting for a call ….. Elson Strahan answering the last second call-up and doing it flawlessly …..Lindsey Herling lobbying for a date in August – after her due date….. Dennis Kampe and  Laureano  Mier smiling ear to ear at the LCC project presentation of the new aviation education program to be run by the Skills Center and Pearson Air Museum …..Tina Krause  piloting her team to a perfect seven point landing ……Dave Dumas with listings in hand saying it isn’t so bad out there …..MIKE GREENE will be missed by all who knew him and probably some who didn’t  …… Have a wonderful weekend and if you hear someone say  “I’ll have another” this weekend, they’re talking horse racing. I’ll take Dullahan.
