Jump on a SLUT

And here she is.



I love this story. I love examples of groups or agencies that don't quite think things through, then the public grabs it and runs. They seize it and claim ownership and the group that started it can't do a thing about it.

Underway in Seattle is a $50.5 million project to build a streetcar line. The official name is the South Lake Union Streetcar. The residents, either correctly or incorrectly, beileve that early on in the project it was originally called the South Lake Union Trolley but was changed when the developers realized the error of their acromyn. The developer wants to call it a streetcar. The residents are going with trolley. Guess who's going to win. The power of the people baby. As far as the residents are concerned Seattle has a new SLUT and they can't wait to jump on. A couple of enterprising guys are even selling t-shirts. I'm tempted to order one just to show my support.


Oh and Happy October (can you believe it's October already?). I hope you remembered to say "Rabbit, Rabbit".
