Harium is Doing Weight-Watchers
I only tell you that because Phyllis Fletcher, the former ed reporter for KUOW (we miss her!), revealed it on Weekday. She said that she saw Director Martin-Morris at a 4th of July event but wasn't sure it was him because he was so thin. But he came up to her and said hello.
He told her many people were concerned he was ill but he told her that he was on Weight Watchers and has lost 35 lbs. Good for him and good to hear because I had been asked by several people about his weight loss and I didn't have a clue.
Also, the panel that does the news roundup was having a discussion over the new basketball arena. One listener wrote in and said couldn't they rebuild schools and create jobs that way? Eli Sanders of The Stranger opined that maybe if we spent some of the time on considering schools that we do on sports, we might be better off as a city.
No kidding.

I suppose if charter schools ever do take over, we'll all vote to tear down, remodel, build higher each facility and it will come out of our taxes. That's how it works when you're in business for a profit.

she said we should take all the money and have huge intra-mural leagues of every sport and activity imaginable so kids could get outside after school and burn off energy ... and have something to do ... and stay out of trouble ... and ...
of course, that would cost money to hire people to maintain the fields and parks we have, and it would cost money to hire adults to coordinate the kids, and ... all those people coordinating the kids and taking care of the fields would spend their money on ... apartments and cars and vacations and grocery stores and restaurants and clothes for their kids ... which would support LOTS of small businesses all over the region --
oh well, she was a SPED teacher - WHAT do they know?
It feels much better spending $400 for nice seats, a few hot dogs, parking, a few suds, and a hat to watch millionaires make billionaires richer ... instead of watching a few of tens of thousands of the community's kids out getting exercise.

roads good? poor people taken care of? sidewalks for all in our city? schools good?
If not, then diverting time to talk about the Sonics is nonsense. We have professional sports, good enough.

Why just decent? Why not a great neighborhood school? Why should parents and kids have to settle for decent? So we can have enough money leftover for overpaid athletes and team owners? Sorry, but after we get great neighborhood schools, then we can consider funding the wealthy.

n.....huh? Is that simple minded and illiterate enough?

However, I have to add that the weight I would choose Harium to lose first would be the millet stone that Frank Greer and the Chamber of Commerce have around his neck.
