Volcano Labels Frost Park'ers "Bigots"
The Weekly Volcano is often good for a laugh but the tongue in cheek note regarding Frost Park in the 2008 Best of Tacoma goes too far.

HALT: Mike Lonergan Sign Theif!
Dear At Risk Youth, Although you may think it is funny to vandalize my political yard sign, then outright steal it a few days later it's not. In fact it is a CRIME. Trespassing on my property to remove a political yard sign is not only a crime. It is a crime against democracy. Sign Bigots (below):There really is no excuse for this behavior. It is my belief that THE PARENTS of such children are JUST AS MUCH TO BLAME! !

Kale? Already??
My weekly manna from heaven (veggie delivery) came and while the carrots, peaches, blueberries, apricots, and red-leaf lettuce delighted me, I have to admit to feeling...deflated on seeing the kale. I'm aware that CSA co-ops and organic delivery can translate to "lots of kale and chard" --but I thought that was more, like, fall and winter?
