I have not died just yet.

So yeah you may have noticed (but not cared) that I have not been around for a few months. Anyway I haven't died yet.
My car was totalled by an uninsured driver, and I used the insurance money to move to Seattle. My friend gave me my old 1982 Toyota back to use for the trip. Now I have to park it before I get another ticket for expired tags. ANYBODY IN SEATTLE HAVE A PLACE I CAN PARK THIS BEAST?

I can pay you, but not much - it doesn't need to be inside of anything, jut can't be in front of a parking meter.

Anyway I took a big trip, stopped in Palm Springs, LA, Sacromento, and Portland before arriving in Seattle. Met with friends, did some stuff, got booted off the Queen Mary by security (we just got back on when they weren't looking though). And now I'm in Seattle.

Here's what I've noticed about Seattle. The parking is expensive. The parking tickets are expensive. People are grumpy and uptight (probably because of the cost of parking). Things are more expensive (probably to cover the cost of parking) and Mc Donald's has a chicken sandwich on their dollar menu, but it's not the same as the one they have in denver - and it sucks ass. The weather is nice.

Anyway, it's going like suck right now, but if anybody has a place I can park the car - that'd be be awesome (think of major moderator brownie points).

Welcome back! Probably the reason the people are so grumpy is all the Starbucks coffee they drink and what it costs them
McDonalds recently got rid of their Dollar menu chicken sandwich in favor of a "chicken wrap" which costs more. I'm not a fan of it as it seems smaller than the sandwich. Our sandwiches here in NY were a little bit on the spicy side, a surprise for the dollar menu. How were they in Denver, or Seattle? When I first had one of their sandwiches, it surprised me as it didn't look like it was spicy.

The sandwich in denver was actually decently spicey (which means for white-person fast food, it was actually relatively pretty spicey) it had shredded lettuce and some mayo on it. The one here, is kind of spicey, but not even close to the ones they had in Denver - it also lacks the lettuce - it's a pretty lame sandwich if you ask me.

Good to see you back, 2stroke!

I would be all about hooking you up with a parking place, but I am on the wrong side of the country for all that.
