The Slice: He’ll ramp it up like no one else

If you want to hear someone rattle off from memory all the Interstate 90 exits between Seattle and the Idaho border, Rodney Johnson is your man.

Johnson is charter manager for Spokane’s Northwestern Stage Lines. But before that he spent years behind the wheel of buses.

Listening to him note the number and name of the exits (in order), the thought occurred to me that this ability would actually make for a more entertaining party trick than some I have witnessed.

You would find that, as you listen to him, a home movie plays in your head showing a really fast trip across Washington.

It would be one thing if it was just their own lives at risk: After being passed recently by a couple of drivers for whom the rules apparently do not apply, Cheri Catt wonders if motorists have forgotten what double yellow lines mean.

Wild kingdom: Chris Harper reported that a recent “Jeopardy!” contestant saw a photo of a marmot and guessed it was an ocelot. “Needless to say, that contestant had negative points,” said Harper.

Just wondering: “Are Slice readers noticing that the ‘turn around time’ in public restroom stalls is lengthening because people lose track of time fiddling with smart phones and pads and pods?” wrote Vince Roland. “It’s a real problem out here at EWU, where WiFi is everywhere.”

Refrigerator art exchange program: The art supply is in better shape than this time last week. Thanks.

Today’s Slice question: What do you plan on saying to military veterans on Friday that’s not shallow, saccharine, stupid or insincere?
