The Slice Dumb Question Are A Risk When One Leave Spokane
The vows one takes when going to the lake are slightly different.
But we’re getting ahead of ourselves.
“Our daughter, Misty, recently moved to the West Side of the state,” wrote Julia Brown. “She works in Redmond. After their bad snow storm, she had to go to work during off-hours to help clean up from the damage caused by the storm. She wore a sweatshirt with a Priest Lake logo on the front. Her co-workers wanted to know if that was some kind of a religious summer camp.”
Misty’s reply? “Hardly!”
Easy ways to show everyone you are a loser: 1. Aggressive nonchalant jaywalking. 2. Spitting on the sidewalk every 10 seconds. 3. Driving absurdly fast in residential areas.
She’d call it “What’s Happenin’ “: If Coulee Dam’s Jane M. Smith got to start a local magazine, she would produce a publication that offered a truly comprehensive listing of area events and attractions - from the big stuff to smaller gatherings such as coed softball and high school plays.
Another reader suggested starting a magazine called “Inland Out,” focusing on Spokane gay life.
More stuff left out in the car overnight that froze: “Two years ago, I had bought a picnic basket as a Christmas gift, complete with dishes, utensils and a nice bottle of flavored vinegar,” wrote Sandra Hurlburt. “Of course, it was in glass and the bottle broke and saturated my entire back seat. After two boxes of baking soda and numerous cleanings it still smelled, and you can imagine what it was like when the temperature warmed up.”
And add Elizabeth Dykes to the list of those who left a box of baby wipes out on a cold night. She likened it to “Frozen toilet-paper brick.”
More B&Bs: Jo Krogh would call her place “The Krogh’s Nest.”
Mike Sanders would name his “The Couch and Cold Cereal.”
Local prom themes we would like to see: “Tomorrow is the first day of another week of acting bored,” “We Got Power,” “Puget Sound - Here We Come!” and “Good Prom.”
Warm-up questions: If you could build a ridiculously long personal skywalk between your home and any building in the area, what building would you pick? What are your pets’ favorite shows? If the local TV news anchor teams got into a big brawl, who would be standing at the end?
Today’s Slice question: What Spokane area high school is home to the most current or future criminals?
