“Something tells me we’ll wind up with a coin that looks more like it’s the Seattle commemorative quarter.”

Oh, well. My favorites elsewhere have been the coins for Maine state and Missouri state. I also like the upcoming North Dakota state quarter featuring bison. How about you?

“E-mer-gen-cy! Everybody to get from street: “The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming” first appeared in movie theaters 40 years ago this month.

I wonder how many members of Spokane’s Russian community have seen this uplifting Cold War comedy. And I wonder what they thought of it.

“Give a hoot: Please consume asparagus in a socially responsible way.

“Warm-up questions: How many people around here were born in cars, trains, elevators, et cetera? In your home, how often is the division of domestic chores negotiated?
