<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Squatch here. Ever notice how Autumn often make for good season for reflections? Good time to check in with one self and say, “hey…everything on track? You still hang in there buddy?”<br /><br />Question like, “Where Squatch at in life? Squatch happy? Squatch on track for retirement? Squatch ready for bigger commitment to Wendy?” <br /><br />Life funny like that. One day just walking in woods and thinking, “everything okay dokay and fun.” Then Fall come and think, “maybe time get serious. Not young, handsome football captain squatch no more!!” <br /><br />Speaking of Autumn… When dang pumpkin spice trend start? EVERYTHING need to be pumpkin spiced? Regular Oreo® not good enough… need pumpkin spice Oreo®?<br /> <br /> Sometimes Squatch visit pumpkin patch. Legend true, mostly. Sometimes Squatch steal maybe few pumpkins…here or there…not too many. Squatch not proud of it, but Squatch need to get by too, you know? <br /><br />Squatch never split open pumpkin, take long whiff and think, “need to make everything smell and taste like this! Even Oreos®!”</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Oreos® fine as-is, people. Fine. As. Is.<br /><br />> Cold weather = < Meat = Squatch raid pumpkin patches for food. Not rocket science, people.<br /><br />Plus… some jerk start trapping mice in North Cascades for fun and ruin Squatch’s food source. Sent chipmunk friend Cody to investigate but he not come back. Rumor he trapped too. Sad. <br /><br /> Prime suspect this man! Squatch want to ask him some questions. You see him, you tell squatch where.</span></div>

<i>Seattle, WA.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Listen to me. Get up out of your chair… right now.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Take a stroll down to Seattle’s historic waterfront. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Stand at the cross section of Myrtle Edwards Park, Belltown
and the piers. Lean over, close your eyes, and put your ear to the ground.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you linger, if only for a moment, and truly listen… and I
mean TRULY listen… you can still hear it.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
History.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Can you hear it?<o:p></o:p><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The sounds of sleep-starved bakers working before the sun
wakes… pulling out the doughy, artisanal labors of their love… fresh from the
oven… one loaf at a time… with all of the care of an <span style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">obstetrician-gynecologist gently delivering their first
baby into this cold, cruel world. </span><o:p></o:p><br />
<span style="color: #333333; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The low rumble of a team of Italian trained Michelin-rated
chefs purposefully huddled around a softly-simmering pan of tomato sauce…
arguing over the perfect amount of oregano to bring out the tangy overtones of
the local Skagit Valley-grown Roma tomatoes. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The hustle and bustle of a highly-trained and hyper
customer-focused wait staff… busily preparing for the mad, late dinner rush of young,
hip urban professionals and food critics praying their long-awaited reservation
made months in advance was properly catalogued and ready for their patronage.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The high-pitched swirl of a crack team of sommeliers tasting
the evening’s selections, hurriedly scribbling down their tasting notes, bursting
with desire to pair every flavor with the perfect, triumphant twist.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
History.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
History indeed.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And not just any history… Seattle history.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The kind of history that takes one look at regular history,
kicks it in the teeth, and makes it pee its pathetic, history pants. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
……………………………………………………………………….<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
HAHAHAHAHA.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
PAAAAAAAA HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nope. None of that is true. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sorry, Seattle. You blew it.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You don’t get any more army noodles with Food Services of
America (oops…I mean “mizithra”) cheese piled on top.<o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
No more bag-o-salads with Thousand Island. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
No more family dinners in the giant trolley served by some
pimple-faced son of some douchebag software developer who moved here from
Columbus 15 years ago. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
No more crying kids with spumoni splattered across their
stupid baby faces. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You’re just going to have to take junior to McDonalds… just like
everyone else. <o:p></o:p><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Good luck.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

hipster jizz off of your ear, you dum dum. </span></div>

Seattle, WA<br />
It read like a Hollywood script, a small group of intellectuals forced to take on an industry giant to save Planet Earth from total destruction. But that is exactly what happened last week in the waters of Puget Sound. To most of us, the Shell oil rig that docked in Seattle was just one of a thousand rigs working around the world. But to the more learned audience, this particular rig means disaster. According to "Junebug", this rig has the capabilities of drilling oil on the moon and piping it back to Earth which then carries the potential of a space spill. "Imagine if every airplane in the sky was dumping oil or some byproduct into the atmosphere, that is what it would be like." she explained.<br />
The protesters united for battle on the sea with their kayaks aligned like the cavalry of Genghis Khan. Shell Oil in it's 100 year history had never experienced anything of this magnitude.While most people were busy at work, this small group of underdogs had dismantled the 4th largest company in the world. As of yesterday, Shell Oil had closed the doors on it's headquarters one last time.<br />

For those of you in the know, capturing LowTide on film can be more rare than capturing footage of Bigfoot himself, and certainly more dangerous.<br />
<br />
For the photographers at the Seattle Times, a warning... LowTide does not appreciate your soul-stealing treachery...especially when attempting to purchase superfluous pieces of Flying Bird on the down low. May God and LowTide have mercy on you when they team up to hunt you down...<br />
<br />
In the meantime...help us find Lowtide!!!! Can you find him???? He's in there...<br />

God damnit, Seattleites...are you going to stand for this shit? Portland is out-boycotting Seattle...your home!! YOUR HOME!!! The place you retire to at the end of a long day of heavy computing to eat your gluten-free lettuce wraps!! YOUR FUCKING HOME!<br />
<br />
Well, I say fuck that and fuck Portland! Get out there and boycott something right now, you lazy boobs. May I suggest tunnels, to start?<br />
<br />
And if you're one of the 27.3% who are already boycotting something... a big "thank you!" You people are doing great. But, Clambaker thinks you can do better! Either continue boycotting the current thing you are boycotting, only harder....OR...boycott something new! Like tunnels. Unless you're already boycotting tunnels...then boycott tunnels harder...because <i>the movement</i> needs you...<br />

Seattle WA,<br />
<br />
The Seahawks traded away one of teams top talents as rumors began to circulate about a behind the scenes real life soap opera taking place. Kent Phillips of Star101.5 broke the story after hearing of a locker room brawl between Percy Harvin and former teammate and roommate Golden Tate.

If I had to pick an animal to be instantly transformed into because I rubbed an old lamp three times and a genie came out......I would pick bear. Why? Because I would get to eat salmon! Duh!<br />
<br />
How much do YOU like salmon? VOTE TO THE RIGHT!! >>>>>><br />

Have you been out to eat in this city recently? Wait…what am
I saying? Of course you have! Your micro apartment doesn’t have a kitchen! And
now that you make at least $15/hr, you can afford to! Am I the only one who’d
never had a compote until my ex-girlfriend dragged me to some “foodie” restaurant
that opened up in some old mattress factory and started serving poached seagull
eggs and octopus roe on spelt toast and drizzled with stinging nettle compote for
$35???</div>

Dear Mr. Douglas… if you really want to get in touch with
the roots of Northwest eating and culinary traditions, you should make an appointment
to come talk to me and staff at the Washington Apple. I grew up around here and
we never had any compote. You want an idea for a menu item for one of your
restaurants? Here’s a go-to from my family's playbook growing up…Tater Tot Hamburger Casserole. Bam!</div>

If you live anywhere near seattle you have probably found yourself at one point trying to walk up 10th Ave to get to Boren Ave only to discover it is a dead end. With the new development planned by the city council, those days are about to come to end. The new stairwell/ramp up the hillside seems like the perfect plan to connect these communities...or is it?<br />
<br />
At first glance, everyone seems to be enjoying a typical Seattle day hanging out on the north end of the International District. But a closer look and you will see an underground train of child abduction. The masterminds behind this plan want you to believe this is a beautifying project, when it is actually a pathway for children to start a life in the downtown sweatshops. The new stairwell makes this process so easy, children can even be hauled away two at a time! And the only person trying to prevent this injustice is confined to a wheelchair who is consistently blocked by a man wearing a white sweater. If you see any of these people, report them immediately. </div>

Valentine's Day is this week. Seriously, go ahead and complain but it doesn't do you any good. You are going to have to deal with it. But don't worry, we are here to help. Right now it is probably too late to get reservations at a nice restaurant. Even though you really didn't want to because it's going to be so busy and you're going to have to drive around looking for parking while your girlfriend or wife keeps saying, "I think that's a spot!" And you can clearly tell that it's not a spot but you have to drive by and show her that it is a driveway because it's Valentine's Day.<br />
<br />
So what to do. You already took the easy road this Christmas and bought her a Russell Wilson jersey, which couldn't have turned out better. Go ahead and pat yourself on the back for that one. And if you come home from work with a Safeway bouquet and a bottle of your favorite wine again this year, it won't go well. Plus, the Safeway parking lot is so crowded on Valentine's Day. You have to park way in the back and everyone just walks in front of your car and expects you to stop because they are on foot. So avoid that headache and head over to the International Market and get ready to make her the romantic meal she has been dreaming of.<br />
<br />
Valentine's Day is the most romantic day of the year and its origins can be traced back to where all love originally comes from, Bangkok. And one of the romantic traditions there is to make your loved one an egg salad sandwich. But you have to do it right.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDrIfrxsL-D1639zXVtznCrIcb_DY_9jwYGW3W7Yc5D-2boxxM2LV6iMJ2xJG-EpjGuxz_4V9k_ffsUwUuSlACBTtZ6CtrNdd22MQQhjbzkIFNzyfHrcEvoMHeWBSWV7YRbCluVzzPN1Ri/s1600/20140210_184314.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDrIfrxsL-D1639zXVtznCrIcb_DY_9jwYGW3W7Yc5D-2boxxM2LV6iMJ2xJG-EpjGuxz_4V9k_ffsUwUuSlACBTtZ6CtrNdd22MQQhjbzkIFNzyfHrcEvoMHeWBSWV7YRbCluVzzPN1Ri/s1600/20140210_184314.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
Lady's Choice Sandwich Spread comes directly from Thailand and is made with the woman in mind. Don't just go out and buy any mayonnaise for this egg salad sandwich, make sure you choose the one that is specifically engineered for the delicate digestive tract of a woman. She will appreciate it as it easily moves down her feminine esophagus, around her dainty cardia, and through that cute little duodenum. Plus, Lady's Choice is guaranteed 99% GERM FREE. Try to find out how many germs are in other brands, they don't even label it!<br />
<br />
So surprise her this year with this ancient romantic tradition. She will know that love is in the year as the smell of hard boiled eggs drifts throughout the house. And put that shit on a plate, don't just wrap it in a paper towel and hand it to her. This is Valentine's Day. Also, it might help if you have a good buzz on when she comes home, you're a lot nicer when you've been drinking.</div>
