I guess it depends on which lane you are stuck in. The view is pretty good from some of them. I noticed a little anomaly in the song: "Smell of pine trees in the air." Cedar, hemlock, Douglas-fir, Sitka spruce, cottonwood -- not too many pine trees until you get east of Snoq Pass. Seattle just ain't the same anymore.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2007!! youtube.com 'Twas the Night of Christmas Leftovers appleseeds.org 'Twas the night of Christmas, But I just couldn't sleep. I tried counting backwards, I tried counting sheep The leftovers beckoned The dark meat and white, But I fought the temptation with all of my might. Tossing and turning with anticipation, The thought of a snack became infatuation! So I raced to the kitchen, Flung open the door, And gazed at the fridge full of goodies galore. I gobbled up turkey and buttered potatoes, Pickles and carrots, beans and tomatoes. I felt myself swelling so plump and so round, Till all of a sudden, I rose off the ground!! I crashed through the ceiling, floated into the sky With a mouthful of pudding and a handful of pie, But I managed to yell as I soared past the trees ... HAPPY EATING TO ALL, PASS THE CRANBERRIES PLEASE!!
