72

AskMe on 72-hour survival kits. I just realized we have a perfect place to store a disaster kit, inside the huge old steamer trunk we use as a coffee table.

On September 11, 2005, the Seattle P-I ran a two-sided one-page disaster-preparedness checklist. Alas, I can’t find it online.

Around the corner from the tree

Tonight we had dinner with Chris and Poupou in the Little Saigon area at the intersection of 12th and Jackson. We were aiming to eat at the Tamarind Tree but found ourselves in a long line of people who had obviously been waiting for some time. I scouted for nearby eateries and found the family-style Thanh Vi right around the corner. Our experience was not at all like that recounted behind the link.

We ate ourselves silly for about $35. Of especial note were Viv’s amazing thin-cut charcoal-broiled ribs.

Chris also informed me that I appear to have allowed the domain for the International Organization of Cynics, Ne’er-Do-Wells, and Misanthropes lapse inadvertently. Horrors!
