[Seattle Transit Blog] International Perspective: Transfer Stations - Seattle Transit Blog: One of the concerns I have with the Husky stadium Link stop is the hike from the north end routes that go through UW campus and/or the Campus Parkway transit transfer point, such as 30, 65, 67, 68, 71, 72, 73, or 75. For trips to the airport, if you have luggage, Campus Parkway is way too far from the Link stop, and getting off at one of the UW campus stops (for routes that go through campus) isn’t very close either.

[Josephmallozzi's Weblog] December 25, 2008: Season Greetings! A Doggy Update! And a ...: Also, as per Christmas tradition, my mother phoned up every relative she could think of and had me talk to them.  Among the cavalcade of calls was one to a cousin I hadn’t spoken to in years.  She congratulated me on my success, reflecting back on my youthful obsession with comic books and role-playing games that no doubt paved the way for a fruitful career in making shit up.  Reflecting back on her reflections, it suddenly dawned on me that while comic books and role-playing games may have helped shape me creatively, I can’t honestly say I ever left them behind.  I still read comic books (and my complete collection of Asterix and Obelisk books in the original French), watch cartoons (anime in particular as my personal library now holds well over 3000 dvds), and have never curbed my desire to pick up the occasional action figure, statue, or toy.  Hell, if I had the time, I’d probably still be spending my Friday nights playing Dungeons and Dragons.  Dear Lord!  I’m freaking Peter Pan in and cobras cufflinks!
