HOT Dog Report: Excessive Heat Warning until Thursday Night
July 27, 2009 by 1 Comment
Normally with extreme weather, we'll post a "barking dog" report… this weather is 
nothing to bark about. My poor old pug is lying low and panting in front of a fan.
According to the Seattle City forecast, we're in for some very hot weather–possibly hitting the 100's thru Thursday.
…EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM PDT THURSDAY…
TONIGHT…CLEAR. LOWS IN THE 60S. NORTH WIND TO 10 MPH.
TUESDAY…SUNNY. HIGHS IN THE 90S TO 100. NORTH WIND TO 10 MPH.
TUESDAY NIGHT…CLEAR. LOWS IN THE 60S. NORTH WIND TO 10 MPH.
WEDNESDAY…SUNNY. HIGHS IN THE MID 90S TO 103. LIGHT WIND BECOMING NORTHWEST 10 MPH OR LESS IN THE AFTERNOON.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT…MOSTLY CLEAR. LOWS IN THE 60S. EAST WIND TO 10 MPH.
THURSDAY…SUNNY. HIGHS IN THE 90S TO 100.
Air conditioning in the Seattle area is not common. This is a good time to reach out to neighbors, those who might need some extra help, to make sure they're staying cool. You don't need to wait for Seattle Night Out next week to visit with your neighbors–which by the way, we only have until July 31, 2009 to register if we're closing down a side street or want the Seattle Police Department to stop by.

If you have a garage sale, send me an email (contact info above on the upper left corner), we're happy to promote neighborhood events here. This morning, I noticed one at 5410 Beach Drive SW starting at 10:00 a.m. today and Sunday. Looks like there's another up on Jacobsen too.
If you stop by, be sure to tell them you heard about their sale from Beach Drive Blog.
Gagging Dog Report – P U!
July 17, 2009 by Leave a Comment
Typically I'll do a "Barking Dog Report" to alert neighbors of potential flooding during a storm. However this morning, we have to ask "ooh, what's that smell?"
We have shut all our windows with hopes that the tide coming in will hurry and wash away the stench of what must be hot, musty kelp and critters.
I was blaming it on my husband and the dog earlier…but even they can't take credit for this smell.
And now… some Skynyrd with "That Smell"

Thrones of Beach Drive

I'm not sure if this will become a regular series of posts here at Beach Drive Blog, butt we had to share this facinating toilet located in a home along Beach Drive.
Out of T.P.? No problems…the Toto Washlet 300 will cleanse and pamper with many features to choose from…and the heated seat is a warm welcome on a chilly Seattle day.
Seattle Night Out is Tuesday, August 4

You have just a couple more weeks to register your Night Out block party with the 
Seattle Police Department. The area of Beach Drive that we live in has enjoyed this chance to get together for the past couple of years with a fun pot luck. I'm look forward to this year's event!
I invite you to head over to the BDB Community Forums and let us know if your holding a block party and if you're a block watch captain–it would be great if Beach Drive was "connected" with who's doing block watches…we might even learn of areas that need help getting one started.
Being aware and knowing your neighbors is a great first step in preventing crime.
