Pet of the Week: Thelma

Dsc_0069

Thelma is one of our three cats and once was recognized as "The Whitest Cat on the Internet".   She has a myspace page (this is how she received the white cat honors) but doesn’t really check it out anymore as she is too busy lounging around the yard, sleeping on the couch and shedding.   Thelma is the same white cat in the Beach Drive Blog banner.

Do you have a Beach Drive pet you’d like to feature on Pet of the Week?  Please send me their photo.

Are you a Block Watch “Captain” or Organizing a Seattle Out Event on Beach Drive?

Nightout

I’m having residents all over Beach Drive contact me regarding Seattle Night Out which takes place next Tuesday, August 5, 2008.   If you are a Block Watch Coordinator/Captain or if you are having a Seattle Night Out gathering along Beach Drive, please let me know so that I can send people in the right direction–to the gathering closest to them. 

“Night Out” is a national Crime Prevention event. It is designed to heighten crime prevention awareness, increase neighborhood support in anti-crime efforts, and unite our communities. It is a great chance to learn about crime prevention, while also celebrating your community and spending time with your neighbors.

Seattle Night Out is NEXT WEEK

Can you believe it?  Hopefully you have something planned within your block/neighborhood to participate in this event celebrating community and safety.   The Seattle Police Department would like to know if you are planning a Seattle Night Out event no later than August 2, 2008 and Night Out takes place the evening of Tuesday, August 5, 2008.

I sent an email this afternoon to those on my distribution list.  If you are a Beach Drive neighbor and would like to be added to my email list or are interested in the Block Watch/Night Out get together please let me know.

We will also need volunteers to hand out flyers, get the word out, etc.   

Last years event was a pot luck and great fun.

For more information or to RSVP, please contact me

What kind of egg is this?

We’re just returning home from a short work/vacation trip in Sonoma and discovered this egg on our upstairs patio.  There doesn’t appear to be any chicks running around from this good sized (2 plus inches) egg.  This is too big to be a baby Barn Swallow.  Any ideas of what this was/is?

Beach Drive Tear Down Updates

Earlier this month we reported that 6321 Beach Drive SW was approved to be torn down…looks like that’s recently been accomplished (above photo).

Another tear down is (or is by) 5221 Beach Drive SW.

No before picture…and a tough time finding info with the City (could just be me being inept).

BDB Pet of the Week: Casey
