My husband is trying to rescue the boat.   An update will be posted soon.

Update:  The SPD and Coast Guard have been notified as of 7:40 a.m.

Update 5/19/2007:   The boat has been reunited with it’s Captain…none other than Wookie’s family.   All is good.

What’s with the helicopters?

Well…if you are a West Seattle Blog subscriber, you all ready know that there is a police stand off at 4600 block of SW Brandon (possibly a bank robber).    Stay safe.

I just called Comcast and we are having an area outage. I guess if you have Comcast, like me, then you’re not reading this post! I was told the outage could be 2 or 3 hours. thank goodness for my Treo!

Update:  It’s 2:3o and we’re back on line.  🙂   It’s nice to know that I can still blog on my Treo!
