[img=http://www.seattle.gov/light/images/tr4sk_Banner3.jpg popup=false] Seattle City Light 的 Skagit Tours 一直以為 Seattle City Light 的 Skagit Tours 是有車階級的人才可以享受的景點, 因此也沒有特別急著的想要把那景點加到網站. 今天整理一些收集的資料才發現, Seattle City Light 每年有提供從西雅圖出發的專車. 今年最後一班專車是 8 月 18 日. 沒有車, 但是想要一覽 North Cascade 國家公園的似阿爾卑斯山的美景, 別錯個這個機會. 註: 這導覽是要預約的.

大愛劇場: 草山春暉
似乎有點像廣告… 大愛電視將從 8 月 9 日起, 播出草山春暉. 事實上寫出來的理由是因為慈濟中文學校上學年終前, 大愛電視的拍攝小組來了西雅圖十天, 並有不少人和小朋友客串臨時演員. 如果想要看看自己是否有上到鏡頭, 那就只有看電視了… 不過我想西雅圖應該是連續劇比較後段的部份. 西雅圖(美西)的播放時間. 如果家裡面沒有衛星接收, 可以在網上觀看. Side Note: Seniors scammed in hot housing market

# Blacklist the vending machines.
# Hang up the phone. It's easy to stay sitting all day, what with e-mail, the phones, etc. But walk to see someone you need to speak with.
# Resurrect your lunch box. Many of us don't take lunch to work, and 39 percent of workers said they eat out at least three times per week. By bringing lunch, you save money, trim calories and control how much you eat.
