Mar. 17th, 2009 01:11 amThis was taken from the terrace outside the con suite on Thursday the 13th, which was much sunnier than later. I'd recommend going to the "all sizes" page on Flickr, and then downloading the original size to see the most detail. It's a 7.5MB file, but there you go. I'm not sure why, but Flickr isn't showing the original, but I've verified it can be downloaded.
Bellevue and the Cascades are on the left. Only the outline of the peak of Mt. Rainier is visible in the haze, about 1/4 of the way through the image, working from the left. The tall tower across the street was originally built for Safeco Insurance, but is now offices for the U of Washington. (If you look closely in one of the windows, you can see a reflection of me.) The north end of downtown can be seen just to the right edge of the UW tower, along with the Space Needle. All the way on the right the Olympic Mountains are visible.

Mar. 1st, 2009 01:21 pmI didn't send this out before the cut-off for postmarked mailed votes, which was this past Thursday, Feb 26. That's my fault, and I apologize.
Email voting is open until this Thursday, March 5th.
At this writing, I have only 18 votes in hand. I think we'd all benefit from more votes than that.
On that topic, does anyone know (AKICOLJ) who would be a likely FAAn voter from Palatine, IL? I ask because I have a mailed ballot postmarked from there, but nothing else to identify the voter (nothing on the ballot [design flaw on my part], no return address).
Thanks for your time, help, and participation,
-- Hal O'Brien
