Naked City in Greenwood -- decent menu, great beer selection, and kid friendly

The key is the garnish ... cut up some red onions, radishes, cilantro, and lime wedges, and then add 'em to your tacos.

The sauce is also important - one part plain yogurt, one part mayonaise, and add some of your favorite salsa.

Don't use anything too fancy for the fish. I use frozen fish from Trader Joe's. The halibut is good.

Finally, the tortillas must not be dried out. You can resurrect store bought tortillas (which, frankly, tend to be dried out even when they're fresh) by nuking them in the microwave with a damp paper towel over the top for about 30 seconds.

If money is no object, 13 Coins is open 24 hours and has a location on International Blvd in Seatac.

Just liability. Talk to your insurance agent about "dwelling coverage", which is basically the same insurance that you had when you lived there, except it doesn't cover any of the renter's personal property. It should be pretty cheap.

Since it's you, Charles, why not just give the messenger a "philosophical thought for the day" or something?

Tell them you never parked there and you're not gonna pay it. Then hang up. They can't collect it.

Excellent question. I've noticed that too, and I think it's usually on lights with a bad ballast.

In street lights, the ballast is a magnetic device. I suspect that you walking or driving by can change the electromagnetic field around the light enough that it temporarily stops working. Another possibility is that vibration causes an already flaky device to shut off, though this doesn't seem too likely for someone walking.

Yet another possibility is that walking by triggers the ambient light sensor which turns the light on/off. I doubt this is the cause, because, as you mentioned, the lights seem to turn on about 10 minutes later, and not as soon as you pass by.

So, I'm going to go with the change in electromagnetic field as my best guess. If the ballast is bad, then it might just take 10 minutes to turn back on again (just like a bad florescent bulb in a building).

All good answers so far.

I will add that you can also buy spices from the bulk bins, which will be a small fraction of the price of buying it in a jar. Curry powder, chili powder, cumin, cayenne, etc will all go a long way towards giving you some variety in an otherwise repetitive or bland menu.

It's probably the Pike Brewing Company, which is right there on 1st. Fermenting beer stinks.
