Unicorn Rescue
Janey writes:
Late last Monday night, I was taking out the recycling when my next-door neighbor asked if I knew that there was a unicorn in my yard. She’s pregnant, so not likely to have been drinking, but perhaps all the hormones . . . . ? But, lo and behold, there on the sidewalk in front of my house was in fact a unicorn.

It had a lovely poinsettia in its splendid cardboard mane, which was highlighted by somewhat freakish clumps …

Wallingford Playfield play area closed for one week
Last night as I was walking the dogs through Wallingford Playfield, I noticed a chain link fence around the perimeter of the play area. It was too dark to snap any pictures, so I emailed Dewey Potter, the Communications Manager at Seattle Parks and Rec and asked her what was up. She replied:
