First, the one armed boy at Meridian Playground lost his arm to the dark side of humanity. Then he embraced technology and was turned into a cyborg, looking for revenge, but lost his appendage yet again. Well, as of today he’s been fully replaced by a machine. Yes, The Singularity has come to Wallingford, prepare for the robocalypse. Meet your new overlord, K-2:

Seattle Tilth’s Chicken Coop and Urban Farm Tour is in the final stages of planning and is looking for a few more participants. I’ve gone on the tour a couple times and been on the tour a couple times. It’s a lot of fun to do with kids and doesn’t conflict with the Kiddie Parade this year. Also, most of the setups you see are done by the owners that show you around. It’s a great opportunity for a personal connection with people and food, and by swapping bloody tales of battles with raccoons and rats you dispel the Seattle …
This is the time of year when things start to get really tough for life with kids in Seattle. The holiday diversions are over and the kids are bored and denting the walls. The cold, seeping rain is rotting out that last vestige of sunny disposition in your soul.

This Wednesday at the Wallingford Community Council (7:00 – 9:00 pm, Good Shepherd Center, Room 202) we’ll have Pamela from the Parks Department attending. I was fortunate to work with her and Ron from the Meridian School on the Meridian Playground renovation a few years back and she is being brought back to deal with maintenance issues.
First, we’re looking to have the Meridian Playground sculptor, Patrick Maher, replace the sculpture that had the arm ripped off a couple years ago. The design has been in disrepair for a long time and the recent kerfuffle around the machine gun arm …
Dr. Enfield is currently in an unenviable year long job interview process as she seeks to be the permanent replacement for Maria Goodloe-Johnson. While she must be very busy keeping a cap on the scandals that emanate from the highly political and mathematically challenged district HQ, she took a bit of time to chat with me about her plans for Wallingford and the Seattle School District. The answers are based on notes taken during a phone interview we had on July 21, 2011.

Tomorrow (Thursday, May 26) from 6:30 to 8:30 PM the Wallingford Community Council will be holding our annual meeting in the Good Shepherd Center Chapel. Come at 6:30 to meet with many of our fine local organizations and snack on refreshments. As in previous years the organizations will be positioned around the chapel space with literature and the like, kind of like a science fair for neighborhood nonprofits.
The talking starts at 7:00. Local organizations will be invited to speak, and then our featured speaker Mike O’Brien will be discussing the areas he oversees for the Seattle City Council, including …
