Ivar’s versus Salty’s, that is the question, which one is the better fish house. Wednesday night most of the work  group that ate diner on Monday at Ivar’s ate dinner at Salty’s on Alki, on Wednesday. My vote is for Ivar’s. First off the food was better and so was the service. Ivar‘s is a white tablecloth kind of restaurant, Salty‘s is not. Salty’s view is better though. See above for a portion of it or tomorrow for my version of the Frazier view of Seattle.

Here is a Carl story from Tuesday night’s game. I think that it was evoked after a White Sox’s player hit a screamer, foul, off the third base line. One of the Mariners’ ball girls snagged it beautifully out of the air. Apparently, the Mariners’ third baseman had at one time had had the habit of not wearing a cup. After one accidental play though, he ended up on the injury list for about a month or so. On his return, at his first at bat, the accompanying music was the Nutcracker Suite.

We finished up our work today, so Thursday is pretty much just a travel day. Returning from the left coast pretty much shoots any work day anyway, so even if we left Seattle early, we would still only have a couple of work hours at the end of the day. So I didn’t dare call Barbara for a third flight change. So us guys have a couple of hours to kill before we head to the airport. Who knows what will lurk in a group of engineers group think hearts. Stay tuned …
