Glorious hussy

Or so announced the subject-line on some spam I trapped today, but I had just been outside looking at another: Mt Rainier. Why is it that we don't have a Rainier cam on the UW homepage? The view down Rainier Vista was ... glorious.

Also spotted on the walk: several people walking around with little flags of the People's Republic of China. President Hu Jintao of the PRC is in Seattle today practicing what the New York Times called "checkbook diplomacy." You know, buying Boeing jets and Windows licenses. Here Seattle plays the hussy, possibly more shameless than glorious.

But it's a beautiful day out there. It smells like fresh money.
