How about the Jimi Hendrix Experience Music Project/Science Fiction Hall of Fame?

Visits Pike Place market.
Visit the Hiram M. Chittenden locks. Might be some salmon there this time of year, maybe not. But still interesting.

Drop in on Ken Jennings.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

I'm working on the problem, as well as one can work on a leak from the comfort of this Starbucks cybercafe....

You think so? Ken didn't include any names or identifying details (except that this family has a 18-year-old daughter). It seemed like a good example letter for Ken to quote, in order to discuss this aspect of his "fame".PlacentiaSoccerMom wrote: It's kind of nasty for him to take a private email and post it on a public blog that has a large audience.
And if Ken was a little annoyed by the e-mail and using his blog to vent, wouldn't you feell that way, too?

I would never do that, but that's the point I am trying to make.

We're two private individuals, and we understand the differences implied in communicating via private messages vs. posting it publically. So, yes, disclosing something I wanted kept private would be bad manners.PlacentiaSoccerMom wrote:If you sent me a private email, how would you feel if I quoted it on the bored.MarleysGh0st wrote:You think so?

But what was the private content here, that Ken was violating by quoting it on his blog? Whoever that guy was, he's still totally anonymous.
Yes, he's probably pissed, if he read that on the blog. But he was already pissed. Now, at least, he might also be embarrassed!
