Especially, the hills and steep streets.  <br />
Residents are unable to move their cars, go to the store, We are Tramped, and the no one cares.  It is unfair with the taxes we pay and not to have a truck of sand or salt.  Suggestion use the garage truck to spread salt or sand to help the neighborhood. <br />

        <![CDATA[<p>With high winds forecast for this weekend and possible power outages, it's time to take steps to stay safe and avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.<br />
How to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning<br />
Carbon monoxide can kill you or cause serious injury. Carbon monoxide gas comes from burning fuels such as gasoline, propane, oil, kerosene, natural gas, coal or wood. Here are some steps to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. <br />
•	Never use a gas or charcoal grill, hibachi, or portable propane heater to cook indoors or heat your home.<br />
•	During a power outage or at any other time, do not operate fuel-powered machinery such as a generator indoors, including the garage <br />
•	Avoid combustion "space heaters" unless there is an exhaust vent<br />
Carbon monoxide poisoning can strike suddenly and without warning. In some cases, physical symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning may include splitting headache, nausea and vomiting, and lethargy and fatigue. If you believe you could be experiencing carbon monoxide poisoning, get fresh air immediately. Call for medical help from a neighbor's home. The Fire Department will tell you when it is safe to reenter the home.<br />
For a full list of carbon monoxide prevention tips and other safety and disaster information in English and other languages, visit www.kingcounty.gov/health/disaster.<br />
Other important safety tips <br />
•	Make sure you are wearing enough warm clothing before going outdoors. Wind speed can create dangerously cold conditions even when the temperature is not that low. <br />
•	If you think power will be out for several days, check with your city for location of warming shelters.<br />
•	Watch for signs of frostbite and hypothermia--slurred speech, confusion, uncontrollable shivering, stumbling, drowsiness and body temperature of 95 degrees Fahrenheit or less. Get medical help immediately if you think someone has frostbite or hypothermia. <br />
•	Check on elderly friends, family, and neighbors to make sure they are safe. <br />
•	If power goes out where you live, keep food safe by keeping the doors closed on your refrigerators and freezers as much as possible. A full freezer can stay at freezing temperatures about two days; a half-full freezer about 1 day. Potentially hazardous foods, like meat and fish, should be discarded if thawed and warmer that 41 degrees F. </p>]]>

I work at Alderwood Mall. Many of the store managers and employees are so upset that we are not allowed to close early. Mall management was rude and short with us; we are all stressed about how to get home safely tonight. Clearly, the news reports the weather storm to bring more snow and icy roads. </p>

<p>Alderwood Mall management is being unethical in ignoring these severe weather warnings and dangerous conditions. How can we expect to get home when the buses will also be off schedule? Are we expected to camp out in our stores? Be cold and stranded?</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>Today I watched as a Metro bus slid down S.W. Morgan street. The bus was stopped at the top of the hill, apparently the driver was comtemplating his next move, and to my astonishment the driver chose to continue his downward slid.  Not only could the bus driver see vehicles, with cables on, sliding down the hill he was also advised by a driver of another vehicle, with chains on, that it was pure ice under the snow and that he should not try to navigate the hill.  There were cars skidded out along the road and children on the sidewalks.  As the bus driver started down the hill he immediately began to slide, at one point he could have stopped and all would have been O.K., but the driver did not chose to stop.  The bus and driver were stopped, almost immdeiately, by a utility pole on 39th Avenue S.W. and S.W. Morgan street, in front of my house.  Thankfully he did not hit a child or a home.</p>

<p>I have to ask myself: what was he thinking or why wasn't he thinking?  Not only is the bike rack, front grill and mirror of the bus damaged, but so is the utility pole.  How much is this irresponsible decision going to costs the taxpayers of Seattle?  Police had to come, the Metro supervisor had to come, and the utilities person was here to access the damage.  What is Metro telling there drivers to do in these conditions, drive on?  </p>

<p>In times like these a little common sense would go a long way and save us taxpayers countless dollars.</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>It's a little late notice, but I wanted to make sure I let Citizen Rainers know about Write-O-Rama this Saturday, December 6, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. at Hugo House. Write-O-Rama is an all-day writing extravaganza of mini-writing workshops, readings, food and prizes. To attend, participants must raise at least $45 in pledges and come ready to write. Prizes are awarded for those who raise the most money. More information at www.hugohouse.org/giving/writeorama or (206) 322-7030.</p>

<p><br />
This is a fundraising event put on totally by the goodwill of local artists and teachers who share Hugo House's excitement about writing and want to come together to support it. It's an extremely lively, community-spirited event that is all about people getting down to grassroots for something they care about. As local poet and Write-O-Rama attendee John Burgess put it, "Got to be sure Hugo House keeps doing the things they do."</p>

<p>This past summer's Write-O-Rama raised $9,000 for the House almost entirely in small (but significant) donations that put together attest to the power of strength in numbers--a fundraising accomplishment that may sound vaguely familiar...</p>

<p>The upcoming Write-O-Rama's host of local teachers includes (but is not limited to): comic book writer David Lasky and poet/literary journal editor Jennifer Borges-Foster, as well as Cienna Madrid and Ed Skoog, both writers and Hugo House writers-in-residence.  Among the local writers attending as fundraisers are: John Burgess (quoted above), Juan Carlos Reyes and Himanee Gupta-Carlson.</p>

<p>So: come, eat, read, write, be merry!</p>]]>
