Before we leave the taken-for-granted safety of our homes each day, we should think about the image we are projecting to the world and also what we are doing that might be observed in a negative way by someone who has a different view than we do.
In the case of the mother and daughter shot recently, I'm afraid someone made a horrible mistake. Were they trying to rid the world of lesbians in their stupid way of thinking?
As someone that walks a lot, I would like to ask residents to do their civic duty and keep sidewalks clear of vegetation and debris (and cars) as well as trimming trees and shrubs away from the sidewalk and up to eight feet above.
Owners are also required to repair sidewalks with bulges or other problems. This is per Seattle Municipal Code Section 15.72.010.
It is sometimes difficult to walk in some areas and an overhanging branch once caused me a trip to the emergency room for a scratched cornea. It must be even more difficult for those in wheelchairs.

Work crews are reforming the 59-year-old underground Myrtle Street Reservoir to place a concrete cover over the drinking water to discourage terrorists and keep the water cleaner.
The new lid will be covered with soil and grass and the area around the reservoir, which has long been fenced off, will be opened for public use.
Work is expected to continue until next year on the $6.3 million project.

Surprisingly, both reservoirs will end up considerably smal
Repaving 1.5 miles of California Avenue and a few blocks of Admiral Way is scheduled to begin in mid-August and will bring changes to crosswalks and intersections from Admiral Way to Edmunds Street in the Junction.
Road construction will continue until winter and be completed sometime next spring within 110 workdays. The contractor is Gary Merlino Construction Co.
Merchants were pleased with the 2006 edition of the Junction summer festival, which brought an estimated record-breaking 50,000 people to the business district during the three-day event.
