On my 10th birthday my big brother Russell bought me my first bike. April 6th, 1930. What a day. "C'mon, Gerald," he said. "Let's go up to Killingsworth Street."
"Okay," I answered, and we took off. "Where're we going?"
"You'll see." The most exciting place on Killingsworth Street was Darling's Bike Shop. Many times we had feasted our eyes on the row of shiny bikes in the window.
When we turned in there I nearly died. It smelled so good. Rubber-tired heaven.
Russell had already made the choice: a powder blue, 26 inch, balloon-tired baby with steerhorn handlebars. Absolutely the most gorgeous creation from the hand of man. The frame had been broken and brazed down by the sprocket, but I didn't mind.

First, I wanted to let you know that Staples has been deemed an essential business; we are open and ready to serve our community. We see it as a privilege and a large responsibility to continue serving our community. As such, we've compiled a few services to specifically help the restaurant industry and provide just a little more relief.
Beginning Monday, April 6, the West Seattle Water Taxi will be operating reduced a schedule, departure times listed in the table below. For more details about Metro and Sound Transit service reductions please visit the Captain’s Blog.
UPDATE April 5
Peel and Press, West 5, The Bridge, Mission Cantina and The Westy are going to follow up their initial effort to make meals for those in need by doubling the number to 200 Free Meals
The owners of the above-named businesses will be preparing the meals available to medical personnel seniors and those who have lost their jobs due to the current economic realities of the Coronavirus. These meals will be packaged and ready to place in a home oven to finish. With the donations from vendors, owners and generous customers we will be able to produce meals for this week and next week to help bring some stability to those in need.
