A bail hearing in King County Superior Court was held March 3 for double murder suspect Michael Dudley, charged with 2nd degree murder of Austin Wenner and Jessica Lewis last June. The arrest was made in August. The crime drew international attention since it involved killing and later dismembering the bodies, putting them in garbage bags, then suitcases, then disposing of them in local waterways. The suitcases were recovered June 19 near Anchor Park in West Seattle.

Pat's View: How do you measure?

By Patrick Robinson

How do we measure ourselves?

As you look back on your life, regardless of your age or stage, how do you measure it?

Do you measure it by the number of years? We all know people who seem to either always have a youthful outlook or seen another way, never seem to be able to grow up.

How about accomplishments? Whatever level of schooling you’ve gone through, is that how you measure yourself?

Is it your weight or height or miles you can walk or run? Is it the amount of weight you can lift? or number of reps you can do? Is the number of flights of stairs you can climb?

When you were a kid it was how long you can hold your breath or how tall you were.

How about the number of children you’ve had or jobs you’ve had, or hours you’ve worked?

For many people it’s the number of toys they have bought, or the amount of money they earn.
