I am glad I didn't pick this day to take the kids up to see the view. The day we went (after having gone to the EMP next door) was much better. ;)

It was a salmon steak, if I remember correctly :-)
The Space Neddle was "swinging" pretty heavy on that particular day, and I had a strange feeling going up and down with the elevator that is mounted on the outside of the needle...

The Space Needle, having been built in an earthquake zone, is flexible, but supposed to be very resilient and safe due to the flexibility. It was built for the World's Fair there, in 1962. My Mom worked there, and I attended "In Utero", as a result. ;)

Nikola would have been proud.....but I really want to know what that building over in Tacoma that was getting hit pretty hard was.

Yeah, and the top should pop off as it explodes, start spinning, and sail off into the heavens in search of brave new worlds. tOta may be driving in fact. ;) :D
