Popular watches

Within minutes, l'administrateur had procured a half-dozen flashlights - crappy little things, Chinese-made, it was pointed out to me repeatedly, but at least now I could see the muck I was standing ankle-deep in, even if I couldn't see my ankles.

I grabbed my backpack, which held only my laptop, satellite modem, satellite phone and a half-liter of water, and we were on our way. Matt and I checked our watches. It was about 10 p.m.
The night air was crisp and cool, and the first hour was actually enjoyable. L'administrateur was good company and we lagged behind the pack with two soldiers as he told a short history of post-independence Congo and pointed out nearby hills from which Hutu militias often attacked them. But I started to waver with the weight on my back and the fatigue setting in, and I took a couple of spills. With each of my slips, l'adminstrateur,ever the party man, pointed out the failure of the Congolese government to build a proper road through this godforsaken forest.

Eighteen Washington counties are under advisories, watches and severe weather warnings. Rain and high winds are expected to cause flooding along many Western Washington rivers today. There is an increased risk of landslides that have already closed the Chuckanut Drive. The Red Cross is preparing to open emergency shelters in Snohomish County. We'll have an update on the wicked weather warnings.
Also, the Port of Seattle has tentatively approved an 11 percent increase in King County property taxes
