Robert Raketty was about 8 or 9 years old the night he looked out from a ferry from Bremerton and asked his father what the bright, spinning globe was on the coast of Elliott Bay.
"At that moment, I fell in love with it," Raketty said this morning. "Ever since, when I drive by, or I'm coming down on the ferry, I'm amazed."
Now, its your turn. I want to hear your stories about the PI globe. If your generous with your stories, I might even post a baby picture of myself one of these days.

Put the ancient artifact away for good! It's out dated , and to old for the Seattle of the future. Put it somewhere so the people in this city, who refuse to grow up, can go visit it, and the rest of us , who want to move on, can do so. And while we're at it, let's get rid of that rusted heap of junk that you people call " Gasworks Park" ! Most disgusting in city park that I've ever been to.Please scrap that rust bucket, and build a beautiful proper park, with trees and picnic tables....like you find in Chiago, Boston, and N.Y.. This city needs to move ahead!! Joe Adam
I once had a chance to see the globe up close and in personal about a decade ago and its even more impressive from that vantage point. It's a remarkable piece and I applaud the builders who made the the thing in 1948 and the improvements that have been made since.
Joe,
Like it or not, people attach feelings to objects. Do you look at your car as simply an object or have you given it a name and/or talk to it. Most people do.
More importantly, I think objects tell stories. That's why there are so many museums full of artifacts. It’s from these artifacts that historians and archeologists discover the stories about places and people.
How can an object that represents a 146 year old Seattle newspaper, a newspaper which has documented so much of the city's history not be significant?
A city with no link to the past doesn't sound like a city I would like to live in. I lived here my whole life and have seen much change.
I don't advocate protectionism but I certainly don't advocate a wholesale disregard of our history either. I believe there should be a balance of both.

Once upon a time air travel was a great deal simpler than it is today. You called one of a few airlines that flew from your airport, the agent would tell you what flights were available for a given time, and you booked the one you wanted. Airports were always bustling places, especially during the holidays, but as long as you gave yourself adequate time, the process was usually the same. You would check your bags, go through the x-ray machine, get your boarding pass, and wait patiently at the appropriate gate. Once you got on the plane you ate the snack or meal that came with your flight and watched a movie.
In recent years travel by plane has become significantly more complicated. There are so many different configurations for flights and types of fares. Dire economic circumstances have caused airlines to raise rates and charge extra fees for everything from baggage to blankets. There are complex rules about what you can and cannot carry in your luggage. It can be very difficult to determine whether you are getting the best deal or the best services when you buy an airline ticket. The internet makes the navigation of airlines, airports, and flight itineraries easier, but, even so, be prepared to do some research if you want to find a flight at the best price.
Here is something up front that might save you time and money right off the bat. If you are traveling within the United States mainland, always look at Southwest Airlines first. Southwest is almost always the best deal you will find. However, Southwest itineraries do not appear on the major travel websites, so always go directly to the airline's website for information. Plug in your travel plans, and you will get a list of all the flights that are available. Southwest typically charges more reasonable prices than other airlines, and there are no hidden fees. The price you see is the price you get although tax and the government fee that is attached to all flights does apply. For lower prices than you can probably get anywhere else look at the "web only" fares, but keep in mind that these fares are not refundable.

Hello friend amazing and very interesting blog about My corny but true PI globe story revealed
In 1959 phentermine first received approval from the FDA as an appetite suppressing drug. Phentermine hydrochloride then became available in the early 1970s. It was previously sold as Fastin from King Pharmaceuticals for SmithKline Beecham, however in 1998 it was removed from the market. Medeva Pharmaceuticals sells the name brand of phentermine called Ionamin and Gate Pharmaceuticals sells it as Adipex-P. Phentermine is also currently sold as a generic. Since the drug was approved in 1959 there have been almost no clinical studies performed. The most recent study was in 1990 which combined phentermine with fenfluramine or dexfenfluramine and became known as Fen-Phen.[citation needed]
In 1997 after 24 cases of heart valve disease in Fen-Phen users, fenfluramine and dexfenfluramine were voluntarily taken off the market at the request of the FDA. Studies later proved that nearly 30% of people taking fenfluramine or dexfenfluramine had abnormal valve findings. The FDA did not ask manufacturers to remove phentermine from the market.
[url=http://www.buyphentermine1.com]buy phentermine[/url] Phentermine is still available by itself in most countries, including the U.S. However, because it is similar to amphetamines, it is classified as a controlled substance in many countries (including Australia). Internationally, phentermine is a schedule IV drug under the Convention on Psychotropic Substances.[1] In the United States, it is classified as a Schedule IV controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act.
Looking forward, Phentermine is being studied with another medication for obesity. The experimental appetite suppressant drug Qnexa is a mixture of Phentermine and Topiramate.
Phentermine, in doses clinically used, works on the hypothalamus portion of the brain to release norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter or chemical messenger that signals a fight-or-flight response, reducing hunger. Phentermine works outside the brain as well to release epinephrine or adrenaline causing fat cells to break down stored fat, but the principal basis of efficacy is hunger-reduction. At high doses, phentermine releases serotonin and dopamine as well, but such doses are never used in clinical medicine.

In bingo, each player will get a sheet, which has six cards with a total of 90 numbers. On each one of these bingo cards, you will find 27 spaces grouped in 9 columns x 3 rows format. Each number is unduplicated; hence, it will not be repeated anywhere else in the sheet.

Dental hygiene is vasty important to complete well being. Most people don't assume of their oral hygiene as a part of their wellness, but many well being related problems stem from infections within the mouth. See your dentist twice a year and avoid any unecessary health complications that could have been avoided in case you did your 2 yearly check ups.
