[9] On the ninth day of Christmas my true love gave to me nine ladies dancing, eight maids a-milking, seven swans a-swimming, six geese a-laying, five gold rings, four calling birds, three French hens, two doves and a partridge in a pear tree. Impress those ladies with the latest fun gadgets like the manual milk foamer, the eggperforator, the pinstring or the ketchy. Come by our store to take a look at those products and find more great gift ideas.

This is the first in a series of eight posts about the eight folks who want to take Doug Mah's old seat on the Olympia city council. I decided to start out with an applicant of whom I knew nothing about. Karen Rogers is a former Department of Ecology employee. former state house staffer and current consultant. Her application packet (embeded below) is impressive in terms of depth of the answers and experience, but I coudn't get past the fact that she's lived in Olympia for only two years. This isn't that much of a problem for me, I've voted for impressive public servants who've lived in an area for a short time, but this comment from her packet set me back:
So, I'm not going to go much further in exploring Karen Rogers. She seems nice, but there are better places to learn than the Olympia City Council. Thanks. She should look into the many advisory committees that the city council has set up. With her professional experience and education she would be a valuable member of the Utility Advisory Committee or the Planning Commission.

It was a short-lived local show in the 1960s, can't remember which network. And when I say short I mean only a month or so. It involved, oddly enough, 3 cats. And a penguin. The penguin didn't do much, but the 3 cats had wacky adventures of the sitcom kind. There was a supporting character, an invisible cat named Joey. The show had a live audience, which was unusual for a local broadcast. The cats were given bad voiceovers by hammy actors. Like Rango or My Mother the Car, I have only hazy memories of this. Is this is a dream or did anyone else out there watch this thing?

Found this ad on the back of a 1968 Olympia street map and thought it belonged in OlyBlog's vault of images. There was no place else like Sea Mart/Yard Birds around here.
