I did not feel the earth quake at 5:20 this morning. But the 4.5 magnitude located by Kingston was enough to wake up my husband (who then woke me up).
Did this morning's quake wake you?

Beach Drive Neighbors in "the News"
Kind of a stretch to call this news...but...at Beach Drive Blog, a "slow news" day is happily the norm. The Seattle PI recently addressed the removal of mailboxes in Seattle that are receiving less than 25 pieces of mail a day...yours truly along with other neighbors were quoted here.
Regardless of our feelings, the mailbox at Beach Drive and Jacobsen is gone. The USPS states this is cost-saving move:
"Fewer boxes mean fewer gas-guzzling trips to pick up the mail and fewer carriers to empty the boxes."
It seems to me that the mail carriers who currently service our neighborhood could have easily stopped by to pick up "less than 25 pieces of mail" each day eliminating the other mail carrier that serviced that mail box.
Could be time to invest in a locking mail box, if you don't have one all ready.
UPSP also needs to update their website with where the nearest collection boxes are.

It's Beach Drive Blogs 2nd Anniversary
Our first post started with this post and it's interesting to see what has changed and what has not. I would still love to have other contributors from around the Beach Drive neighborhood. We're located smack dab in the middle and to have folks reporting from the north and south ends would be very helpful.
Beach Drive Blog mark's it's 2nd birthday with 775 posts!
I would like to thank our readers, those of you who contribute via writing articles or emailing tips and by participating with your comments. Thank you all!
