the road to chartreuse

I wanted a bottle of yellow chartreuse. The Washington State Liquor Control Board web-inventory said there existed precisely one bottle of yellow chartreuse within Seattle city limits, in a Northgate store. Driving there was such a remarkable clusterfuck that I just had to laugh hollowly.


it's like one of those Family Circus cartoons with the wiggly path everywhere.  um.  except amusing?

You didn't get used to that after living in Pittsburgh?

Clearly, you took Billy and Dolly along for the ride. :)

Most excellent map.

*laugh*

I hope, after all that, that you didn't miss getting that bottle by five minutes.

At least you didn't run across that cop that sits around Northgate just waiting for someone to cross into the 'you can't actually drive on this road' zone.

It sounds to me like you have some plans for absolutely evil drinks. I admit, i'm curious.

Seattle roads are a lot like Pittsburgh, except the five-way intersections here come with five-high traffic lights including diagonal arrows. It's high-tech.

The initial plan is to sip it straight. This may qualify as evil.
