Only upon the right-hand roadway

Couldn't be simpler:

Per the local paper, Seattle Municipal Code 11.53.080 states that "every vehicle shall be driven only upon the right-hand roadway unless directed or permitted to use another roadway by official traffic-control devices or peace officers."

This means you have to drive all the way around traffic circles on the proper side of the roadway, just like any other driving situation. A logical, simple, un-misinterpretable rule.

Fair weather

I found my short-sleeved self at quarter to six this evening in the rear of an eighteen-member peloton stopped at a light. I pulled over at the next light and watched another group of bikers stack up and surge forward, and yet another. I thought:

1. Way to go, everybody.
2. Come one, come all, racer and clunker, kiddies and sporties and fat guys. Come on and ride.
3. See you in January?

Sure they will.

According to the NYT, Treasury Secretary Henry M. Paulson Jr. says:

checks from the stimulus package would go out in May and June and that they would add 500,000 to 600,000 jobs to the economy.

Yea, sure. Somehow a flood of $600 checks next month from the government is going to lead to the creation of 600,000 new jobs. Right. Ass.
