Well, there's at least one member of the King County Council thinking about the future of RapidRide and the fact that we've gotten much slower at delivering transit upgrades intended to increase frequency, speed, and reliability.

I have a question I've been too embarassed to ask and it occurred to me you have an idea about it.
Bandcamp has a universe of indie, pop, metal of all kinds, jazz, and rap ... but doesn't seem to have much R&B .. much soul.
Do you a notion why that might be?
