Video ~ Bagpipers practice in our neighborhood
It's not often 'round these parts one hears the sound of bagpipes blowing around in the wind. As Sarah and I sat watching some TV last night, we heard just that. Actually, we didn't know what it was a first that easily could've been in our heads during muted commercials. I stepped outside and confirmed the sound and the direction it was coming from. With that, we decided to set out and find them. Turns out we didn't have to go far as they were practicing (likely for this weekend's Highland Games in Enumclaw) in a church parking lot just three blocks away! They were pretty good, too. See for yourself:
This sort of thing should happen more often in neighborhoods because it pulled people out of their homes and off their jogging routes just to listen. I guess we just have to enjoy it when we can.

Winfield's closed (update 1)
Intrepid KFnet friend Erik B. tossed a comment on an old entry that Winfield's Twisted Cue Club is out of business and closed. I'll look into it and have more later. Here's to hoping it's not true since that part of town can surely use good businesses and life. If anyone has any details, feel free to share in the comments below.
Update (2007-07-25 @ 7:48pm)
Ed's Diner (which admittedly I don't follow -- too much good web content here in Tacoma I tells ya!) had a post about it yesterday and I stopped by tonight to get a look for myself. There were sad faces on a couple of the employees and, though I didn't want to bother him, the owner Tom. The little orange signs on the building read "Winfield's Now closed Will Not Reopen."
