There are various repairs still being done around town from the earthquake last February, and they&#8217;re currently closing down the Ballard bridge (the most direct route between Ballard and downtown Seattle, and the route the #18 bus usually takes) each night, forcing the bus to take a longer route. Not normally a big deal, except that it gave me that much longer to listen to some woman who had this <em>amazingly<\/em> stereotypical &#8216;New York Jewish&#8217; accent rattle on and on.
