2017 – Day 20

Friday, January 20, 2017

Just as I suspected, school today, albeit a two-hour late start.  Why is it always the days I want to go home early to Winthrop are the days school runs? 🙂  

Yesterday was a bit surreal with all the ice; I felt like I was on Hoth (Star Wars fans will know what I mean).

I am beginning to see a lot of the “Vote Yes for Schools” signs around Moses Lake.  There’s only 22 days until the day of the vote.  Fingers crossed.

Last night, I sat down at Starbucks and took my pre-assessment for Introduction to Probability and Statitics and I’m happy that I got 76% (well above the 61% cutoff).  

I hope to speak to my course mentor this morning and get approval to take the assessment over the weekend.  Statistics has been my albatross this term.


There was a restaurant/deli in the Fauntleroy district of West Seattle back in the early 2000s that I enjoyed going to.  This establishment was short-lived (probably stemming from how unpleasantly the owner/operator treated his patrons), but I really liked the business’s name (and logo) and it struck me to do a quick search online and see whatever happened to the business.  It turns out all I could find was a couple online articles from the Stranger – nothing else.  It’s been at least 15 years since the business folded and I wondered if any other business was using the same same so I decided to do some investigating.

First, I searched to see if the domain name was available – it is, then I went onto the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s Trademark Electronic Search System (TESS) to see if there’s any trademark associated with this business name and there’s not.  

Now all I’m left with is, do I want to register this domain?
