The hottest thing in local Seattle politics is the city's war on Saint Rat / Hot Rat Summer, a mosaic that someone put up (without permission) on the old pumphouse in Cal Anderson Park last year. Recently, city workers have been painting over the mosaic, and good citizens have been cleaning off the mosaic to restore it when they do so. It is a fierce battle, and one I hope the citizens win. We must fight for Hot Rat Summer.

@tilton Makes me think at Redwall ...
@tilton Also I think this Hot Rat mosaic is really a piece of art, certainly better than a white wall ! People really can't get art ..
