What the hell does Seattle have to do with RedWest or anything else out on
the East Side?

You might as well confuse San Francisco with Milpitas.

And now, a quote that, for some reason, reminds me of Rich Draves and his
ever-present clippers...

"Like fancy pens and pocket watches, these palmable curios have a
function--that of severing corneous shrapnel from key areas of the human
form with a bracing abruptness, a can-do metallic snap, that leaves their
user with the illusion that he is progressively, clip by hardened-steel
clip, gaining control of his shambling life."
