SEATTLE -- Maybe it'll happen.

Maybe it won't.

But just the fact that somebody's even considering the idea is just nuts.

So if Tim Croll would stop digging for castaway treasure, I'd like him to come on down.

Tim's the Solid Waste Director of Seattle Public Utilities.

He's right in the thick of it when it comes to spending about $115 million to rebuild and expand Seattle's two garbage transfer stations.

Now, aside from the resident artists that have been hired to spruce things up; aside from the notion of opening a "used-goods" store because one person's trash is another person's treasure, the piece de resistance is the idea of opening up...A TRANSFER STATION CAFÉ!

Ah yes, nothing like a finely cooked meal with all the accompanying ambiance - including the possibility of watching a large TV monitor with a live feed from the disposal pit.

Special of the day waiter?

Depends on what went into the pit last night, sir.

Tim, Tim, Tim: It's just so ridiculous, rancid, revolting and really, really dumb, which is why you should take a bow, because this "Schrammie" is for you.

And Tim, let's not do lunch.

Have something to say to Ken? E-mail him at kenschram@komo4news.com.

And be sure to join Ken, along with John Carlson, on "The Commentators", which airs every weekday from 3-6 p.m. on AM 570 KVI.

It's a lively exchange of information, insight and perspective with two guys who don't agree on much, but still manage to enjoy each other as they tackle issues of the day. Even better, callers are invited in on the verbal action.
