Dear : I took my 2008 Audi A4 for routine maintenance. The dealership informed me that they could not check my tire pressure, because I had "aftermarket valve-stem covers." I was confident that I didn't, since I'm a "Suzy Homemaker" type and never added anything fancy to the car. But then my husband strolled in and admitted he had bought some blingy silver-bolt decorative valve-stem covers at the local big-box store without telling me. I'd never noticed.

Question: I visited the new North Cascade Road bridge site to see the process.

Home furnishing catalogs and decor magazines tell us that purple is all the rage, and top designers have been filling clients' homes with everything from purple wallpaper and furniture to purple lampshades and throw pillows. It can be a tough sell, says Betsy Burnham, founder of Burnham Design in Los Angeles, who has used purple frequently this year. Clients sometimes blanch when they hear "purple," envisioning garish, overpowering hues, she says.
