'''''Nice.''''' is the third [[North American]] [[Album (music)|album]] by [[J-Pop]] group [[Puffy AmiYumi]], released in [[2003]]. (See [[2003 in music]]). The US release featured a few track changes: "Atarashii Hibi" and "Tomodachi" were replaced with "Urei", "Teen Titans Theme" and "Planet Tokyo", an English rewrite of "Akai Buranko" (Red Swing).

And what about ferries in other parts of washington besides puget sound? I know of at least two in eastern washington that cross the columbia.

:You could add a few lines to the article, but this article is really about '''Washington State Ferries''' not '''Washington state ferries''', if you get my drift --[[User:Lukobe|Lukobe]] 21:01, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

The cover is an homage to [[John Lennon]] and [[Yoko Ono]]'s "[[bed-in]]" peace protests held in [[1969]].

::I did start writing some stuff in about private ferries, because what I've added isn't even enough to be a good stub and doesn't fit in elsewhere. I'd encourage the anon to add as much stuff as he wants, if a section on private/non-wsdot ferries gets large enough it'd be a great spin-off article.
