Victrola

I was able to spend Saturday with my wife exploring some of Seattle's coffee. Victrola on E Pike took the lead with a helpful barista that pulled this beauty.

The Trail of Evidence OR After 11 Years, This is What Makes a Hot Date.

Killer Winged Slug

As I was out I found this little guy. I was worried that our local Vandals had given up for the fall.

Grimm's two lines.

Daughter: Mom, the sun is in my eyes.

Mom: Be grateful, it will be dark soon enough.

And I really may just grow up and be like You someday

Did You ever get scared playing hide and seek?
Did You try not to cry when You scraped Your knee?
Did You ever skip a rock across a quiet creek?
And did they tell You stories 'bout the saints of old?
Stories about their faith?
They say stories like that make a boy grow bold
Stories like that make a man walk straight 

Sun

Mud, apples and bees were the delights that greeted the pack on Saturday.

HEDAY

Benjamin Knowles wobbled into the New World.

Magic Cocoa Pixie Dust

Mmmmm, mocha.

Too quick $7

I found myself wandering out of Portland and to this classy little establishment.

What's that on your boot?

I spent some time over Labor Day weekend at a Rodeo.

Dena Mora, Look Out!

Montana viral advertising.

Orbit of Office

After several weeks of "things and stuff" I find myself back into something of a more recognizable orbit. Here is one stop.

Es-Kay-Eight

Two groups of people that I try to stay in contact with are middle school students and skaters. Neither group controls much.

On the Rood Again.

Listen! The choicest of visions I wish to tell,
which came as a dream in middle-night,
after voice-bearers lay at rest.

I am going to Montana, and as a previous saint once said, "Let's go with him, that we might die too."

Going for a walk.

I may have found a new friend. Up the street from where I found the last sticker, this little dude stuck his head out from the noise of Division.

Your Lack of Faith is Disturbing

Norman Mailer wrote a book in 1974 that I was able to get at my public library through the intra-library loan system. There is a quote in the second chapter that struck me as important, "The name is the faith of graffiti."

Choking on the Bones

My body tells me that I have had too much food through the discomfort of my gut. If there is something that smells funny or has a dangerous texture then my throat will not let me swollow it.

Chalk lines

Don't look too closely at the lines or you will get dizzy. It is too easy to complain about the confusion that is fronting itself in my life, so instead of throwing up on you dear three readers, I will give you this picture taken in a corner of Lakewood.

$4.39

Seattle can be obnoxious.

Sticker Thoughts

I am glad that someone thinks this.
