Sprint

True to form, I will start with a picture of a bathroom. It's actually from the same bathroom I took a picture of three weeks ago. I realized what made that bathroom so neat: the floor! Check out this kickin' tile:

it resembles wood

Now that's out of the way, let's move on to a hobo sign.

I found this on the sidewalk. I've never seen an abandoned homeless person's sign before. A couple days later it was still there, but had been turned over:

is this a joke?

Next up, we've got a maple bar.

that's a big maple bar

I walked half an hour, part of the way up a rather steep hill, to get a dozen doughnuts before work. A dozen costs $17.00 (!) but I had a half-off coupon. Boo-yah.

I saw this car while waiting in traffic. I was surprised that it was still derivable.

definitely not freeway safe, but that's the direction it was heading

I wish I could fire the person who put this in my building.

My roommate and I drove to Issaquah last week to eat at a restaurant named Triple XXX Root Beer. Apparently it used to be a fairly well known brand. There are only two restaurants left that sport the name, and only one them still uses the original XXX formula. The one we visited does not. That didn't much matter though because their root beer had good food and a unique atmosphere.

Before eating I used their bathroom.

thanks for grossing me out

After making sure to wash my hands, I ate.

I was in the parking lot the other night..

and the perfect picture found me.

The garage can get somewhat crowded, so this represents a significant achievement:

Me: 1, Parking garage: 0

I have yet to duplicate that maneuver, but someday..

For some reason I really get a kick out of seeing a 0ft elevation.

But I got an even bigger kick out of this:

I've never seen one of these.

I am on the left.

this is meant to be a teaser

*drum roll* I ate sushi for the first time in my life.

We had a water balloon fight for FHE.

Mangoes are my favorite fruit, so I was ecstatic to find this product.

yummy

I went to Green Lake a while back. They had a diving board platform installed about 60 feet from the shore.

There was this rock there.

? you tell me

And this spider gate at a nearby home.

I've been making things lately. Here a couple of my creations:

On my way to Portland I spied this large object close to the freeway:

It turned out to be the Tacoma Dome.

I enjoyed seeing the Seattle skyline on my way back home.
