I was walking home late after work, some weeks ago.

On one of the first days of fall. It was several blocks from home...

First we were up at the rally gathering at Volunteer Park.

We were worried at first because it looked a little light, but more and more arrived...

It’s a lovely day. What are YOU doing to make the world a better place?

When it’s a toasty 69 degrees outside it’s time for a walk!

Tonight was a nice warming soup prepared by Saro... A Japanese soup of

Saro walking at Carkeek Park (he’s way ahead of me in green there).

This year we spent Thanksgiving at home here in Seattle.

Riding the Sound Transit in the bus tunnel today I had time to check out their advertising...

Apollo and Nyago wonder where did Jonzu and Saro go?

Well, we’re back in town. Seattle is COLD!

After enjoying our hike at Mima Mounds we needed something to eat.

I hate eating alone at home. When Saro has gone on his business trips like this weekend, I usually eat out.

Gosh-O-Mighty
Duck Tape

Yesterday evening I had to laugh. It was first the sounds, then my imagination. Let me explain.

Jo Ellen Van Ouwerkerk - Birds Flying Backwards.

What is this about Backwards Flying Birds? Well, yesterday was one of those days where it seemed cows could fly...it was windy as heck. In fact it brought down trees, scaffolding, and all kinds of stuff. We had a front row view to watch the storm...

Another birthday! We've made it a tradition to do "Mystery Tours" for our birthdays. One taking the other B-day boy out; without the destination known.

Today I visited the sample modular housing unit project Inhabit on display in downtown Seattle. The units are huddled under the shadow of the all important and watching Rainier Tower; ironic Rainier Bank no longer exists?

More images from my walk on the viaduct...

It was a great day for walking on a freeway... a closed freeway that is.  The Alaskan Way Viaduct in Seattle has been having regular inspections since the frightening Nisqually earthquake back in February 2001. This last Saturday it was open to the public to walk on during one of these regular check ups; as long as you were properly attired and accompanied by the DOT staff.
