Those southerners have all the fun.

With everyone on edge about a storm approaching in the gulf, I thought it important to point out that in malls throughout Seattle people are paying $2 to be whipped about in a wind tunnel at approximately 150 miles an hour to experience the awesomeness and wrath of a tropical cyclone. A hub for natural disasters- volcanoes, tsunamis, landslides, and earthquakes- the northwest apparently does not get its fill of hurricanes and Seattlites feel, well, left out. Boo.

Edward Scissorhands and iphones don't mix

Innocently waiting for the bus downtown, I was traumatized by what I first thought was a rerun of Tales from the cript, but in actually was a nail salon's window display. First, the size of the nails themselves (good god those things could poke your eye out), then the cobwebs between them. But worse than that was the thought that these people could get their hands on my iphone. With those fingernails?

If you lived here, you'd be home now

It's kind of hard to tell, but that purple door is most definitely shorter than I (5'4'') am. Also, making this significantly weirder is that the man in the picture is putting a large plastic mannequin in his trunk. Ten seconds too late on capturing that! Dang.

They Use Lint Rollers On Their Dogs

Goldberg's Delicatessen (at Factoria mall)

Ive (finally) found a Jewish deli that serves nice honey baked ham sandwiches and BLTs.

Multitasking

This is not a good picture but it's the best I could do while driving, working hard not to look like a stalker, and trying to keep up with.... the woman riding her bicycle while walking her dog on a leash!

U Send Me

A drive through for a dry cleaning place? Really, is this necessary? And then there is the sign. What is this about? Swing lyrics, perhaps? Oh Seattle, you have my heart already. There really is no need to keep up the strangeness.
