We see it across the lake. It takes a seagull less than a minute to get to it. For us its 20 minutes by car, 40 minutes by bus, 60 minutes by walking.

 jim  Seattle-Fremont Dock
On the advice from my bus stop buddy (Patty), we went down the road to Fremont Dock. We didn't see a dock.
It looked like a dive to me. Its not the kind of place Becky and I usually hang out at.
Becky ordered the best Reuben I'd ever tasted. I had a country burger (BLT, egg burger). VERY NICE!

 jim  Capitol Hill, Seattle

We toured a little Euro restaurant.
It had hallways that were 2 foot wide.
They were defined by curtains. Tiny tables were behind them with 8 people sitting around them. It had a bar that was 10 foot wide with 9 people sitting at it. I am so serious. That was pretty wild!!! I could have fit the restaurant in our small apartment.

We  missed its attractions, somehow.
We walked a mile north from Broadway and Denny. It was alright.. We wolfed down some gyros at this near vacant hole-in-the-wall. The people who worked there were Greek. wow....

Anyway, my judgement is on hold.
I've heard the warm weather will bring out the street entertainment here. 
I am realizing that Seattle is pretty big, and pretty crowded. We haven't begun to see it all.
I finally fouund decent beer at QFC.
Its called Hornsby's Hard Cider.

 jim  Walking to Starbucks in the AM
Its a 0.5 mile walk to Starbucks from our apartment. It takes just 10 minutes to walk it. That is COOL!
This old dump truck probably still runs! Its got a load of dirt in its bed. The Backhoe behind it has a load of dirt !

 jim  Seattle-Where Are You?
It's amazing how often Seattle dissappears, then reappears just right outside our balcony. The picture below is Mt Rainier which is 60 miles away.
The rest are from this morning.
We're still waiting for blue skies

 jim  Freaky in Seattle
The lady in the green raincoat muttered "They murdered my entire family because I pressed charges and wouldn't drop them".
She was just going on and on. Her English was excellent.
There are a lot of gothic people here.
A couple walked by me and one was mumbling "I can't believe all of this depressing #$^@ is happening. Its hard to go on.". They were walking about .5 miles an hour. I wanted to say, "The depressing stuff might stop if you just walk faster to your appointments!", but I stayed quiet.
Probably the strangest thing I heard today;
A homeless person asked me for a cigarette. I told him I only had a couple. Then he asked me "Can I just have a couple of puffs then"....wow.
And the most unexpected thing I heard today was...
A Japanese looking fellow entered Starbucks, and with a thick British accent, he ordered a latte. His accent was a complete surprise. I guess we'll be seeing a lot of that as the world becomes one.
