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.
