Disruption

Life is disrupted right now. I’m not sure how soon I may be consistent with my posting again.

Here’s a shot of part of the Seattle skyline I took on a hazy day last May.

Sweet temptations

An archives photo from a visit to Boston last year. Fond memories. I’d be in serious trouble if we had something like that here.

I took this photo two months ago on a trip to Seattle. I took it out the window of the car as we undertook one of DH’s driving adventures. It started with “If we drive down two blocks here and turn the road will lead us right onto Aurora Avenue and then it will be a straight shot up to Edmonds.”

This was in one of the neighborhoods we explored while we searched for Aurora. It became sort of a magical mystery tour. When we asked for directions from a cop who was directing traffic around a street construction projects he responded, “I don’t know. I’m not from around here.”

Yeah. There were some tense moments. But we were speaking again by the time we eventually turned onto Aurora Avenue.

Toe truck

I spied this in Seattle last week, next to the business “Lincoln’s Towing.”

Floating garden

We spent a few days in Seattle last week, before the eruption of protests there. This was a pretty sight on Lake Union.

Armchair travel

The U.S. Capitol building last November.

And now for something completely different

Need to get away from home for a beat? Let’s do a quick hop to the Museum of African American History in Washington D.C. Here’s Chuck Berry’s Cadillac Eldorado.

And here’s Chuck Berry’s Gibson guitar, also known as Maybellene, named after his first big hit.

There! You’ve had a quick interlude of American culture.
