I don't have time to write about the tour, but I'm sure the Paper Noose will provide some sharp commentary later on. (I saw his name on the list for the afternoon tour.) But anyway, here are some of the photos.
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign.
They made us all wear hardhats because of falling bricks.
As my friend Heather, a civil engineer, would say: "Engineering sadness."
Even though we were supposed to spend the evening at home, cleaning the house, we went out for dinner here last night. Bison burger, salad, and Georgetown Brewing's Chopper Red Ale. I half-drunkenly text-messaged friends all over the country, asking them to join us. (No one did.) Then we went home and walked around the neighborhood, and a neighbor invited us for a beer on their lawn. Nice!
I often find myself wishing that I had a sweet SLR instead of just a little point-and-shoot. That feeling is particularly acute at this moment.
The swanky new Via Tribunali pizza place is going in here.
Our house is right behind some of those trees at the top of the hill.
Another woman on the tour asked me to take this photo, as she works in the red-roofed school there on the hill. (If you are that woman, and you are reading this right now, you can click on the photo and download a larger size if you like.)
It's tempting.
The end!
That was fun. Were the spiral stairs built into the wall like that, or the wall built onto the stairs? I couldn't tell. Very strange.
ReplyDeleteIf I give you my phone number, will you send me text messages too? I love text messages. I love that commercial with the little girl who talks to her mom in TM-ese.
I always spell every word out because I don't know the TM-ese. I feel like that's kind of contrived at this point. I mean it's not like anyone would think I don't know proper English if I used the shorthand. It's pretty clear I know English.
I think the stairs were built onto the wall.
ReplyDeleteYes, I will text-message you if you give me your phone number. You are my blog mentor! But I'm not sure how you will give me your phone number.

ReplyDeleteCool! I'll drunkenly text-message you sometime. Can you get photos on your phone? I'll probably send you a cell phone photo of some drinks on the table at a bar, followed by a text message about how much I am loving the Black Sabbath or Three Dog Night or whatever song is on the jukebox.
ReplyDeleteI can't get pictures on my phone. Not that I know of. I guess we could test that.
ReplyDeleteIn love with these photos. Will you email me please at dan(atsign)seattlest.com? Can't figure out how else to contact you.
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks. I e-mailed you. Let me know if you didn't get my message.
