Mukilteo Musings

It is time for some ONLY IN SEATTLE.

1. Only in Seattle do they sell at REI, teeny weeny propane espresso makers--portable espresso makers--for backpacking. They are sooo cute with a little teeny blue metal cup.

2. Only in Seattle do they recruit a homeless person to hold a sign and stand at a major intersection to advertise new APARTMENTS. My daughter said that is like making a person from Ethiopia serve food in a restaurant.

And my grande finale:

3. Only in Seattle is there a protest of this country's dependency on OIL---by bicyclists---but not just any bicyclists. These people, men and women, were NAKED (except for helmets, of course). Yesterday, they looped through Seattle including downtown and our beloved International Fountain at Seattle Center. Nobody was arrested because NOBODY complained. One person at the International Fountain said they were much more concerned about people smoking around the fountain and leaving cigarette butts than people expressing their First Amendment rights by riding a bicycle nude. Like I said.....Only In Seattle.
