See-At-Tull!

I am here in Seattle. So far, it is cold and damp. Delicious.

It's always a bit of a shocker to go from a fake urban environment to a real 'un. The drunk/high ndns at the bus stop were a classic touch.

Today, I will go on an expedition to purchase a few things, and then I will make jam. Delicious jam, of raspberries. Jam jam jam. Maybe that will be today's illustration.

Quick Report

Got a phone call from FedEx, bikes arriving tomorrow morning. Drat to that, but life will go on.

This morning: went over to PCC and picked up a strange assortment of bulk goods (namely, 2 pints of shampoo and a crap-ton of peppercorns). Re-named my mom's bicycle--it will now be known as Crap Hound. I used to call it the Blue Devil. I put on long underwear under my skirt because it is cold here, and I was too stupid to bring pants. I also put on socks under my ridiculous red sandals because it is cold here. popcultureicon says I will fit in nicely with the locals, although I keep feeling like I'm being watched as I zoom past people on Crap Hound.

Then I stopped in at E.T.G. (Espresso to Go), Seattle's second-oldest coffeeshop that's still around. If I get around to it, I will upload that illustration. Tasty. Then I stopped in at Theo's to pick up some supplies for our weekend excursion. Five bars of chocolate for five people should be sufficient, I hope, at least for the first day.

I also made our reservation for the Conference Bike. We shall ride it down to the Ocean! Hurrah!

Now, jammy jam.
