The conversation with the homeless guy at the bus stop this morning defies description.
Then the bus driver says in a carnival voice: "We are now in the free ride area..." *beat* "... welcome to the Twilight Zone."
As he approached 5th Avenue he announced: "Next stop... 5th Avenue... Macy's, Nordstrom's... consumer heaven... the Frye Apartment guy."*
On my way to the office, a woman dressed as an apple handed me gift certificate for free ice cream.
This is really my kind of day.
* For Non-Seattlites: The Frye Apartment guy is a beloved fixture. He holds up a mysterious sign that says (among other things) the Frye Apartments and the Seattle police are the devil, and yells incoherently with a Carribbean accent. He has been there every day, all day, since at least 1997. Everyone knows he has a place to live, but his quest for vengeance on the Frye Apartment is legendary.
