Life Apropos of Nothing

What a FUCKING GORGEOUS day, right?
Sorry there’s been almost nothing on Slog today, kids. It probably had something to do with how FUCKING GORGEOUS it was. Highlights: riding one’s bike down steep, sylvan Interlaken Drive; then across the University Bridge (up in the air, Titanic-like); then (as the bridge slowly lowered) seeing Michael Seiwerath and his daughter on a two-person bike (with orange flag!); then that award-winning ride along Lake Union past Gasworks and past Fremont and past that part just past the Fremont Bridge (“Wait, am I in Europe?”), then a stop at Dutch Bike Co. Seattle in Ballard; then a weird salad and many soda refills at Baja Fresh; then riding along Westlake, in the shade of Queen Anne Hill, and passing the staggering sight of two half-crunched cars on top of each other and attentive, practically weeping police vehicles stretching in both directions; and, of course, a breeze and sunshine the whole way. One was going to write something long and reflective on Slog about Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and Meet the Press and The O’Reilly Factor, but then one thought to oneself: I can do that tomorrow.
Because, man, what a FUCKING GORGEOUS day.
I'll tell you what's FUKIN (sic) GORGEOUS...an enormous penls!!!
*FUKING (sic)
Yep, this is one of those days that reminds people why they moved to this part of the country, and reminds those of us who were born here why we stayed.
Oh gods, yes! It's only now that I'm home that I realize that I walked rather a lot. Funny how that works going from Queen Anne to Wallingford with a stop in Fremont on the way.
Gorgeous day, lots of people watching, but my legs are letting me know...
I'm almost looking forward to work tomorrow. Almost.
filed under " City/Life/Music/Politics"? doooood, are you high? you forgot "Organic/Pothead" tags.
those dutch bikes are FUCKING GORGEOUS, but also super-expensive and maybe impractical for hills. yet, I want one NOW.
Of course it was this weekend when I had to go out of town.
Mr. Frizzelle, would you possibly consider providing some useful links to the tragic fatal car crash that you came across on Westlake Ave. The peaked curiosity and all... surely you understand. Thanks.
It was nice in The Lou too. high 60s, perfect for playing soccer, which i did for two and a half hours...
I'm a vampire, you insensitive clod!
But Christopher has never posted anything insightful about the current political landscape... We are to believe that if it was cloudy out then Sunday would have been the day it would have happened??
Hopefully we get weather like this for the ZooTunes shows this summer... Here's the show schedule:

I noticed that you didn't include "walking my bike back up the hill" as one of the highlights.
@13, HE WALKED HIS BIKE UP THE HILL!!!!!???!!!! HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!! What a wimp!!!!!!!
no, he put it on a bus.
@8 -- Glad someone else posted that. I'd hate to ruin Frizzelle's day with the details of that one.
the giant penis thing never gets old. He's like 6'4" I guess so....
