Cheese? Yes Please!
The chunks of parmesan resting on the edge of this HUGE block of cheese are the size of normal pieces you'd buy at the grocery store. That gives you an idea how unbelievably enormous this block of Parmesan is. Personally, I wanted to dive right in. But there's those silly rules surrounding sanitation, especially when food is involved as well as other people partaking in the delicious fromagerie besides myself. Tastings were being handed out at a Cheese Festival at Pike Place Market last weekend.
Regal Beagle
Here Beagle is saying, "I'm waiting in this truck for my owners. They're in Booster Juice. I hope they bring me a smoothie too." Beagle is going to be disappointed though. Booster Juice doesn't have a liver-flavoured smoothie on their menu.
Deflating the Fun
Inflatable structures like the yellow one above that are brought to life by an air compressor and flop around in the breeze seem to be the fad these days among local businesses as a way of getting the attention of passersby. It worked for this martial arts place, but got our attention not in the way I'm sure the business owner intended; we stopped to take pictures of mimicry. As we left the scene somebody came out from the building with purpose and pulled the plug on the inflatable man, who promptly became the deflatable man:
Belly Up to the Bar
One has to be mindful of the establishment they're in before they order a beverage like the one listed on the bottom of this specials board. I can only imagine the different versions that could be delivered to the table.
The Seattle Space Needle and Its Neighbours
A day trip to Seattle was in order this past weekend. There's a number of border crossing posts to choose from in order to get from the Vancouver area to Seattle, and it's like choosing a line at the grocery store - why does it always feel like you choose the slowest one? Our first crossing choice was unwise as we were met by an hour-long wait, so we trekked over to see the wait time at another crossing, which ended up being more bearable. We Canadians like to visit the US. Especially when our dollar is good.
Blush
The pink hue from a sunset lit up the receding snow atop these mountains. Reminds me of a cupcake topped with Betty Crocker pink frosting, albeit a meagre amount of icing sugary goodness in this case.
Chop Chop
Something looks funny about this helicopter.... akin to forgetting to put your pants on before going out in public. The frame structure makes it look somewhat undressed.
Snuff and Stuff
What the heck is happening here?
On this car dash there's 4 tins of chewing tobacco (Long Cut Straight only), a lighter, a bunch of nails and..... a yellow package for a "Self Heating Foot Warmer". This vehicle must belong to MacGyver's nicotine-addicted brother:
Upstairs, Downstairs
Living in an apartment block comes with many hazards. It is also often an interesting place to live when you're a bit nosy like I am. I was passing by this doorway and was immediately intrigued by a handwritten post-it note stuck on the front door so I had to investigate. The addition of the sad and happy smiley faces is a nice touch.
On The Right Side of the Fence
I've been watching a bit of the Prison Break television series lately - Season 1. Chain link fencing reminds me of it. So does chopped off toes, but I won't be taking any pictures of that.
