Does Anyone Know What Happened To Me?
Did I ever come back from Columbus? I’m looking for me because the bastard owes me money, and he’s hiding.
I found a bit of evidence on the memory chip of his camera - he apparently went kayaking last Saturday:

A barnacle-encrusted necklace adorned this prosaic fishing boat.

Lake Union is festooned with “floating homes”, which have become increasingly elaborate. These two present a stark contrast - on the left, a full-on suburban experience, while on the right, and just a few paddle-strokes away, is a hippie-pad melange festooned with parasitic willow and situational art.
A commercial float-plane airline, Kenmore Air, makes its home in Lake Union, ferrying people to the San Juan Islands and other water-related destinations. I fastidiously maintain my distance from this departing aircraft, nd enjoy getting sprayed by its propwash.
After circumnavigating Lake Union, I paddled west through the ship canal. As I returned, I took this pic of the Fremont and Aurora bridges forming a tunnel to paddle through.
There was a fair breeze that day, and this sailboat seemed particularly picturesque as it glided in front of the skyscraper backdrop.
OK, I’m back in town after a couple weeks of traveling. Watch this space.
Looks like a lot of cranes and building going on downtown there. Shitty economy not affecting Seattle office space?
That floating abomination with the columns? No words…
I didn’t realize there were still any of the hippie floating homes left! But that first one, yikes! Looks like a mirage, kinda bubbly looking in the moonlight. If I didnt know better, I’d say it looks like the Aragon Ballroom.
Phil, I’ve been wondering if your favorite wife decided your comments on past blogs were too problematic to overlook and, so, had you transformed into a tasty kayaker jerky. Sorry to see the Capitalists stealing all your serenity with their massive building projects. Time to consider a relocation to a less crowded port.
So that’s where you’ve been. I wondered what had become of you. Sure does look sunny there, and a great day for a kayaking adventure. Glad to see you back.
