nonionayYesterday I hung out with my Everett friends. Our hangout time typically consists of driving around looking for interesting things and playgrounds. Yesterday was no exception. C had heard rumors of "a nerd mall" in Arlington, so we figured we might as well go looking for it. After much driving back and forth around the boring town of Arlington, we found it (The Mirkwood Cafe). However, there was ABSOLUTELY NO PARKING, so we just acknowledged that we'd found it, and drove on. This driving took us right past a minor but extensive brush fire on the side of the road, which was being battled by some bored-looking firefighters.
There was also a bit of wandering around a wildlife reserve, where the wildlife consisted of pretty much nothing but grasshoppers and dragonflies. But they were some colorful grasshoppers and dragonflies: Chartreuse, blue and red, respectively.
Not the most amazing adventure I've had, but I got to explore some unfamiliar areas, and bond with friends. It was a sorta draining day, emotionally, since it was bookended with heavy discussions of the past in the evening, and me discovering my name on the same page as my favorite author in the morning. (see next post.)
