Everyone sees something different

Posted on February 2, 2015 by cyetso

What do you see?

What I see is a light at the end of the long path I’ve taken this week to get to my hard earned weekend.
Now I know you’re thinking, ‘Wait, it’s Monday knucklehead, what’re you talking about weekend?’
To which I say, ‘It’s use it or lose it time at the ol’ gristmill. I think I’ll go ahead and use it.’ Which means my first week of work in February consisted of exactly ONE day. Awesome, huh?
Now, what to do with the next 7 days……? I vow to be completely nonproductive. We’ll see how it goes. I’ll keep you posted.

Fish tales

Posted on January 28, 2015 by cyetso

“No, really Dave, it was THIS BIG! And just when I got him up to the boat, the hook popped outta his mouth and he got away.” –

“Sure it did, Ralph, sure it did.”

Waste

Posted on January 26, 2015 by cyetso

How does your municipality waste your money? Mine did it with this –

Whispering Willow Park. Well, 90% of it anyway, there’s a couple more benches just out of the frame. And yeah, that’s it. Tucked between two houses, and behind the supermarket. And all I can do is ask myself – ‘What did that cost?’

Don’t get me wrong, I like parks and all. This is not a park. This is a walkway. You can’t throw a ball around in this park. You can’t play with your dog in this park. You have one option, walk to a bench and have a sit. This is not the first park in this town of less than 100 square feet of usable space.

What a waste. In so many ways. I hope the mayor gets a nice plaque engraved with her name on it for all the future generations to see.

Rant over, back to what you were doing.

There it is again

Posted on January 23, 2015 by cyetso

That perfect Seattle winter type of day –

Nice in that it clears out all the fair-weather types and I get the whole place to myself.
I know, kinda selfish.
Kinda peaceful too.
Totally calm.
All good.

What to do?

Posted on January 22, 2015 by cyetso

When you’re off work and bored? Well, this never gets old –

Thanks Boeing. It’s not like I was going golfing in a 50 degree drizzle….

They’re everywhere

Posted on January 20, 2015 by cyetso

Sometimes you go get a cup of coffee, and there’s one just hanging out on top of the power pole with the cell repeaters –

Looking all the world like he absolutely OWNS the place. I’m not gonna argue with him either.
And if your 4G/LTE/whatever connection went out, it’s probably cause he pooped.
Just sayin.

More reflections

Posted on January 13, 2015 by cyetso

Ducks are funny. This one steamed right over in search of a free meal –

Only to turn around and head right back to where he came from once he found out I had no free dinner for him.
Come to think of it, I’ve met a few women like that.
It’s probably me. Right?
Gotta be. Right??

Reflecting

Posted on January 12, 2015 by cyetso

Or rather reflection –

Photo is actually upside down, and since it’s a reflection off the water, technically backwards as well. But I thought it cool how the waves in the water manipulated the contrails of the jet and the limbs of the trees.

And that’s that. Carry on.

It ain’t LA

Posted on January 8, 2015 by cyetso

But a nice day for walking around Hollywood –

They’re still rocking the holiday lights –

in the spirit of the season

This one made me think of my sister, HIYA Sis! –

Wind power

All in the bustling burg of Woodinville, wine enthusiasts heaven. Blink and you’ll miss it.
