Okay, I’ve been helping Catherine out in Seattle for nearly a week now and am heading back to Kansas today. Man, is that town busy. Driving to the airport at 5 am this morning, the traffic was already heavy. I think that she got the lay of the land down pretty much. Today is her first day at work, so her day is going to be much shorter now. We went back out to Bainbridge Island and checked out a few houses again. That is a pretty okay place to ride and the ferry drops her off a short walk from her work. She has a couple months of corporate housing, so she has some time to try to figure out where she ultimately wants to end up.
I have a bunch of organizing to do at home. Plus, a ton of bike work, so I’m not going to have any problem keeping busy. Trudi was up in Chicago visiting her mom this past weekend, so she just got home last night. I hate having her drive back to pick me up at the airport in Kansas City after driving so long, but she dropped us off on the way, so there isn’t a car there for me to drive home.
Okay, the flight is boarding, so I have to get going. Here are some photos from the past few days.
The Space Needle is Seattle’s signature attraction.
I meet up with a couple old friends, Wick and Gavin O’Grady a couple nights ago. These guys are just the same. It was great catching up some.
This guy was doing pretty well down by the ferry landing.
I saw this guy walk by me on the ferry. I wasn’t sure what the deal was.
He sat down and the cat climbed off his shoulder and curled up in his lap.
The apples out on Bainbridge are to die for.
Catherine picked up her new company car yesterday. It’s an AWD Toyota Sienna. When she told the human resources person at her new job that is what she wanted, they thought it was a joke. It is a very nice car.
Plenty of room for my bike this morning.
