Miss Piggy Lunchbox

I think The Boy is gay.  What else could explain him voguing at such a young age.

The neighbors have had some trouble with break-ins lately, so they put up this gate.  It hasn’t helped much.

He’s like a comic book private eye with his cigarette jauntily hanging out of his mouth.

Recently there was a celebration down the street to commemorate 100 years since the park was dedicated, kind of an informal beginning for our neighborhood.  There were lots of old pictures.  Here’s one that ostensibly shows where the cable car used to run over the hill from downtown to the weekend retreat that is now our neighborhood.  But all I see is a lot of never-snow.

This is one of my favorite sights in Seattle.  What a menu.

How are you not tempted to run in and have Extra Pork?
