Sunset from the Bridge

Caught a sunset from Aurora Avenue Bridge on the 4th of July. I did not have my camera so after work on Tuesday, I walked over to catch a sunset again. The walk was good. The shaken beer poured into a water bottle, not so much. But at least I had a beer on the bridge. The music on my MP3 player has been listened to and now it is time to put some new music on my player.

I guess I got there a little late for the whole sunset.

Short video of the sunset

One thing I have learned/remembered from the past two days of sunsets, sunsets are better when sharing with someone.

Summit Public House opened early this morning for the Seahawks playoff game.
Seattle Seahawks at Chicago Bears
Been sitting at the Summit Public House since a little before 10 am watching the Seahawks losing to the Chicago Bears. The game has been fun to watch but very disappointing at times. A lot of dropped passes by the Seahawks.
Drank a Screwdriver, ate a breakfast burrito, then a Bloody Mary. Water after each drink. Been working on a Guinness since the start of the second quarter. I started fast and early, now time to take it slow. Halftime show is giving me time to write.
I want to go over to Top Pot and see if the line is small enough for me to get a donut. A donut sounds good after the burrito and the drinks.
The end of the game was exciting. The Seahawks started to make a comeback. A little too late to win the game though.
New York Jets at New England Patriots
Less people in the bar but so much noisier. Still early in the game so the excitement is still here for the game. Crowd is starting to filter back into the bar. The Jets are up 14-3 at 7:35 left in the third quarter. Jets are making Brady and the Patriots look not so good. Up until the last 2 minutes of the third quarter. What are the Jets doing?
14-11 at the end of the 3rd.
21-11 with the Patriots making some strong moves down the field. Jets got the ball back.
Game has been good until the 3:42 mark. But Patriots got it back and moving down the field.
I have been in the bar since 10:00. Time now 16:24. Heavy drinking to start the day. Since the second quarter of the first game, I have only had 3 drinks though. I have been taking my time with the beers. I have made sure I have been drinking water all day too.
2 minute warning and the Patriots get within 7. 21-14
Onside kick went in the Jets favor. Great end of game. Jets win 28-21.
I need to get downtown. I want to pick up my holds at the library before Tuesday. If I get down there before 18:00, I can watch some new movie tonight.
Made it down to the Library. Now to go back to the hill. Do I go to the bar since it is so early or go home and watch some movies. I should probably do some cleaning since my brother is coming to town tomorrow.

I went for a walk today. Found a path through some woods that started at St. Marks. I know I took a picture of the sign at the top of the path but I can not find the picture.

The path had some nice switchbacks but the footing was fun. And by fun I mean muddy, leafy, and slippery. All the water from the hill was running into this stream.

One of the two bridges I encountered on this trail. One of the many logs across the path down the hill.

All the way at the top of the hill is St. Marks Cathedral.

This was a plant along the sidewalk near the University Village Shopping Center. I walked out there to get a Jamba Juice. And killed 45 minutes at Office Depot playing Angry Birds on a device similar to an iPad.

Then I went and caught a bus back to Capitol Hill. I went grocery shopping then went to the bar for dinner and a beer.

Today was a long day. With a lot of walking. Started at a the Promunism Party.  If I remember correctly, Eric at Sun Liquor served me a Screwdriver before I went home. 
I woke up early to go do a 5k race with Polar Bear Plunge. The Plunge was so exhilarating. I am tempted to go jump in by myself later this week.
Wore my business suit to the party and my Santa Suit to the 5k. A long day of suits.
There was a lot of ice out at Magnuson Park for the 5k.
Boat launch area where people will be running into the water soon.The Bunnies with SantaDrinking at the Beer Tent. I met some nice people. Names escape me. I hope to see these nice people again at the next 5k.
