i got up at 6:00 so that moe could jump start ganesha the car so i could drop it off in burien at 9:00 (which meant a couple of hours of “hanging around” waiting for jack to get there). then i took the bus into downtown seattle and “hung around” until my appointment with ned at 2:00, during which jack called and said that ganesha the car was working again, so i finished up with ned and took the bus back down to burien, picked up the car at around 3:45, and jack only charged me $45, which i actually had!
after 4 hours of “hanging around” in seattle, i realised that i really miss living in the city. living out in the sticks is okay, but it would be a lot better if i had a workshop and/or some way to bring in money. but the lack of a job and/or a workshop wouldn’t matter so much if we were living in the city, because there’s so much to look at, even if i don’t have anything else to do.
Aha! You went one block too far northish… The fire station is at 4th and Battery and we’re one block closer to downtown.
Dunno why I wasn’t answering the phone. Maybe it was during a nap attack.
Next time ’round!

oddly enough, that thought had occurred to me, but you weren’t answering, and when i got to where i thought you said it was going to be (4th and bell?) there was a fire station there instead of your apartment, and by that time i needed to start getting back to my appointment, so i couldn’t look more closely… but i’ll keep that in mind and call you the next time i’ve got some time to “hang around”… 😉
Glad to hear that Ganesha is feeling better and the financial damages weren’t too extreme.
Next time you’re just “hanging around” in downtown give me a jingle. I’m often doing the same.
