August 4, 2006 Seafair Friday

I went to my first Seafair today. It was very hot and the bus trip took forever. I walked a lot and got my head all burned. I had bad sight lines for the air show which is why I went. I could not get good photos of the planes as they flew overhead. I took one or two and missed the photos I should have been taking. It was too hot and I was carrying around too much weight in my backpacks. I had my laptop in one bag and a bunch of water bottles in the other bag. I did find a nice grassy knoll later in the day that I sat at for a while. That was fine. I even was able to get a wireless signal. I also figured out what Mount Baker bus route 14 means. There is a Mount Baker neighborhood in Seattle. Now that I know, I can ride the 14 down there on my days off. Being that there is a place to swim with lifeguards and it is free, I expect to go down there on my days off. One bus down there and one bus back home is a definete can do. I can put my bus pass to good use rather than just going to and from work.
