So an interesting evening here under the Viaduct.. I have been sick with the crud the last few day you know the kind that starts as a little tickle in your throat then progresses to sneezing then a nose that turns into a faucet and finally culminates as a 30 pound weight of crud in your chest?? Ya that one.. So I have been sleeping a lot in my trailer to try to get over this little unwanted visitor.. Last night I went to bed while it was still light out and was just drifting off when I heard a really weird noise.. I looked out my little tinted window above my head and saw the the reason for all the commotion.. A guy was pushing a woman in a shopping cart across the parking lot and it was one of those really noisy shopping carts with the squeeky wheel etc. The gal was hollering and going on about who knows what. As they got closer I noticed that these were a couple of street folk and looked a bit like they had been partaking in some form of altering substances. The woman has a really loud gravely voice and is yelling" WTF!! why are there goats there" The guy is explaining that they are here to eat the brush and she is like "What kind of weirdo would do that!!" To which I quietly laughed out loud to myself behind my little trailer window.. She appeared to have a broken foot which is why he was pushing her in a shopping cart, I guess? The guy was being really helpful to her and quite sweet despite her gravely demeanor which was becoming more and more demanding. I soon found out why when the needles and tourniquets came out along with the little bag of party favors.. So as she is shooting him up and getting ready to shoot herself up she yells out whoever brought those f$#@%g goats is breaking the law!! That should be a crime!!! Ironic.. Then early this morning like really early, I was awoke from my Nyquil induced coma by another weird sound.. Music! not just music but LIVE music like right over my head. Now keep in mind that over my head is a freeway! So imagine my snot headed surprise when live music was coming from the freeway, did I mention right over my head! I rolled out of my cozy bed to go investigate what new thing Seattle had though up to do bright and early on a Saturday morning.. I walked over to where I could see up on the bridge and yup, sure enough there were dudes singing up there... OOOKAY! Went up to Tullys to get a cup of coffee and found out that the Seattle Rock &Roll Marathon was going on.. They do a running marathon and have bands like every mile or so to cheer on the runners.. ONLY in Seattle..
