Excellent Advice for the Homeless

That day after we went to Butt Chart Gardens, we went to the 14 Carrot Café for huevos rancheros, a tradition now two years old, and then Lisa and David went off to attend to some pre-workweek tasks, while I went for a stroll.

I started by walking all the way downtown to visit my favorite building, Two Union Square, and then I generally toured downtown and visited the public library, which is in a very unique building and well worth seeing.

I obtained a small gift for David, whose birthday is coming up soon, and a card and a bunch of sunflowers from Pike’s Place Market, and then I walked to their place for a delicious dinner made by Lisa and the viewing of another DVD, plus this thing was said by David, calling to Lisa in another room: “Lisa, Linda scarfed down all our lemon drops,” which I thought was very funny (not to mention true).

They escorted me back to my hotel and in the morning I walked back to the bus stop, where I met a deranged man who was spectacularly good-looking except for his teeth. He had beautiful brown eyes and a nice mouth and buttery smooth tanned skin. (Unfortunately, I didn’t get a photo.) He told me every detail of his bank account, how much was added on what occasion and how much was later subtracted, and to the penny what he believed the balance to be. He said that if there was any trouble with his health benefits, he was going to refuse to stay in Seattle; so there.

If you want my opinion, I think he should get his teeth fixed, get some nice clothes, try not to talk too much about his bank account, find a rich girlfriend and live in luxury. He was utterly gorgeous.
