If you ever wondered what a post-apocalyptic, twilight-zone, “everyone’s suddenly and inexplicably missing” Seattle looks like, walk on Alki in the middle of the night. All the lights are on, the sprinklers come on automatically, but there’s no one around. As if the whole city was suddenly abandoned.
Quite eerie. :D And just as beautiful.
(took me a while to realize that the halo above downtown is city lights reflected on the low clouds.)
Despite feeling drained and out of sorts, today I went out for a lunch with my long-time boss Mustin. (Sure glad I did!) He and the OneUps are in town for the PAX convention, and I finally got to meet the charismatic and generous gentleman that he is.
As a bonus, the clouds were crazy today! I feel the most awesome formations in the NW happen in late spring, but today was totally on par.
Then, while walking past the Washington Athletic Club I saw this beautiful plaque in the sidewalk:
My quick search didn’t yield anything about its history, although it seems like the correct spelling of the phrase would be “FVGIT IRREPARABILE TEMPVS.” I wouldn’t know, and the plaque is still awesome. It’s on 6th & Union if you wanna see. :)
