Some of the sights on my walk home from work.

This is just one of the many empty bottles I saw lying around. But this was the most innocent, and it looked like it was actually ready to have its picture taken. "Bubble Up, Spokane!"

I thought the only meaning for the word "Fob" had to do with keyless entry. Apparently I had forgotten about the band Fall Out Boy. And someone in Browne's Addition is absolutely crazy about them.

This is what I have to put up with on these walks to my apartment. Sunshine, perfectly formed irises just hanging out by the sidewalk, and the overwhelmingly sweet smells of lilacs. I imagine when I am old, these are the kinds of details about my young life I will describe and exaggerate to the grandkids, but really, it's for real.
