Trees? Or fog?

At first I thought fog was rolling in on either side of this quad on the University of Washington campus in Seattle, but they’re actually trees. I dub this the Stock Photo of the Day.

Seattle, in Haiku Form

Here’s some verse from my vacation:

Sunset, Seattle.
Dusk breaks through the rain showers.
Look! It’s a seaplane!

Who’s grilling burgers?
The Evil Michelin Man?
No, it’s only Mike.

In the Pig Parade,
Some swine have their chance to shine
In their Sunday best.

Awful pigskin puns
Nevertheless make me smile
With such craftsmanship.

Shelter from the rain.
I think I’ll stay and relax…
Holy shit! A troll!

A phallic symbol
Points to a proud tomorrow
For this great city.

Please stop and admire
My swirly cappuccino
Before I drink it.

The Great Austin Ice Storm of 2007

The weather outside is frightful…

I will write about it so I don’t lose my freaking mind.

Seriously, how does this happen? This is Austin, Texas…we’re about on the same latitude as the place in Tunisia where they filmed Star Wars! I have never missed summer so much before.
