My phone calls about the crack smoking people from yesterday are getting a bit of buzz in my neighborhood, apparently. Hopefully they will help make a difference and get more police presence on my block. I love my apartment and where I live and do not want to be forced to move to Queen Anne or Cap Hill just to escape the bums and feel safe in my own neighborhood...

Last night, after work, I picked up Dan and we went to Whole Foods on Westlake. I like how that Whole Foods is merchandised, it is very new and very clean. We purchased a bunch of food and went back to Dan's apartment and I cooked dinner. Then we watched Forrest Gump, which I have never seen... I know, who has not seen Forrest Gump? It was late and I slept there last night and then woke up, drove home and now taking a quick break from work to write this.

It is pretty sunny out today, but with clouds. I love the clouds over the bay because they are always bright and puffy. I think I might go to a free Wi-Fi place today and finish some work...

And a side note, I often watch the local news on KING 5... and they had two Michigan stories (both involving fires, ironically), including the story of a fire at a senior citizen complex in WB, I am assuming the JCC senior apartments based on where it was located... Even though generally only bad news travels fast - and far - it is still semi comforting to see a story from my local area... and makes me that maybe "home" is not really that far away...
