zaterdag 25 april 2009

zaterdag 25 april 2009 Up at 5:05. Listen a little to BBC News. 6:00 - Turn on Mind Over Matters on KEXP. Alternative Radio has a speech by David Korten made in Kirkland, WA on March 7 this year. He talks about our current economic meltdown could be seized as an opportunity to fundamentally alter our economy rather than restoring the unsustainable status quo ante with a few cosmetic changes. We can choose. Money or Life? He's so good! Toast and egg for breakfast. Walk up to Whole Foods to get some ground coffee. I love their Allegro coffee. I get to talk to Dan. I was wondering about the crazy outfit he was wearing yesterday. "It's for Freaky Friday," he says. Stop by Motore for a cup. The strapping-tall-handsome-Nordic guy is there. He's cute. Drop off stuff. Walk over to 4th and University to get #545 to Redmond. Nice fast ride. Redmond is not a very walkable city. It is dominated by motor vehicles. That makes me sad. I do like the City Hall.

But most of it is a bunch of commercial-corporate-crappiness.

On the way back, the 545 takes a detour from the maintenance on 520. The bus drops me off at 6th and Union. Walk up to Cal Anderson Park. Things feel more real to me walking up Pike and down Pine. Life on the street can be fine. Oh! A poster! Rev Theory is coming on May Day!

Look at the stud in the black wife beater! Ouch!
