Join the Seahorses in the Bike Room. Ironically, some kids want the markers to draw pictures. We ask them, "Don't you want to go outside?" Reply: "No." Lunchtime with the Sea Otters. I love how they eat picnic style out of their lunchboxes. Hi, Seahorses. They're going down for naps. Lots of them fall asleep without help. Mister No Nap says, "No nap." I can see the bright sunshine from the Dolphin window. I want to go out to the sun. Smell the fresh air. Since my back aches, I take the streetcar d'town. Down to City Target to pick up a few things. I love that they have Lean Cuisine Traditional Deluxe Pizza - $2.39 each. Up Union Street to my place. Watch KOMO News. Mary interviews a couple of the cast of Boeing, Boeing. Sounds like fun.

I make a disgusted face when I find sunscreen under my fingernails, and one of the Starfish noticed. "Long, stinky fingernails," he comments. Do the kids think that I'm Abiyoyo? He had long fingernails, 'cause he never cut 'em.
Thanks! You made my day, kids! (No. Really. You made my day.) Then one of the kids politely suggests to me, "We should have a water break outside." Of course, I need to go fetch the water bottles because I forgot. Some emotions about heading inside. We settle down for lunch. Over to Seahorses. Everyone sleeps. Just one Mister No Nap. Streetcar to Denny. I walk the rest of the way home. Change clothes. I try to walk to Cal Anderson Park, but I sense some "energy" developing. May Day events converge and traffic is getting bad. On this day just a year ago, I remember the violence and mayhem unleashed in the streets of downtown Seattle. It's peaceful... so far.
I love seeing the Free Cascadia flag. Back to my place. I need the rest anyway. Chili spaghetti for dinner. I'm too tired to keep up with the news. But a peaceful demonstration descends into violence... and I'm sleeping through it.
