Gonna move this blog. After many months of trouble-free blogging from my iPhone via the WordPress app, the system seems to have been invaded by gremlins – and crashes constantly. So, I will attempt to continue over at: badwolfzanda.posterous.com

Cheerful lights 2
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged King County Water Taxi on December 11, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I have been riding the Water Taxi for seven years now – but not that regularly. It has mainly been a summertime operation, but this year funding was found to keep it running through the winter, albeit for weekday commuter schedule only. Lately, in the morning on the bus to work, I see the vessel [...]
Remodeling – yet again!
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged coffee shops, Starbucks on December 10, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Over the last couple of months I’ve made the Starbucks at Second and Seneca in downtown Seattle my most usual afterwork spot. It’s mainly the location. A bus that takes me all the way home stops literally outside! And the other West Seattle buses leave from First and Third Avenues – both just a very [...]
Cheerful lights
Posted in Uncategorized on December 8, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Tonight is a typical December Seattle evening. Steady rain with a wind that is picking up. And it’s been dark since 4:30pm. I allowed myself to come all the way home on the bus. People were evidently busy over the weekend hanging Christmas lights. I really enjoyed the bus ride home, listening to Lionel Barrymore [...]
Thrilling Tales

During the holiday season I am having to work Saturday, having Monday off in exchange. A friend of mine routinely is off on Monday, so we have been enjoying doing things together. Today we went to a lunchtime storytelling session for adults at the Central Branch of the Seattle Public Library. This takes place at [...]
Fresh-scented bus

I just took a bus to the grocery store. I take the bus from the very end of the route and when you arrive at the bus stop, you usually find the driver taking a well-earned break. The driver I rode with today is one I have been seeing for years. He is a self-confessed [...]
Lake Baikal revisited
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Google Earth therapy on December 5, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
That is one big lake! Contains more water than all five Great Lakes combined. And it’s taken several months for me to circumnavigate Lake Baikal in Google Earth, zooming in really close and enjoying Panoramio snapshots along the way. I think I’ll have to go around again:) It’s such a beautiful part of the world. [...]
Christmas classics
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Christmas, iTunes on December 3, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I found some rather enjoyable Christmas stuff to listen to on iTunes, such as a podcast called Christmas Old Time Classics – a collection of radio shows from the 1940s – Abbot and Costello, Red Skelton, Jack Benny, and the like. The humor is very basic – but wonderfully refreshing. The collection also includes Boris [...]
Holiday indulgences
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged winter treats on December 2, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Last week’s winter weather put me in the mood for holiday treats, so as I had Monday off, I suggested to a friend that we go in search of edible indulgence. We ended up at Top Pot Donuts in downtown Seattle – my first visit. I’ve had the donuts before. They are the best. I [...]
