Oregon Capitol & smoke

On Armed Forces day (5/13/09), the 9 gun salute resulted in a lot of
smoke, just north of the Capitol BLD in Salem.

I took this picture from my desk on the upper floor of a state building.

Waiting for the ferry to come

On our way to Harstine island and a visit with friends, we are waiting
for the Bremerton Ferry.

Are they really closed?

This Seattle shop acts like it's customers just don't want to give up.
I especially like the cat update.

This was on 15th in the Capitol Hill area of town. We were in town
for the Leonard Cohen concert. It was very good; he is such a proven
performer and delights in highlighting the talents of his band,
singers and support staff. See it, if it comes near you!
