Do you see what I see? CF
View from within a coffeeshop. Do you see what I see?

I was at Analog Coffee on Thanksgiving morning (remember their "educational" video?) because the coffeeshop closer to my house was closed and I needed a blast of energy to get me through the weird, long, starchy, obligatory, food-filled day ahead. As I was waiting for my coffee, I thought I saw something out the window.

It almost looked like a shirtless man was standing in the cold smoking a bowl.

Sure enough, I was right.
We were pursuing our drug of choice for the morning, and he was pursuing his.

"Is that a man across the street wearing almost nothing and smoking a bowl?" I said to a friend.

"That is what that is," she said.

Even though he was not 25 feet from that building, he politely waited for people to pass before contributing to the cloud cover.

People and dogs and cars were passing.
Not just people but dogs, cars...

Not only was he shirtless, he was wearing shorts in November. And he was shoeless. He had just stepped out to get a little not-fresh air. He was just huffing and puffing away. I must have seen him take 10 hits. Inhaling, exhaling, inhaling, exhaling...

He was just standing there, surveying the city around him, half nude, inhaling, exhaling, inhaling, exhaling...
Above him, a spray of seasonally appropriate yellow leaves.

We all deal with the holidays in our own way. It was the most Seattle thing I've seen all week.
