Yesterday, my daughter and I drove from Seattle to the Long Beach Peninsula. Without traffic, this takes a little over 3 hours. The trip took us more than 5 hours. We left Seattle at a bad time of day and there were extra cars on the road with the Seattle Public Schools starting and Labor Day weekend ending (Oh, plus there was a car on fire in the northbound lanes…). It took over 45 minutes to get from North Seattle to downtown Seattle, where the HOV lanes begin. Once we finally started moving, a State Patrol cruiser cut in front of me, requiring me to slam on my breaks, and remained in front of me for the next 35 miles or so.

Yoohoo! Seattle Bikers? Over here! It’s me, Mary. The one with the blonde kid who you insist on trying to run down on sidewalks all over the city. Oh, you don’t recognize me? Well it is hard to make out faces when you’re doing 50 miles per hour while also narrowly avoiding children, animals and the elderly who are bailing into shrubbery to escape your smoking tires…

I spotted this sign yesterday while I was sitting in traffic. No, I did not alter the photo. There is no additional information given as to what or who you might expect to find on the other end of the line if you choose to dial the number. What could it be? A very low-rent dating service?
