Well, I've been getting my first taste of the Seattle rain.
Got soaked at Bumbershoot and was very disappointed because Ani didn't
perform- doctor's orders I guess after checking out the Righteous Babe
site. Everything is swell though. Work has been alright, I'm
getting to know the kids a lot more- all three of them are very
special. I like it, so far it hasn't been too stressful and I like that
I get paid well.
I've started to look into getting a car
and should be getting one within the month. This is exciting but kinda
scary at the same time- I have really enjoyed life without one more
than I ever expected to. I've enjoyed walking all over the place and
learning the bus system and I don't miss paying for gas and repairs and
sitting in traffic and being on the road with bad drivers. I'm in
better shape now sicne I haven't had a car. It's been very good to me
and the more I think about it the more I think how sad it is that our
society is so reliant on cars- not to sound like a hippie or anything-
but they seem to make people angrier. Around here it seems like there's
at least one fatal accident every day- going home from work last night
we passed one and I couldn't help but think that a lot of the children
I've worked with had been just like anyone else until a car accident.
People don't realize what a risk it can be getting behind the wheel.
Anyhow, I'm starting to look for one but I hope to keep up with my
walking and bus riding for things other than work once I have one. The
bus is cheaper these days when compared to how much you pay in
gas.
NIN coming up! I can't wait! Keep in touch peoples.
