It's Clemen-time :)

So it's been busy at work the past few weeks but I wanted to note that Clementine season is upon us! I already ate a small bag last week and "mistakenly" picked up a huge bag yesterday at the grocery store.









It will take me at least 3 days to eat through all of these... maybe 2. I also love eating these because they are much easier to transport in my bag than bananas. They may roll around a little but unlike bananas they don't bruise, get mushy and potentially explode all over your things. Even if exploding was a possibility, I can still bag them unlike my bananas. Aside from the more pragmatic aspects of the clementine, I just really love the taste! Little miniature oranges, sweet and tangy. Great for dropping in your pockets as a quick snack when you go out for a brisk afternoon walk!

I also forgot to post this amazing mushroom picture from about a month back. It was just growing outside work on the grass by the side of the street where cars park all day long. I only discovered it because we saw some folks pointing and taking pictures of something on the ground on day. We couldn't see what it was since it was behind a parked car so I ventured down for a look and was richly rewarded!

Check out that Mario-style mushroom! aka Amanita muscaria

Unfortunately, it was gone a couple days later. We suspect that it was perhaps taken for it's possible hallucinogenic effects. I would rather not try since the list of other symptoms really sound unpleasant. Of course, I'm really not looking for a good hallucination either.

Speaking of getting melty, I have a great story for another day but I'll wait until I resolve some issues before posting pictures. I will, however, leave you with this little gem I found parked on the street. Kinda... surreal. Those windows have been open for a couple of days now... and it's been raining. Hope their stuff is okay...

Stay classy Seattle!
