I have not been home for three weeks and was looking forward to being home.

Cyber Attack Berlin

The Berlin airport was hit by a cyber attack and it rippled throughout our existence. It caused me to miss a flight as well of days with out my luggage. It still has not been located . The delay also coerced me to go straight to Seattle instead of back to Portland.

Escape from Seattle

We had a fantastic weekend in Seattle this weekend, however by Sunday afternoon I was ready to be home. Within the run of play, I5 was closed just outside Seattle.

Google Maps Are for Sheep

I’m not picking on sheep here, however, when Google Maps goes wrong, the sheep follow anyways. We followed Google, and it had us weaving through little Puget Sound towns, and suburbs off the beaten path. We snaked our way, along with thousands of others. Despite what you’re reading in the media, everybody got along. It was that bad and hyperbolically slow. There were energetic kids selling drinks and Doritos on the side of the road. There was a kid delivering treats by what I believe to be a mini Bike. It was a surreal scene. It had an apocalyptic feel to it. To make it feel a little more realistic, There was a group with a sign that read

“We drink if you Beep your horn.

But I guess they were hammered soon after sunset.

Late Stage Capitalism

Dairy Queen Land

We had to stop for gas. I entered all my my credit card information, only to find the nozzles of the pumps, oddly gone.

There was a force happening, keeping me from getting back to Portland.

I fell asleep soon after, and my wife drove the rest of the way. I woke up as we were in our neighborhood . For some reason, our neighborhood looked like Germany.

I would love to hear you opinion as well

I’m Mark

His friends observe Mark seems wired a little differently. Perhaps it’s more likely that noticing little things often missed by others is a relic of a quieter, simpler time. He has a way with words, which he refuses to let be hindered by sub-par typing skills. People have great stories to tell if you sit and listen.

A belief dear to Mark is that there is certain beauty in the world. You simply have to look for it.
