Many years ago Scott and I spent a very hot fourth of July on Pig Safari, searching all over Seattle--on foot and via Metro--for the Pike Place Market Fundraiser pigs--at least, I think it was for Pike Place Market. Some months, or maybe a year and half later, they did the same sort of fundraiser with nutcrackers and we scoured the city for those, this time bundled up against the cold. Salty's in West Seattle seems to have collected nutcrackers and, in these sad Covid times, they have about a dozen lined up outside of the restaurant which we bike by fairly frequently en route to Alki.
Today's ride was in West Seattle since the Queen Anne snowy owl is on top of Queen Anne hill and that is one bit of elevation gain in Seattle that I just can't face. Damned hill. Pesky owl. But we got in 14.4 miles and had many fine views of Puget Sound and a mess of waterbirds today. But I choose to share the line-up of nutcrackers, perhaps for old times' sake.
