Public Market in Seattle

Pike's Place Fish Market
http://www.pikeplacefish.com/
Really fun watching the fish mongers toss fish around.






Fruit & Vegetable Stand
A vendor wearing a white Longhorn hat hooked us up with a few more Ranier Cherries b/c my sister and I are Longhorns. Awsome cherries. DELICIOUS!






Dungeness Crab
BEFORE....













And AFTER...

Still Life's in Canada

Fruit Stand in Victoria's Chinatown.

We ate at a chinese restaurant around the corner from the fruits. It was so disappointing. We basically had the same dish with squid, shrimp, and scallops but one had rice, another had flat noodles, and the third was with soup and thin noodles.



Blueberry's at a Farmer's Market in Duncan BC











Locally grown squash

Vancouver Island

The world's largest hockey puck & stick. To be in the presence of greatness.





























While we were there, we at at McDonald's 3 times...they use real eggs in their Egg McMuffuns. I mean REAL fresh eggs. Ones they crack themselves. Delicious. And to offer vinegar. Filipino's everywhere appreciate this.

















Walmart's "Canadian" section in the town of Duncan, the city of Totems.



The signs weren't too clear on the Island. So we missed our target. Ended up asking for directions.

It's 7107


10. So you say you want to go the Republic of the Philippines. Your work has just started because now you have to choose which island you want to visit. How many islands make up what we call The Philippines?

I hate the dentist

Had a root canal this afternoon.  My second one this year.  And it's significantly worse experience than the first.  If the 800mg of Advil doesn't work, I'm hitting the Vicodin.  Holy shit my mouth hurts.

The store "So Cute..." on Broadway...the one that announced it's closing a few months after opening is so gone.  Just one look through the racks, you can so tell it wasn't going to last.  They have stuff you can find on Canal St in NYC for 3 times the price.  Get real people.  Acid wash jeans isn't worth $60...for that quality...even in the 80's.

The pain is making me bitch.  I should stop and watch King of the Hill.

Oh, Canada?


Sorry for the blurry hot dog pic.  I'm gone for a few days and Kraft rotates their pictures. 

Went to Canada where people say "Soory" and spend their Loonies and Toonies on salmon pate, EH!!!!
Got to see totem pole mania and the world's largest hockey stick and hockey pock!  LUCKY AMERICANS we are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Boat ride from Vancouver Island to Seattle sucked.  Still angry inside about it.  Will post pictures soon.  I'm working this weekend.  Hooray Beer.

lazy dogs



How lazy are you when you buy Oscar Meyer Fast Franks?  Hot dogs already in the bun sold in your grocer's freezer.  What the hell.
