roadrunnertwiceI think the ideal state of existence is to be constantly in the process of leaving Olympia. Because Olympia is nearly the best place on earth, but unless you're actively wrapping up a stay there, there's always one thing or another that will keep you from realizing that.
Anyway, so today was one of the Four Perfect Days, and after dealing with something online that had been bothering me (and which is now no longer my problem, hurray!), I spent it tooling around on my bike. Tooling around where, you ask? Why, the Eastside, where we used to live until I was partway through my third year of life. I had dropped a paycheck at the bank in Lacey, and decided to head west and poke around.
So yeah, I saw the water tower, and Lions Park, and got all misty and nostalgic. And then I found some weird stuff. You guys ever heard of Madison Scenic Park? It's basically just this place on the hillside, just south of where the hill down into Olympia is at its steepest (which is 7th, BTW), where they put some benches and a little stage. I'd seriously never seen the place in my life, and had no idea it was there.
THEN, while I was sitting on a bench and contemplating my place in the cosmos, I looked down and saw this weird, abandoned-looking playground. Or it looked like a playground. It was actually this weird, abandoned elementary school. And one of the doors was unlocked and I took a quick look around. Hella creepy, I'm gonna go back and get pictures one of these days.
