I went to a Mariners game today. That in itself is not unusual. What was unusual is that I went by myself. I sat in our seats, but none of the normal seatmates were in attendance.
I managed to get myself there because 1) it was a day game, 2) the sun was out (it was still cold), 3) using light rail meant no parking, 4) it was only my 2nd game of the year.
And they won! Got to see the starting pitcher’s (Brash – what an excellent name for a professional athlete) first win.
On the walk home from the light rail station I spotted fire trucks on the block before ours. A ladder truck to boot, with the ladder up in the air. There was no smoke in evidence, but there was the requisite group of neighbors gathered together. They all clapped when the ladder finished its descent. I wondered if they still rescued cats out of trees?! Continuing on to our block I crossed paths with a neighbor and her daughter and asked if she knew what was happening. She said that one of the houses was sponsoring an Easter party and invited the Fire department, and they came! What a fun time.
I’ll take today’s fire truck over the homeless man in the intersection any time.

I’m hearing good things about the Ms these days. It felt warm here but not for sitting. I got sweaty mowing the lawn though. 🙂 How wonderful that the fire department came!
