took a walk up Burnside. this is so bizarre. it's like being in a rural town like where i grew up but with all this great expensive infrastructure too, really odd

normally even on a sunday afternoon this road would be SLAMMED i wouldn't normally even consider walking along it because it's so unpleasant and dangerous

this is 136th and BURNSIDE. that burnside

i've seen like four people and i've been walking for over two miles past some of the busiest streets in the whole city

burnside street smells like flowers and people's laundry softener right now. it smells NICE. i just waved at the MAX that glided by in silence. a little boy is playing with a remote control car in a backyard and it's louder than the actual traffic

O R B

community garden #3: there was an attempt (several years ago)

north powellhurst park rangers at one point evidently engaged in an all out war of attrition with a gang of ATV people and dirt bikers

garden #4, markedly more organized than #3 but rather notably lacking in plant life

as i leaned examining this hedgerow with my back to the street a teen girl in a moving vehicle shrieked directly behind me in jest. i nearly had a heart attack lol. love to be bullied for being a nerd at 32
