April 12 of 12

Here we go, here we go, here we go again ... It's the 12th again - time to play 12 of 12, Chad Darnell's fun invention. 12 pics of the 12th day of the month. And we're off ...

5:06 p.m. All my pics were taken after work, of course. I work in the building on the right (the half-obscured grey and beige building):

5:07 p.m. Not sure why, but I like this picture:

5:07 p.m. I know they're replacing all the windows in this apartment building, but I'm not sure why it's shrink-wrapped:

5:12 p.m. I've posted this same view on Capitol Hill before, but it always makes me laugh. This is an old movie theater that is now a drugstore. The sign was originally advertising the price of a gallon of milk ... but for the past few years it has read "Gal Milk". It's even more deteriorated now. Notice the Statue of Liberty guy on the corner selling tax preparation services:

5:16 p.m. Cal Anderson Park on Capitol Hill. Actually a pretty nice afternoon, even with a few clouds. Tons of people walking and hanging out in the park, and playing soccer and baseball:

5:36 p.m. Just got my hair cut next to Octo Sushi:

5:40 p.m. 11th Avenue, heading home:

5:40 p.m. How much is that skeleton in the window?

5:43 p.m. Toxin-free dry cleaner. How very Seattle:

5:44 p.m. I can't tell you how excited I am that Skillet Street Food is opening a diner near us:

5:46 p.m. I'll never get tired of the view when you get to the top of the hill at 18th Avenue and see the Cascade Mountains. We live in a cool city:

5:59 p.m.: One of the original rules of 12 of 12 is that you have to be in one of the pictures. I can't remember the last picture taken of me that I liked, but here ya go:

And that's it, kids. Happy 12, join next month, and watch your head as you exit the ride.
