Couple of amusing sights and of course I don't have my camera with me.  Last night coming home from work about 11:30pm I finally had my first Discovery Park Coyote sighting.  He wasn't in the park though, about a mile and a half away actually.  Saw him crossing the bridge at W. Emerson and Gilman from Magnolia into Interbay.  He must have come down the railroad tracks but he was pretty bold jogging down the street through a  mini mart/gas station parking lot, a bank parking lot and finally after taling him awhile I lost him somewhere in Fisherman's Terminal.   He could have jumped in the bushes and hit but he just kept trottering along.  Bolder than I thought he'd be.

 

The other unusual sight was watching a motorcycle cop pull over a little old lady who had to be in her 80's for speeding in Ballard.  They have a regular speed trap on 15th just before market.  They wait on a side street just before Schuck's and sometimes they're three motorcycles deep.  Usually they're earlier in the day and of course the bikes are never there in inclement weather.  They sit there and nail the people coming across the Ballard Bridge.  By the time you spot them they've already nailed you.  Fortunately one was crossing the bridge going south as I was going north so I knew there'd be others and slowed down.  I watched the cop pull the little grannie over and walk up to her window and show her the actual readout on the radar gun.  Of course she stopped in the right turn lane and everyone had to stop and look at the scene so it created a mini traffic jam. 

Happy New Year to all my friends in China!  Hope the year of the rat is a great one for you.
