Tom suggested that, for my 500th entry, I “illustrate one of [my] favorite things-seen-and-overheard posts.” JR seconded the idea: One Thursday, a couple of months ago, I spent a good chunk of the day on an errand, waiting at ferry terminals and riding back and forth across Puget Sound. The entry I wrote about that day came out clearer-headed (and more syntactically correct) than most. These are more photos from that day.
