++ I WAS DRIVING around last night down in ballard along the beaches and i saw tons of cars and tons (and by tons i don't mean their total weight .. or the literal number of ton) of people walking toward the beach. i kept driving and found where they were going. they were going to the beach where the campfires were to 'hang out'. apparantly seattle has some ancient law where everyone is allowed to burn campfires on the beaches. .. .. which is cool (because fire is always cool, right?) but not very eco-freindly (or safe? but then again it is fire on top of sand .. right next to a huge body of water ..) i thought it was cool. it was a lot cooler last night when i saw it. and it sounds pretty lame now that i am writing about it. oh well. volleyball tonight. ++
