The Viewpoint affects people in different ways. In general, it has a way of heightening emotions. That may be why so many Seattle artists come here. Or go there.
Sometimes someone comes through, and it seems to me I've never seen the person before. I wonder how that can be. I do the same thing over and over again, but the other person does something for maybe the first time, and there's nothing I could easily have done to make that person do what they did--or not do it. It just happens.
It's hard for me to get used to the new bench. It pops out, instead of blending in with the environment. That will change, as it weathers. The weather is picking up.
