And I can vouch for Kaffa Coffee being good -- Doug and Megan took me through there when I was in town. I very rarely have the balls to openly take pictures of other people. I find children particularly fascinating, but people (rightfully and not unpredictably) get a little skitchy if you start taking candids of their kids in public. Let me know if you come up with any good techniques! Great pics, as usual. And I can vouch for Kaffa Coffee being good — Doug and Megan took me through there when I was in town.

Ouch. OK, I better explain. I really don't have anything against Kent, Renton, Tukwila, and that whole area. It's just one of the best examples of suburban sprawl I know of, because I grew up not far away (Normandy Park), and my first job was at Boeing facilities in Kent and Renton. So I have this memory of that area in the 70s, and ever since I moved back to Seattle a year ago I've been amazed -- and annoyed -- at how much that area has changed. When I worked at Valley Office Park in the north Kent Valley between the Spot Tavern and Renton, we were out in the country. Now it's non-stop development, everything from strip malls to light industry to God-knows-what. Another thing I miss in Renton is the Friday-night scene cruising the loop. It was so fun in the 70s, with all the muscle cars from all over Western Washington there, and the cops, and the cute girls we (I anyway) were too shy to ask out. It was like a scene from "American Grafitti," but now it seems those days are long past. So Kent and Renton are just symbols of a sad nostalgia for a past that can't be recaptured, and I have nothing against them personally. In fact, I have a friend in Renton whom I was hoping would see that comment and take the bait, but you beat him to it. :-) Happy New Year! Hi, Dennis … touche. Ouch. OK, I better explain.

Maybe you need to take the same eyes on walks there too?
