Day 89: Oregon, MAX and the Rain

March 11, 2010 by Mister Viddy

If it’s March and it’s Oregon it must mean, (gasp!) rain.  Don’t get me wrong, I love the rain and I love Oregon but this entire week has been hellish at work so when I ended up staying late tonight I was not entirely pleased to find myself standing in the rain getting soaked.  But it is what it is.  If nothing else, I have another photograph to add to my collection.  Fellow Oregonians, remember, summer is a mere 4 months away.  Maybe.

Night and MAX

Day 62: A Post A Day (Miss Saucy Brown)

February 12, 2010 by Mister Viddy

I’m standing there on the eastbound MAX on my way home this evening when she steps onto the train, loudly announcing that she ain’t having none of that.  That what?  I don’t know what that is but whatever it is she apparently is having nothing to do with it.  Miss Saucy Brown folks.  In all her BBW splendor.  I don’t even recall that anyone got onto the train with her, she simply announced to the world that she was having nothing to do with that.  Or this?  I don’t know.  Had I been a bit bolder I might have approached the saucy Miss Brown and asked her to clarify what that was and why it is she wants nothing to do with it.  But I admit it, I was frightened.  She was large and loud and I just went back to listening to my music and stared out the window until we reached my stop.  So here’s to you Miss Saucy Brown, may you continue to live your live free from that.

Day 22: Westbound MAX

Millikan Way MAX 03

“And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself-Well…How did I get here?”

“Once in a Lifetime”
Written by David Byrne and Brian Eno

Millikan Way MAX 01 Millikan Way MAX 02

I got here by walking across the street.  And by here I mean the Millikan Way MAX platform.  And if I ask myself what am I doing here the answer would be, going to work.  I work for a large company, in a large building with lots of parking out front and I know how I got here, MAX.  Letting the days go by…

And away I go, off into the suburban wilderness to help keep the internets and webs safe and secure.  Like the man said, don’t call me.  I’ll call you.
