I feel sorry for my friend. She has been super awesome every time we go up and visit Seattle, taking me around the area so I can snap pictures, going to fun little places to eat, and just all around being awesome. And then there’s me. I’m the embarrassing one of the equation more times than not.
Evidently Seattle has had a lot of deaths surrounding crosswalks. So to help make the people more noticeable while crossing the streets they put out buckets with these awesome flags. She carried one the first time we crossed the street, very sedately and how I suspect normal people carry the flag.
The second time we crossed the street I was in charge of the flag. I am not sedate. I was flinging that flag all over the place while my friend tried to walk ahead of me. Not only to avoid the wildly swinging flag, but I suspect to also get away from the crazy person with said flag.
I’m pretty sure the passing motorists saw us.
