We cheered them on.
strangers
The neighbors across the street even treated us to a sort-of-synchronized sparkler dance!
strangers
So fun to watch them!
strangers
Every time I thought someone was about to get a broken neck, they'd swing into a new position and everything was fine.
strangers
Went to the park to eat bagels with Grant. Watched a group of people do acro together!
strangers
...you never know what you're going to find when you come around the curve. Hit the jackpot this evening with some Chinese women doing a synchronized dance routine to a song blasting on a nearby boombox.

While walking Maddy through Tomkins, we briefly paused to admire this hunk, you know, just hanging out in the dog park all casual. Probably waiting to meet an OKCupid date.

Her: "The dog park? Sure! That would be a great first place for us to meet. How will I find you there?" Him: "Oh, you'll see me."
strangers
Back in Whistler later that evening, Grant and I were eating dinner outside when we watched a stumbly drunk dude briefly slow down and and artfully pee his name in excellent cursive before lurching onward. Nicely done, Brett!
strangers
I also had the very "New York" experience of getting closer and casually realizing, "Oh, I know that guy."
strangers
Four women and one guy covered in body paint...
strangers
Walking home, I spotted a dreamlike scene in the garden.
strangers
...performing a long, semi-repeating dance / ritual ceremony.

1. Air (Yellow) represents mind and thoughts, the ability to think.
2. Water (Blue) represents emotions.
3. Fire (Red) represents will, the ability to direct your thoughts and emotions towards action on the physical plane.
4. Earth (Green) represents all the materials on the physical plane that the three subtle-elements interact with.
5. Space (White), or aether, represent the "5th element" and it is the "background canvas" or "cosmic lattice" that the "material earth" is projected upon.
strangers
While I believe that the "five elements" actually related to a funamental truth about the structure of matter at the microcosmic level, I also really like how in alchemy they're used as a metaphor for the ingredients of human experience.
strangers
The more I read about different cultures spiritual beliefs, the more surprised I am to learn about how the "elements" come up in almost all cultures.
strangers
"Oh, you know - just checking my texts and sunning dese tits. Hoping some cool people stop in this bar I'm hanging out at." Whaaaaaa?
strangers
...the old "get your pretty friend to stand outside on the street topless" marketing move!
strangers
While adjusting the blinds on Thursday afternoon...
strangers
...I spotted the new restaurant down the block trying out a new marketing strategy for their afternoon happy hour...
strangers
BUTCH, PLEASE
strangers
We also had the pleasure of watching this lady repeatedly trying to fight off an afternoon nap...
strangers
...and failing in the best way possible. Every time she'd fall asleep her head would go ALL the way back and for a brief glorious moment she'd look like a human PEZ dispenser and then when she'd wake up, she'd snap her head upright. SO. FUCKING. FUNNY.
strangers
Check it out: 8-Ball. You got a question? You ask the 8-ball!
strangers
...but it just turned out to be a guy with a similar-shaped noggin.
strangers
Got excited for a moment because I thought maybe Larry David was sitting a few seats away...
strangers
Percy was an awesome guide. We paused at this huge bamboo grove to listen to the CAH-RAZY sounds of the howler monkeys in the distance barking / screaching to each other!
strangers
Seatmates.
