The driver smokes a short filterless cigarette, awaits a passenger.
Not any passenger.
Not Flat Eric.
A passenger from a windowless room.
We passby, missing the passenger emerge, missing the small car leave.
Sixty-forth in an in-sight-full series explaining the reasons behind my single-ness
Reason # 64: scary eyewear
Wearing Teflon Rohan trousers and a ski jacket with the hood up makes me look like I’m touting for business. While ambling home from work in the dark I notice that a car driving towards me slows up, passes, does a 3 point turn and starts to crawl the curb, matching my pace, next to me. I walk over, stoop to look into the car and give the obviously confused driver some advice. Upon seeing my scary eyewear he puts his foot on the accelerator.
for 6 days in Madrid.
Flat Eric is the biggest thing in my case, closely followed by my sketching and wash kits… …then some token clothes and a tin of loose-leaf tea. Books, mobile phone, laptop, music player, hats and glasses are in my carry-on handbag (US = purse). Eric in baggage = e-baggage.
It is all that a Wendy thinks she needs. I could be wrong…
Gosh, I hope Eric and I arrived in Madrid together.
P.S. do not ask what Eric is doing with his paws. It’s unpublishable.
- Airway Heights is on a flat surrounded by higher ground.. ?!
- Fairchild Airforce Base is on part of State Route 2 near airway heights labelled as ‘Rambo Road’, aspirational imagery or some form of joke?
- Airway Heights Corrections Center (Prison) is sign-posted from Rambo, not Papillon, road.
- No sign of Dan’s bottom in Reardan.
- Tautological sign posting; a road sign announced “scenic vista“.
- Northwest arts and culture museum attendant said “Miss, please do not put your stuffed toy on the cars“, what a charmer, no messing with ‘Mam’, ‘Lady’ or ‘Oi! YOU”

There was quite a lot of giggling and some wincing on the roads around Spokane 
Flat Eric went to the Factory Outlet shops in Gun Wharf. He particularly enjoyed the ‘Animal’ shop. He was a little disappointed that the Millenium Tower is still not open to visitors…
