Post-martini Hat'n'Boots

No, it's not Mars....


Squared-off toe....


Instep....


The whole shebang....


My friend Tom obscured by shadows....


Once a gas station and restroom on East Marginal Way in Seattle and the subject of a Zippy the Pinhead comic strip, these marvelous objets d'art currently reside in Oxbow Park in Seattle's historic Georgetown district: the perfect illusion to light up the grey matter of the post-martini Friday night brain on the first warm evening of the year.

  1. Quite a story, T. This hat/these boots - uplifted from their previous abode - look well-tended and at home here. Metaphors abound. Here's to a long stretch of warm evenings xo

  3. America wouldn't be America without such wonderful lunacy! Is this where the expression 'Piss in Boots' came from? "Behind you!!!!"
