Hawaiian Reprise: Pu'u 'O'o Venting into Ocean
The cupboard is bare, folks; there are no new pictures of Ballard to put here, so we return to Hawaii for a picture of the Pu'u 'O'o lava vent on the Big Island. The Park Service doesn't let you get very close to the action. They're worried about noxious fumes asphyxiating what's left of your lungs after microscopic shards of airborne volcanic glass cut them to shreds. It's not all tropical paradise over there in Hawaii.

The mat's kind of scratchy but it's warmer than the concrete porch. For that we give thanks, Lord. Amen.
Mike's Chili Parlor
Located at the northeast end of the Ballard Bridge, Mike's Chili Parlor has served as the Gateway To Ballard for decades. Mike's is definitely Old Ballard. It's not trendy, it's not a hipster hangout. It's just a chili joint. And the beer is cold, too.

It's tough being a cat on 34th Avenue NW. All day long people walk their dogs up 34th to go to the park. A cat just can't relax.

E-mails pour in asking, "So what do you look like?" Well, if you ever see this foot around Ballard next summer, you'll know who puts this site together.
Dead End (Or Is It?)
A philosophical quandry to start your week with. There are some deep thinkers on NW 69th Street.
