boeing

every day i walk past the boeing building. and every day, there in the service drive, is a truck, back door open and security guard with dog sniffing through the packages. the dog is a german shepard and i really want to pet him. i wonder if he sniffs for bombs or drugs or both. would someone try to bring in drugs? that really doesn't make a lot of sense but the bomb thing does. okay, so what would happen if they found a bomb. how much of downtown would be evacuated? i'm only a block away, so i would definitely want to get away from the building. but who would tell me? just another thing to worry about. i mean, i'll try not to worry, but i know it's there.

the other day we had a meeting in a what i call 'the international room'. it had all of these chotchkies from around the world on display. two of note were a small little shield made out of sticks and what appeared to be deerhide. the other was a whole animal tail by itself. i think a cow or something similar. i found this to be disturbing.

i love this building that they are deconstructing across the street. one by one they are removing the floors from top to bottom. i get such a rush when i see the large bin of brick and mortar being dumped from 20 floors up! it makes such a great swoosh sound and then the bangitybangbang as it all hits the ground.
