Some aspiring censor from middle school didn't want you to find out how long ago geology existed.

A sweet-looking Doge
In a parked car outside a restaurant.

I have a hunch that the dog's owner looks EXACTLY like his dog.

I was looking at him taking pictures, so he was looking at me. I walked close and the dog stuck out a paw, like he was smoking a cigarette.

I held out my palm, and this old fella leaned his head forward and down. Then he looked up at me with expecting eyes. I scratched between his eyes, cause it seemed like that's what he was going for, and he liked it.

University of Central Washington

Scanned some flute sheet music from their library into my phone. Will be fun to try out these songs later.

Science cartoon

They're drawn like cute little dinosaurs. There's two dots on the head for eyes. Awe ~

Dopamine looks kinda like Pinky, and Serotonin more like 'Brian'.

What Did YOU Do Today?

I defaced the Leaders of our community with juvenile irreverence.

CEO Boeing Commercial Airplane
Ray Conner

"Boeing Commercial Airplanes chief Ray Conner pushed back forcefully in an interview this week against criticism of the company for moving jobs out of the region.

Anticipating a wave of employee retirements in the next few years, he said Boeing will launch a recruiting initiative in local high schools to help propel the hiring of up to 30,000 replacement workers."

“So they really are just trying to drive out the older people to lower their labor costs. Wow.”

4-Star General
James Mattis

“I come in peace. I didn’t bring artillery. But I’m pleading with you, with tears in my eyes: If you fuck with me, I’ll kill you all.”

- the Mad Dog

CEO of the Year
Christine Day 

She talks just like a politician.

Interviewer: "Did you use the term 'Vision for Life'? What does that mean..."

Public Servant
Ron Sims

"The group Americans for Limited Government used the Freedom of Information Act to get travel records for Ron Sims that seem to show a gross abuse of taxpayer dollars so Sims could make frequent trips to Seattle."

More from the same article:

"ALG is not alleging that Sims did anything illegal – but they do say this raises concerns about how tax dollars are abused by public officials."

LOL. Well, he ain't done nothing wrong... but we're questioning him because the man just don't look right. Because he's black.

More racial profiling from this random pundit (Dori Monson on KIRO Radio 97.3 FM):

"And the question I have to ask: just how many “personal days” did Ron Sims get every year? Was this on top of vacation time that he got?

Ron Sims sat in my radio studio and lied to my face – and to my listeners’ ears – about the financial condition of Sound Transit. I would agree with ALG staff attorney Mark Wohlschlegel who said, “Deputy Secretary Ron Sims is just one more example of Obama's appointees that come to office under-qualified, with a controversial past""

Obama's appointees are uneducated brothers with criminal records, you're insinuating? Dude, this man went to University of Central Washington!

"Ronald Cordell "Ron" Sims (born July 5, 1948) is the former Deputy Secretary of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, having served in the position from May 8, 2009^[1] to July 2011.^[2] He is also the former King County Executive." - Wikipedia

I like how they give him an occupation of "Public Servant" on the school banner, as if to downplay his importance compared to the others. Boeing CEO coulda been just "Airline Mechanic", 4-Star General coulda simply been "Violent Man", and former Starbucks executive coulda been "Starbucks Lady".

You would think he's like, just some delivery guy who microwaves meals for elderly and disabled people. If Obama had attended here, they could have put "Public Servant" on his picture too!

Conclusion:

Impressions matter a lot! I thought up the captions on the spot, before I researched who these people were. Looks like I was 110% correct about them based on my first impression. :-J
