4th of July Festivities
Trent and Frodo were in town last week on vacation and we had quite the 4th of July celebration. We started out by buying several pounds of raw oysters from Uwajimaya’s in the International District of Seattle, taking them home and feasting on them till we were all nice and full. We had a bunch of snack foods and beer as well.
Below, Andy opens one of the oysters.

How to Park Your Car
Living in the city of Seattle, I many times come into tight areas where I have to park my car and occasionally even brush bumpers with people around me. However, I think I should take lessons in how to park your car from this dude in the funny video below.
