Yesterday, Ben & Jerry's hosted their annual Free Cone Day. As has become a tradition, Emily and I headed down to the Kirkland waterfront to participate in the festivities. Unlike previous years, the temperature was about 10-15 degrees colder. That being said, nothing would stand in between us and the dream of free ice cream.
You can tell right away that I had the crazy eyes of ice cream fandom. Don't worry, I wasn't double wielding two cones - one was for Cougar.
The other thing we love about Kirkland, besides the fact it has its own set of cougars, is the "take it to make it" flags. That's right people. When you want to cross the street, there are yellow flags that you take in order to make the journey safely. For all you east coasters that are falling out of your chairs laughing, the yellow flag is one of the most respected symbols here, second only to a dry-clean only tag on your favorite sweater.
Cougar loves the flags.
Just saw this article on the Seattle PI. Looks like the houseboat Tom Hank's character inhabited during the 1993 Film, Sleepless in Seattle is for sale. Despite popular belief, this blog and that film have no association.
Anywho, the 2,075 square foot house can be yours for a mere $2.5 million. Considering the location and notoriety of that house, it may not be a bad deal.
