I was sitting in Pioneer Square this afternoon, waiting for my sister to get off work when I noticed three youths holding a rather odd sign. This sign is nothing new to me, because I saw a crazy woman doing the same thing on TV once. You can check it out here or here or here. What I am talking about is Free Hugs. These three kids were in high school. The girl held the required sign. While I sat there, a good twenty minutes, only two groups of people approached them. The first group consisted of an unlikely pair of what looked like street kids. The second, a trio of high school girls, was more interesting to watch. I couldn't hear the conversation, but found it funny that after the first girl hesitatingly gave one boy a half-hug (one arm) she then walked behind her friend and shoved her forward. She then hugged, and then the last girl followed suit. But they only hugged the one boy. Not the other boy or the girl. Anyways....ridiculousness.
Moving on to something WAY cooler. I saw on MSN today this article about a new, fantastically massive house cat. I, being a feline aficionado, am completely smitten. This is probably as close as one could come to owning an Africanesque big cat. Were I not short the $22,000 it takes to buy one of these adorable guys, I would be the first person on that list. I can almost envision myself walking down the street with it on a leash, like in the picture, and people would be approaching me to see if they could pet it. Of course I would say "No," resoundingly. Can a cat be trained to walk on a leash down the street? I'll call him "Tiny."
