\"\"I saw the strangest thing on the bus today<\/strong>.\u00a0 Living in a West Coast city, it is not unusual in Seattle, at least in these last few years, to see people (usually folks of a particular ethnicity) walking around in public with masks over their mouths and noses.\u00a0 It first started back during the Avian Flu scare amongst people who came from countries where that flu was a problem.\u00a0 It was kind of odd at first, but I for one don\u2019t give someone wearing one of those masks a second look nowadays.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We saw a lot of those masks on the faces of the Japanese in the recent tsunami\/nuclear meltdown coverage.\u00a0 One news report I remember noting that these paper masks did a person absolutely no good in protecting you from breathing irradiated air.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps nowadays, as things that might be in the air become increasingly dire, one needs something more substantial.\u00a0 Like wrapping a bra cup around your face! <\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s what I saw someone wearing on the bus today.<\/span> I was coming home from a wonderful morning out exploring a place that had been recommended to me, and I SO wanted to get a picture of this guy (actually, I am unsure of the person\u2019s gender eventhough I specifically sat right behind him\/her), but one needs to be careful recording people without their consent here in this state.\u00a0 Technically, it\u2019s against the law.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Yeah, how can I describe this bra-mask?<\/em> It must have been at least<\/em> a 38D cup, it was fringed with lace, and it was a single cup.\u00a0 Usually these things travel in pairs.\u00a0 Just as I was thinking how weird this was, it occurred to me that a boob cup would be a perfect more-substantial substitute for the flimsy paper masks\u00a0 one normally sees.\u00a0 It\u2019s the right shape to fit comfortably over the nose and mouth.\u00a0 I can\u2019t attest to this firsthand, but given how is supposed to be worn snug against the skin for hours on end, I imagine they\u2019re constructed to \u201cbreathe\u201d well.\u00a0 They\u2019re designed the hold their shape.\u00a0 This wasn\u2019t WEIRD\u2026 this was GENIUS repurposing of used clothing!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s my best picture of the person in the bra-mask.\u00a0 Given that this person was so concerned about either germs and\/or radiation (who knows?\u00a0 He or she might have a low T-cell count and a flu could be a really big deal), he or she didn\u2019t seem like the type who would respond positively. I wasn\u2019t going to take the initiative to introduce myself and request permission to get a good look at the bra-mask on camera.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\nNow, today was the first real day of spring.\u00a0 The temperature here in Seattle was in the high-40\u2019s; it was only kinda raining a little bit.\u00a0 Not the ideal day to go out and record my first Tour d\u2019Joko video since last November, but it did sort of hold the promise of more beautiful days to come.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I think you\u2019ll think like it. It\u2019s rather typical of my style in making these travel videos (BTW, in case you’re new to my blog, the Tour d’Joko is just what I call these vids where I head out with a destination in mind and record whatever catches my eye) , but I\u2019m still proud of it.\u00a0 It features the music of my friend The Duke of Uke (the person who is also responsible for getting me obsessed with this whole Rebecca Black phenomenon)\u2026 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/object><\/p>\n

Umm\u2026 end of blog question\u2026 let\u2019s see\u2026 Would you strap a bra cup on your face?\u00a0 Ever traveled through locks?\u00a0 How\u2018s this first day of Spring been for ya?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
