Wow, two posts in one weekend!  Well, today I decided to continue on in trying to make this a more productive weekend rather than just one filled with me sitting in my room doing nothing, so I made the plan of walking down to the part of town that's close to my college and go into the local Starbucks down there.  Of course, I couldn't help but take pictures of my walk on the way there, as it's starting to look more and more like fall:

This last Thursday, I checked yet another item off of my Summer Bucket List and did something I've wanted to do for a long time: ride the Sounder train.  I remember when I was in my first quarter enrolled in Green River Community College, taking classes at the Kent campus, Mom would drive me down there, but we would often get stopped before the railroad tracks as the Sounder rolled by.  I always loved looking in through the windows at the people inside, some at tables where they typed on their laptops, others reading the morning paper.  I always thought how neat it would be to take the train every morning to work or to school and be among one of those commuters.  I've wanted to go for a ride for awhile, but I never could since the Sounder doesn't operate on the weekends - only on the weekdays when I was too busy with school and Mom was too busy with work.
