Local man vrooms across the state to attend live mixed martial arts, stopping in Everett to pick up a friend & heading south, where in a sequence of pure comedy, driver (me) braves his too-hot gifted coffee while I-5ing in freeway traffic & is surprised by the lid popping off & splashing a good amount of Americano on the ol’ lap & seat, maintaining his total cool & tactfully pulling napkins from the arm-rest & 3rd-generation utility towel from behind & sopping most, sitting upon absorbers w/ promising results. Conversation carried on, & wet-panted pilot attempted his next sip, w/ the exact same thing reoccurring, to absolute hysteria of circumstances & a perfect opportunity to teach attitude, w/ thankfully successful cloth-drying & safe navigation. 🙌 Once arrived, the pair made their way through the city; seeing people in costumes, heavily painted or pigment-adorned, & initially chalked it up to large population, & soon learned there was a marching protest, which we passed directly through; & as we got nearer to the arena discovered a Hindu spring holiday gathering, w/ music, dancing, & happy vibes.
Once inside, we saw Navajo Sterling get a win, followed by other excellent matches.
Big names were in the house w/ Poatan & Glover cornering their victorious teammate.
Mighty Mouse gets his flowers. 💐
So glad she’s okay after that KO of the Year.
Burgers & milkshakes were gotten & carried along for the walk back, w/ huge lines prompting a stranger to appear to my right & offer to buy my food if I order him 5 burgers, for his friends, which he did, seamlessly. As we rounded the building he & his group were on the sidewalk, w/ the story being told aloud, to which elbow-nudging & more laughter took place, a total win.
A wonderful trip! Home & safe. 😇
