Parks and Rec

Bellingham is great. People really care about getting outside and getting kids active too.
I know this for a fact because I lived by a park.
People were always going to this park. Even at night, in the pouring rain. Exercise was THAT important.
One car would pull up in the dark I would see their tail lights on as they sat there. I assume the kids must be getting out that last burst of energy before bedtime, though bedtime after 11:30 pm seems a bit too late for me.
The car would wait and always another car would show up too.
More people just wanting to get some midnight exercise.
After a short time both cars would leave. I wish I was this dedicated to fitness.

The park was full of art...
Mainly nudes,
...really just a lot of penises. A whole lot of penises.
All over the place.
Most of them were in the primitivism style Maybe to have this on a playground was to explore the potential of spem to one day be children and to play on a playground such as this. Perhaps the artists were were going for pop art style and wanted the phallus to represent the way we see and talk about gender. Way to be current park!

Sadly all good things need to come to an end and us living by the park also ended. We moved to another part of bellingham.

Farewell park in Bellingham.
