Masking Tape Saigon


Sometime between Wednesday and Thursday mornings, there was a gruesome battle on the West Seattle Bridge I5 offramp , the carnage of which now lies strewn along the tiny, gritty edge of the concrete barrier. The lives of literally 30 or 40 rolls of beige masking tape were lost in that senseless war, and now, left to the windy & rainy elements, are slowly expanding, unraveling, and their innards splaying across the road. I wasn't there, but imagine the horror of those young, naive rolls flying through the air, so innocent and exposed, crashing to the road, lifeless and alone. (Note the theme song to Platoon wailing in the air) If only someone had secured that load from Office Depot, none of this ever, ever would've happened.
