Today, like many days that I drive to work, I had to pause at Safeco Field as the commuter train passed by. In the back seat my two dogs Tula and Sweety shared the experience of waiting for the train. I turned off the engine and tried to look inside the windows of the passing Dining, Sleeping, and Coach cars. Silouettes of people standing up and stretching reminded me of similar moments when I was inside the train myself.

I had to leave Tula and Sweety in the back of my jeep, while I went in to write code at work. I think that Tula and Sweety do not mind. They are always happy to see me come back to the car, which I do a few times during the day to take them on a walk.
