The morning started out bright and warm-ish (50 degrees) so I decided to have a car sketching outing before the rain started. I headed out to the new chippie I wanted to sketch but on the way encountered something interesting, did a turn around and parked to sketch.
Ash Wednesday was just a week ago so it is Lent. I found it interesting that a couple sermons mentioned that during the pandemic, we’ve already given up a lot. In the past couple decades or more, my focus was more about doing rather than giving up something. Anyway, this was in front of the local Renton Catholic church.

Then on around the corner to my intended subject… Salty Blue Fish n’ Chips. They took the spot formerly occupied by a burger joint that was there for many years, though I never tried it. It takes optimism to open a new place during the pandemic. But they will be open in early March for take away only.

I’m a little ambivalent. Some of their fish is imported from New Zealand. That seems like rather a heavy carbon footprint?
