Bite of October “Salish Sea” Seattle-life crossing Puget Sound:
We’ve still not ridden the big wheel. But a couple behind us on the ferry complained about it (HER: every goddamn city has one now! HIM: I blame the Brits!)
You can’t blame the British for Ferris wheels:
The original Ferris Wheel was designed and constructed by George Washington Gale Ferris Jr. as a landmark for the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago; although much smaller wooden wheels of similar idea predate Ferris’s wheel, dating perhaps to the 1500s. The generic term “Ferris wheel”, now used in American English for all such structures, has become the most common type of amusement ride at state fairs in the United States.[1]

Speaking of the original Ferris Wheel, I’m trying to get our taxes done before Delia heads to their actual birthplace: NOT London.
