Driving Around Naked

Last week, I got a note from Jacob at the Fireborn Art Center in Fremont telling me the custom pieces he made were ready to be attached to my bows. We removed the bows from the vinyl top on Tuesday to be painted, so I stripped around town for the rest of the week:

I’m not a big UT-Austin sports fan by any means, but I graduated from the school and despite making Seattle my official home, I still miss Austin sometimes.
