A tiny DVD/VHS library we saw today.

A television on a pole next to the road with a sign that reads "One Block Buster". It has been painted orange and the screen, which is also a door, is green.

A view of the television with the door open. Inside is a small collection of DVDs and one VHS tape.

A close up of the DVDs and VHS tape. A "Be kind rewind" message has been written on the back of the box with a smily face.

Spokane's investment in a disc golf course in Liberty Park has been such a success. I ride my bike past it often and every time I see multiple groups enjoying it.

We went to the "Iron & Honor" exhibit at Spokane's Museum of Arts and Culture and saw amazing pieces of art, armor, and weaponry. www.northwestmuseum.org/exhibitions/...
