Morning Scene - A Fire Escape


When I was a little kid, I was sort of obsessed with these types of fire escapes. Whenever we’d go to the Big City (San Antonio), I’d just oooooh and aaaaah whenever I’d see one of these contraptions on the side of a building.
I would have loved this one.

I have no idea why I was so “into” fire escapes. I was sort of a weird kid.

  1. Yep, this is a cool fire escape. I could entertain my brain for a while staring up at it.

    Now, about you...
    You coo at fire escapes and tall buildings. I'll bet you drool at certain bridges too.

    You admire the design and deconstruct them, then rebuild them in your head, don't you?

    Face it dude, you have an inner longing to be an architect or engineer. I recognize a Lego geek when I see one. It's a recurrent theme your posts.

  2. No fire escapes growing up in Fla but when we'd spend the summer in NYC I thought they were cool until I saw someone looking in our windows thru one in the middle of the night.

  3. You TOTALLY want to be an architect, don't you, dooder? :)

    You could pretend to be an architect like George Costanza! :)

    (Barb, that's disturbing!)

  4. Speck: You're right. I'm absolutely bonkers over bridges. And yes, I'd love to be an architect.

  5. Barb: When in NYC, you also have to be careful of the guys staring up your dress from the sidewalk grates. I'm just saying. . .
