Magnuson Park Blowout
200 years from now scientists will invent a translator capable of speaking with seagulls. Behavioral psychologists will have discovered that seagulls are some of the planets most brilliant creatures with advanced forms of communication, art, and complex socio-political structures. Seagulls (being very benevolent creatures) will be extremely excited to enlighten us on ways to correct our sadistic, malevolent, violant, and generally destructive tendencies. They will send a delegation to open comunication with the scientists. Unfortunately, the seagull delegation will stare at each other with despondent, unbelieving, and unblinking eyes, when the first question from the scientist is “So how many words do you guys have for WIND anyway.” After an awkward silence a seagull will reluctantly step forward and say “ a… well… I guess about 78.” Things will go down hill from there.
Saturdays San Juan 21 race at Magnuson Park would likely have covered at least 42 of those 78.
