Round: Tuit

Grand Central Bakery on N. Fremont.

The challenge for May 25 is "Round."

So many choices, so little time.
The oculus window at the Central Library?
Ice-skaters making figure eights at the Lloyd Center rink?
A heap of coins, together with a clever, funny description, as yet unwritten?

As I entered the community center, I noticed some large circular brick patterns several stories up on the power company building across the street. I've been coming here for nine years and never "saw" them before.

As I worked out in the pool, paddling round and round, I stared at the life-preserver on the wall and the round convex mirror near the lifeguard desk.
Too many ideas pulling me in different directions.
I gave up and went to lunch at Grand Central Bakery.
There in front of me was the big semi-circular window with a view of the bakers.

Should I hold out for a full circle?
No, because I was never going to get a round tuit.

NOTE ON BIKE RACK GRAFFITI:

In response to interest in the graffiti in my recent "Rusty" blip, I provide a closeup here.

Hard to tell which direction the writing goes in, or whether it's writing at all. The best I can come up with is that the first three characters could be "205" which might possibly refer to a street in East Portland (Gresham?).

Any thoughts?

Anyway, I do like these bike racks! Today I noticed that through the pool windows I could see another set of Loch Ness monsters in the parking lot, painted bright blue, no rust at all, not nearly as interesting.
