Anna and I are on babysitting duty for the next few days, taking care of my co-worker’s feisty black cat Mazzy. The first day did not go well. No matter how many feather toys we tried, we’d get a hiss in return. We’ll try again tomorrow. In other feline related news, our household adopted a stray kitten today from West Seattle’s
Kitty Harbor. He went by Male #50 when we met him, but now he’s Bax. Click
here to view him all dressed up in his tuxedo. Anyway! The point of all this is that cat babysitting duty is at my pal’s Beach Drive waterfront apartment. We stopped by around 7pm and witnessed one of West Seattle’s many amazing sunsets. Today’s photo shows some bathing at Alki Point Beach circa 1918. Click on the image for more res. Keeping it short and simple today because I’m off to pet Bax and show him around his new home.

When was casual or beach attire introduced? Suits, hats, and hard leather shoes look so out of place at the beach.
Bax is tooooo cute!

I love Bax! What a cutie! He looks like my tuxedo cat named Skeezix.

“The point to the right is West Seattle”? So back in the day:
1) Alki Point wasn’t considered West Seattle, and
2) West Seattle is what they called Duwamish Head?

PS: “Bax” is cute, but “Male #50″ is a pretty awesome name, too….

Nice image. I had never seen this one in all my years. Thanks.

He is adorable! I am happy that there are people out there like you and Anna willing to adopt a kitty who needs a good home. I wish there were more like you.
