Kissing Jets in Motion Graphics

Living in Capitol Hill?
Following the gossip?
You’ll surely have some kind of opinion on the ‘”kissing jets” art piece NYC-based Mike Ross designed for Sound Transit’s new Capitol Hill light rail station.
When it opens, that is.

Squirrels in the window, nutria in the lake

Is a squirrel a rodent?
Squirrels are so cute, though, right?
