Blue Dots

I often fly to the Bay area for business and I like to sit by the window to view life at 30,000 feet above the earth. I'm always amazed how many swimming pools dot the land witnessed by the little blue squares and circles.
As I flew home days later to Seattle, I noticed the same blue circles and squares above the greater Puget Sound area and didn't realize there were this many pools here as well. As we descended, it became clear that what I was seeing wasn't swimming pools at all, but blue tarps - thousands of them!

With rain in abundance, we use them to cover everything from cars and boats, to wood piles and people. No camping trip has ever been made complete without one. So, the next time you fly into SEA-TAC aiport, take a look down and notice the blue dots. Long live the blue tarp.
