Umboniso weSeli

Kucacile, nkqu nakuwo wonke owesihlanu nowoMnquma, uDaisley Gordon ayisiyondoda yakho yokubonelela ngebhayisikile, ezi zithunyelwa zirandi ezityhutyha izitrato ngebhasari kaJimmy John okanye iifilitha ezigunyazisiweyo kwimithwalo yomthunywa omnyama.

Ngenye into, uGordon ugubungela isigcina-ntloko esigqibeleleyo emthunzini we-Day-Glo i-flamingo inokucinga ngokuvakalayo. Kule mva kwemini yangoLwesine emanzi, ubonelela ngokutshiswa kwangoko ngaphambi kokutsala kwiBike Bike yakhe, umbane ohambisa umbane onokuthi ube yiHummer emva kokulungiswa kwabathunywa abohlukeneyo. Ngaphantsi kwesi sigcina-ntloko, iimaski ezinamavili kunye neiglasi ezingapheliyo ziyafihla ubuso bakhe bonke, kwaye inyani yokuba indoda ehambisa ibhega yesidlo sasemini phantsi komthunzi weetreyini zeMonorail inokuba ngumnini-mphathi we-Pike Place Market eneminyaka engama-26. .

UGordon wacinga malunga nonikezelo olude ngaphambi kokuba ubhubhane ucime igumbi lokutyela laseCafe Campagne— “kuye kwaba nzima nangakumbi ngabantu ukubuyela edolophini.” Iinkampani zomntu wesithathu beziphantse zaba yindlela yokwenza loo nto, kwaye uGordon wafumanisa indlela ebuyela umva kuloo ndlela ivelisa umsebenzi owongezelelekileyo kunye nomgca ongemva komva.

Kufanele ukuba ndibhaqe ibhayisekile kaDomino ndize ndimhlawule i-50 zeedola ukuze akhethe ingqondo yakhe, ”wazicingela njalo.

Ngelixa izidlo zikaGordon zitsala izithethe zamaphandle aseFrance, ukukhanya kwakhe kwempembelelo yokubonelela kwafika apha kufutshane nendawo yokuhlala. Ngokukodwa, iibhayisekile zombane ezincedisa abaqhubi bePizza eDomino ezantsi kusetyenziswa iindwendwe zesiza. “Kufanele ukuba ndibhaqe ibhayisekile kaDomino ndize ndimhlawule iidola ezingama-50 ukukhetha ingqondo yakhe,” wazicingela. Ngenye indlela, wagqibela ngokuthetha nenkampani ebonelela ngamavili, i-Rad Energy Bikes yobuqu ka Seattle. UGordon wazibhengeza njengendawo yokutyela i-e-bike guinea pig, ikakhulu kuba kukuchongwa kwakhe kwi-inshurensi. I-1.5-mile radius, wafumanisa, isebenza kakhulu kwiibhayisikile. Wadibana nemephu, wakhetha indawo ethe tyaba, kunye ne-Cafe Campagne efanelekileyo yokuya kwindawo yokutyela njengommandla osebenza ngobuninzi be condos. Ukubonelelwa ngeedola ezingama-50 kuthetha ukutya sangoku apha. Kuyafana nokutya, njenge-wedge ye-crab quiche ekwaziyo ukuba silky emva kokuhamba kwayo ukusuka kwiPike Place Market ukuya eWestlake.

Ibhayisekile yahlala ihleli nje iiveki ezimbalwa ngeli xesha lasehlotyeni ngelixa uGordon walungisa i-inshurensi yakhe. Ekugqibeleni, iodolo yokubonelela iphambili yafika apha-ukusuka kwindawo yokuhlala ibhloko enesiqingatha.

Wena uphakame ucinga ukuba ukhwele ibhayisekile yakhe entsha.

Ikhuriya engenziwanga ngabom

Umsebenzi omtsha kaLois Ko uqalile ngomyalezo ocofwe ngokukhawuleza kwiNextdoor. Ukuvalwa kwayo bekungekho veki yonke kude kwangolo suku ekuqaleni kuka-Matshi, nangona kunjalo iindwendwe zesiza seenyawo ezigcine ivenkile yakhe ye-ice cream iCandy Alchemy, kuyo yonke iKholeji yaseWashington, yaphuma xa ikholeji yathatha izifundo zedijithali.

Okwangoku ngalo mzuzu, isihlalo sikaKo siphinda sihlahle kunye nokupholisa. Ukuqala kwakhe ukuhambisa kwakhona ngo-Matshi kwathatha ixesha elide, nangona kunjalo wayekhupha iipeyinti (kunye noxolo) ezinzulwini zobusuku. Kwangoko, wehla iinyembezi zokuphelelwa lithemba kwiCamry yakhe phakathi kwamathontsi. Ngoku ukuqonda kwakhe izinto zokusebenza-ukusuka kwimephu ezikwi-intanethi ukuya kwii-canin ezijikelezayo-kungachukumisa abasebenzi be-UPS ops. U-Ko uya kupheleka ipeyinti enye ukuya eLynnwood okanye eRenton okanye eBellevue ngaphandle kokubiza ixabiso lokubonelela. Uninzi lwabantu, utshilo, luyalela ngaphezulu.

Ubeka iiodolo kwiveranda ye-shopper-iPersian Rose kunye netshokholethi-cookie-ganache DarkSide ziintandokazi-emva koko unkqonkqoza emnyango aze abuyele emotweni yakhe, ejonge ukuqinisekisa ukuba umntu unezisombululo. I-Candy Alchemy nangona kunjalo ineendawo ezintathu zomzimba eSeattle, nangona kunjalo "Ndivakalelwa ngokungathi iyakuba yile ndlela okungenani enye yr," utshilo uKo ngokuhambisa kwakhe. "Okwangoku ngoku ukujikeleza kwemali ngoku, kodwa ke likho ithemba ngathi."

I-Candy Alchemy ngoku ine-odolo e-on-line echanekileyo, nangona kunjalo inani lezicelo uKo azifumene kwisisele sakhe kwezi ntsuku zakuqala ziye zadubula zaba yimisonto yobushushu bomxholo. Ngokwesiqhelo baphakathi kwifoto yokuvuma yesingxobo se-pint esingenanto, imixholo yayo ityiwe kwindawo enye; Ngokwesiqhelo iiKo iiteksti kwakhona ezingenanto zemifanekiso yakhe yobuqu. Olu hlobo lutsha oluqhelekileyo lubonelela ngethemba lakhe.

IJeep ecingwayo

Ayinamsebenzi eyona nto ithatha inxaxheba kwinkqubo yayo yesandi, iEden Hill Providence Jeep iya kufaka ingoma enye kuphela entlokweni yakho: Umculo kaKelis “Milkshake”, lowo uzisa onke amakhwenkwe eyadini. Le boxy, circa-1980 hardtop mannequin, eyenziwe yahonjiswa ngomqhaphu-ilekese epinki-isimbo sikaBarbie esibhaliweyo sobungakanani bobomi-ngokuqinisekileyo iyatsala nabani na kubumelwane bayo kwiiyadi zabo. Ngokukodwa xa iJeep yangasemva ivulelekile ukuze iveze iintonga ezintathu zobisi ezixhonyiweyo eziqulethwe emnyango kwakhona kwaye zikwazi ukujikeleza.

Umnini wesakhiwo e-Eden Hill uMaximillian Petty uhambisa iJeep ukuze abhukishe kathathu ngemini, ngakumbi iminyhadala yezentlalo okanye imibhiyozo yemihla yokuzalwa. Inani labamelwane bakaKumkanikazi u-Anne banee-aphoyintimenti ezimeleyo zokuthabatha ubisi ngeeveki. IJeep ayisebenzisi kude kakhulu kuneemayile ezintathu, ukusukela oko ibuya indawo yokuhlala inyusa inkqubo yayo eneminyaka engama-40 ubudala. Inkqubo ye- Trolls Isandi sefilimu siya kufumana ujikelezo olunzima. "Kwenza abantwana baneliseke ngokupheleleyo, nto leyo eyenza utata nomama bangabuhoyi obu butyebi," utsho uPetty. Wayenokunika ulonwabo olunyulu ngokwasemzimbeni, nangona kunjalo i-EHP ye-milkshake Jeep yazalwa phantsi kweemeko ezazinyanzelisa: "Kwathatha ubhubhane ukundenza ndibenamava ngokwaneleyo okwenza umsebenzi omninzi kunye nemali kwinto enye osisidenge."

Emva kokuvalwa, indawo yakhe yokutyela ebalaseleyo, i-Eden Hill, yabamnyama xa uPetty kunye neqabane lakhe, uJennifer, bethululela amandla abo okulwa-okanye-ukubhabha kwi-Eden Hill Providence. Yakhula ngokukhawuleza yaba yenye yeendawo ezimbalwa zokutya edolophini ejongene nokubonelelwa kwayo. AbakwaPettys babeka inkolo yabo kubathengi babo kwaye bathumela burger ukuza kuthi ga ngoku njengeMercer Island kunye ne-Bellevue kungabikho sikhulu saseburhulumenteni, abantu abathembekileyo babeka ii-odolo ezaneleyo zokwenza ukuba uhambo lubaluleke. "Bayabonakala ngathi kwaye sizolulela bona," utsho uPetty. “Sishiye apho.” I-inshurensi eyoyikekayo yokuthenga inshorensi — indawo yokutya 'izixhobo ezintsha eziyimfihlo zokusinda kubhubhane-ikhusele abasebenzi ukukhuselwa kweemoto abanokukufumana.

"Ukuba ndithe ndehla, ndingathi ngesikhephe sam nditshone kunye nolu hlobo lweqela loncedo nolonwabo, kunokuba ndedwa kwaye ndingaze ndiyile." —UMaximillian Omncinane

Okwangoku, iJeep yeklasikhi efuna ukulungiswa yahlala ngaphakathi kwendlela kaPettys, ukuthengwa okungxamisekileyo emva kokuvalwa, ngokungacacanga kwenzelwe ukuhanjiswa. Esi sibini besiceba ikhawuntari ye-burger ekhawulezayo; nanjengoko elo cebo lakhula laya likhula ngakumbi nangakumbi, kwaye nabasebenzi bakhe bekhula ngokuya bekwehla ngakumbi, uPetty waphinda wahlangana. I-whimsy kunye ne-presentation ibisoloko iyinxalenye esebenzayo yesidlo sangokuhlwa e-Eden Hill; Ngelo gumbi lokutyela livaliwe nangona kunjalo, umpheki waluthumela olu tyekelo ngqo emotweni ngaphandle kwepleyiti.

Ngoku, isiqingatha sabasebenzi bakaPetty “baqeqeshiwe” kwiJeep kwaye balwela iflip njengomamkeli wobisi; Umpheki wamalungiselelo e-Eden Hill, uDavid Glass, uye waqatshelwa ukuba adada ashiye indlela ukuze ajike i-huckleberry cheesecake okanye ingcambu yobisi lweengcambu. Iivenkile zokutyela zibiza iidola ezingama-25 kwilori kwaye ayifumani rhafu kwezi zinto ziphumayo, ngaphandle komququzeleli ukongeza uku-odola i-burger kunye nefry. Nangona kunjalo, utshilo uPetty, uhambisa ubungcali-kunye nomoya wokubuk 'iindwendwe-ngokukhawuleza xa ethembisile kwigumbi lakhe lokutyela. "Ukuba ndithe ndehla, ndingathi ngesikhephe sam nditshone kunye nolu hlobo lweqela loncedo nolonwabo, kunokuba ndedwa kwaye ndingaze ndiyile."
