Neighbors replaced their old truck with an oversized truck. Everytime they slam the doors closed it sets my dogs off cause it's so much louder. Cool!

Last NYE Rey got unjustly fired and I found out my friend had been murdered, so like. Anything's gotta be better than that. It was an awful way to end a really hard year, but 2025 has been a great year.

Today I learned (in a conversation with @staterepjuliareed.bsky.social about her new bill, HB 2095) that in Washington a driver is currently presumed liable for a collision if they strike a bridge, but not if they strike and harm someone walking on a sidewalk.

SR 7 at 205th St, pedestrian killed by driver. This section between 204th and 208th has got to be one of th highest crash areas in the state, certainly in the county. WSDOT won't pay for the safe crossing improvements needed for the new transit center.
