Love traveling, photography, and cooking. Science, art, reading are my passions. Just retired and enjoying not getting up at 5:45 every morning.

I have been seeing an excessive number of cars whose color I can only describe as “Shiny Primer”. Not a fan.

I heard what I would consider a heinous “add” today on KISW Seattle 99.9 which was extremely disparaging against the immigrant community in the United States. I immediately deleted the station from my preset. Advertisers you won’t be reaching me any more. #Audacy #KISW #99.9Seattle

I thoroughly enjoyed Pridefest yesterday. Many corporations have switched their giving away from such events. I have cancelled my Netflix subscription and have donated the year’s expense to Pridefest. I encourage you to reallocate spend to what matters most.

Interesting article that makes a distinction between loneliness and depersonalization in the age of AI. Long, but worth the read.

Please consult this guy before interfering or interpreting the Bible. Chances are you’re wrong and will be ignored.

I had mistakenly thought that summer arrived. Silly me! It is not yet July 5th. Windows closed and heat back on. See you in a few weeks!

Tried to do Pride Picnic Volunteer Park. Gave up after looking for parking for 30 minutes and drove back east. Celebrating from back deck with a Bloody Mary and well wishes #SeattlePride #PrideAttempted #ParkingFail #SeattlePridefest

If lunch for two people now tops $50, I consider it “Fine dining.” Why do parents take their unruly, screaming toddler’s to fine dining establishments? Why should I be subjected to incessant shrieks?

I stop at the Kirkland Post Office. Apparently someone made a statement.
