It’s so beautiful
The AL West standings, showing the Seattle Mariners with a 3 game lead over the Astros. There are other teams listed, but no one cares about them. Lol…the angels are worse than the A’s??

This is beautiful. I’ve been watching this for hours.

I love this team.
Cal Raleigh being absolutely thrilled that he gets to pour Gatorade over his best friend in the entire world: JP Crawford after Crawford hit a home run to beat the lousy Texas Rangers.

Duke, winning the ACC without Cooper Flagg.
Darth Helmet from Spaceballs says,Now you see that evil will always triumph, because good is dumb.” Also dumb: hating Duke. Go Devils!

I went for a hike today AND finished listening to a book on whales. Living my best life, as well as I can.

Fitness apps really need to not send you a reminder to workout after you’ve worked out:

You know that comic that says, “This book traumatized me. Here, you read it.”? Well…

The book After World by Debbie Urbanski. The cover is mostly black, with spotted orange-gold dots of varying sizes, looking like sparks or stars. The text on the book is a greenish grey and is slightly out of focus. This a design choice by the cover artist.

Couldn’t watch the game but…
A boxing diagram that instead of telling you which each punch says instead That’s Kraken Hockey Baby. Thats is under a jab, Kraken is under a cross, Hockey is under an uppercut, and Baby is under a hook.

Loved my new Lord of the Rings headband. Made for an epic workout. Could probably defend Helm’s Deep now.

The trilby would also be solid. Could see it as a good hiking hat.

My dad used to wear a Greek Fisherman’s hat, and I always kind of liked it:

Thinking about getting myself an official old man hat when I turn 40…maybe a scally cap?

The win probability chart doesn’t capture how drunk the game was, but still quite the swing.
Win probability chart for the Seahawks-Jets game that shows the Jets with a 92.7% chance to win at one point in the game before the Seahawks came back to win.

Today’s #kayak session featured smooth water.
Lake Stevens is calm, with smooth water reflecting the partly cloudy sky.
