Hmm…I saw them Tuesday night from Madison Park (pic) and have seen them from Beacon Hill, both ‘hoods in the city although MP I was looking across the lake which helps since less light. They come and go and yeah clouds. And the way they hit sometimes Seattle’s at the edge of visibility. Keep trying!

Good to be out of the U.S. if even briefly. Got to witness this large pro-Palestine protest in Dublin and join in chants that Netanyahu and trump are war criminals. Very inspirational.

Do you usually hear Mariners fireworks? I don’t. I heard first, then saw a fireworks show across Lake Washington down towards Renton maybe? Have no idea what it was for. I didn’t think tonight was a Mariners fireworks night.

Reminding me of my rescue border collie Zora, who died two years ago, also at 15. She was a gem. Sorry for your loss.

Curby fan here. Drive by Curby to and from work, always give Curby a shout out in passing. Even wrote an email to Dan Strauss asking to leave them be as any safety features on Delridge are welcomed (I’m at Denny MS, lots of our families in that area.) Omg I’m talking to a traffic safety curb.
