Ours just arrived.
A colorful print publication by local Seattle news outlet The Stranger. It shows two cheerful looking children with no eyes about to ride a train over a cliff while an eyeless dog looks on in horror. The title is Your Primary Voting Guide.

Met this little buster today when I got home. They were not bothered by my presence and did not seem to take my request to not eat my lettuces very seriously.

I had an excellent rainy bike camping shakedown on Friday. Everything worked and I found a few things I can make more efficient.
A beautiful blue and pink Wilde Earthship bike with front and rear bags at the waterfront. Puget Sound, industrial machinery, and work boats in the background. Same bike leaning on a picnic table at the campground. It's raining and everything is wet. Same bike leaning against a yellow railing secured with a rope on the deck of the Washington State Ferry Walla Walla. Second angle on the car deck looking out the front at the Seattle skyline, bike in the foreground viewed from the back. Low clouds obscure the your of the buildings.

More coots, also on Lake Washington, near the Arboretum. And ducks and cormorants.
A dark line of birds (coots and Mallard ducks) across a body of water. University of Washington buildings in the background. A cormorant is surfacing in the foreground.

I love this art work. It has very little to do with the sections articles, but it shows how ugly our streets are when used for private car storage. Show the truth in media.
Seattle Times section of the Sunday poster called "The Mix." The art shows a beautiful sunset sky reflected in puddles in the street. Derelict looking automobiles are parked on each side while a person is biking up the middle and another is walking their small white dog.

This gave me a chuckle on a rainy day.

Bad sticker placement... #libraries #librarylife
A line of books on a shelf. A bright blue one near the middle seems to be titled "Permission to Screw." There is a library location sticker "NET" and a call number sticker below the title "658.4 H1174P 2017." The author is Kristen Hadeen. The blue book is pulled partly off the shelf and reveals the true title to be "Permission to Screw Up."

Free Range is amazing. New bike day! #bikesbikesbikes #bikelife @wildebicycles.bsky.social
A very happy woman standing in the sun with her new Wilde Bike Earth Ship in blue and champaign pink built up with shiny chrome components and fat gum wall tires. Looking down at the front of the frame and fork to see the sparkle in the paint and the detail on the Wilde logo. New bike in the shade in front of a wooden fence. Shows off the chrome, but paint job is muted.

47 times in the last 90 days going that direction. I'm not bragging, it's just my route now.
A map showing an outage line that depicts my path of travel, specifically crossing 15th Ave NW at NW 77th St. Below the text says "15th to 24th, Local Legend - 47 efforts" which means I have the highest number of interactions with this section in the last 90 days.

The Green Lake Library has returned to the lineup! #SeattlePublicLibrary
A Carnegie style library with a blue banner that reads "Welcome back to your Library!" There are blue balloons and a red ribbon that cross the steps. At the street is a covered bus stop. This photo is further back with a blue sky covered with feathery clouds. A Carnegie style library with a blue banner that reads "Welcome back to your Library!" There are blue balloons and a red ribbon that crossed the steps. This photo is closer up so details are more easily identified.

A troll that follows you with their eyes.
A wooden troll, taller than a one story house, with a pleasant expression, looking straight ahead at you. The same troll, from their left side. Looking at you from the side of their eye.

We had an amazing rally. #RSPCT !! www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
A man holding his fist up in front of a crowd of city workers holding signs and wearing union shirts. A Teamsters Truck that blasts its horn in solidarity. Many union workers stand in the steps of city hall. Many union workers lining the stairs outside City Hall in Seattle, demanding a living wage. The protest moved to Westlake plaza, where speakers rally workers to keep fighting for better wages. A sea of union workers in green and blue shirts participate in call and response.
