It’s super wet and windy today in the #pnw, so I’ve got a good excuse to stay in my jammies and get out the Christmas decorations. Are you putting up a tree? Here’s mine in my Northwest ski lodge-theme family room. #wawx

Wait…I read that this guy didn’t even vote in the 2020 election. Yet he was pissed off that Cheetolini didn’t win? If you don’t bother to vote, then shut your yap about the results — and definitely don’t make bombs.

During interviews with the FBI, the suspect arrested in the pipe bomb probe told investigators that he believed the 2020 election was stolen, people briefed on the matter said.

How many of these films have you seen? Sadly, only one for me (Sinners). I must catch up before the Oscars. This list is a good predictor for Best Picture nominations. I’ve heard great things about Bugonia, Train Dreams (filmed in WA!), Frankenstein and Hamnet.

I tweeted about this several years ago, citing an editorial board I sat in on with local college presidents. They told us if admissions were based solely on merit, student populations would be overwhelmingly females and Asians, with few non-Asian men.
Trump’s attacks on DEI may hurt men in college admission

I’m walking at the South Sound Wildlife Area off Phillips Road in Lakewood. It’s a great place to walk dogs and to take in the sun on a chilly day like today (high of 44°). You can see Mount Rainier just barely peeking out of the clouds in the shot at left. #pnw #wawx

Good Sunday morning from me and the backyard critters. The squirrels know to peer into the patio door to let me know it’s time for breakfast. The often quarrelsome Western scrub jays and Steller’s declare a truce to share the sunflower seeds. #pnw

Birds visiting my patio this morning for sunflower seeds and a drink of water: juncos, chickadees, house finches, Western scrub jays, Steller’s jays, towhees and all sorts of sparrows. So far the flickers and crows haven’t made an appearance. #pnw

We’re having lunch at Efeste Winery in Woodinville. I’m having Yiayia’s meatballs — so good! Yiayia is the owner, Eleni, who sat with us and chatted all about her family that has operated this winery for 25 years. You must visit! #pnw

Good morning from the beautiful #pnw! We’re driving through Tacoma on the way to Woodinville to taste some wine, because apparently we didn’t have enough yesterday.

The Cran-Orange Whiskey Sour is served, and the turkey butter awaits my sister’s Parkerhouse rolls. Bring on the bird and sides! Happy #Thanksgiving! #pnw

The cranberry sauce is done! It’s decorated with some thyme I grow. My other contributions to #Thanksgiving at my sister’s are a batch cocktail for 10 and a Costco pumpkin pie I picked up yesterday. I’m also bringing little turkey-shaped butter sculptures from Winco. #pnw

I was at Costco at 10 a.m. for one pumpkin pie. But I saw so many people buying stacks of pies that I caved in to the peer pressure and bought a second one. Heck, they’re only $5.99! A nice young man let me check out ahead of him with my two pies. Happy Thanksgiving! #pnw

I took the mister out for a belated birthday dinner to a West Seattle Thai restaurant we like, Bang Bar. He got a hibiscus mai tai and a whole fish, head and all. I told him the eyeballs are considered a delicacy, but he wasn’t interested. 😀
