I'm just a guy in Seattle.
Looks like the spotter got spotted.

The first reflective buildings plunked down among the stone and wood and steel, kinda cool. The massive infinity mirror of all of them together, less so.

I think we are witnessing this at breakneck speed with Ai developments.

Somebody saw a poster that said "life isn't about the destination, it's about the journey" and thought, I can fix that.

Even when he has an interesting insight (which he occasionally does) he somehow says it in a way that makes me not want to hear it.

Ah...a loose definition of break if that's the case.

How did you have an eight day break, but only one day without being active?

We got one of those when I was in middle school. We kept and used the luggage that came with it for a at least twenty years after the vehicle met it's (untimely) demise.

Agree with the sentiment.

Somewhat concerned that you shared on a day notable for people hanging out with their families and/or their dearest friends.

It's not on the market (as far as I know), but it IS parked in my neighborhood today. Do you think Unc would be supportive of my slipping a note with an offer under the wiper?

No. You are going to be RATIONALLY angry all day now.

Looking forward to your report. Given what I remember from you previous Ravn coverage, it always surpised me that aspect of New Pacific was generally covered very matter-of-factly.

Wasn't there a thing a few years back where Amtrak upgraded a section of track using in house engineers as part of scheduled maintenance. And then the consultants that didn't get hired for the upgrade complained to congress and the director got canned?

As a person with opinions about grout, I can't wait for this to be available in my area.

A friend tried to get me to buy some in 2010. They were like a quarter.

Whenever I regret not doing it I remind myself I probably would have cashed out as soon as they hit fifty cents.

No offense to Mark Kelly, but his record of service should not be considered a prerequisite for making a statement in regarding illegal orders.

I repost this here not to imply that Bill was Dirtbag — I barely knew him.

Simply because he was my kind of mechanic. bsky.app/profile/dpge...
6/15/23 Trip oil change number two uncovered that several lugs had been cross threaded during Trip oil change one. Bill at VG Auto in Owen Sound, ON stepped had us rolling again the same day. He ended a call, "Gotta go, Babe. The wrench calls."

Now I wish we had the opportunity to see John Frankenheimer's Fast and Furious.

He's pretty good at getting other people to say interesting stuff. Which is a different skill than saying interesting stuff.

I mean, if they are working a shift after six - what are they, farmers?

As someone who has always felt a bit of shame when I'm shlubby in an airport, I'm suddenly feeling an urge to travel in my grubbiest sweats.

I briefly owned a Rad and never experienced a consumer company that was more hostile to their customers. I can't see them handling this with grace.
