Greetings from the “edgy pink” ballpark.

When we went to Japan last year, the hotel we stayed at, our last night in Tokyo, had a channel devoted to the status of the guest laundry machines.

Heron-spotting on the False Creek Loop. A lovely morning for a run. @docbrick.bsky.social @everyheron.bsky.social

That’s lovely. Here’s one that we see on our way to/from work: a Hot Wheels Library, complete with two test tracks.

Keith Jarrett Trio, “At The Deer Head Inn.”

Agreed.

When we were in Sydney in late 2023, we did part of that, from Bondi to Bronte. Amazing views. Manly Beach is very nice, too. Their public transport is SO easy to use.

I trained for my first marathon listening to music. I can tell you, within about 200 yards, where I decided I’d had enough… and a dozen marathons later, I still run without earbuds. It’s good problem-solving time… or just listen to nature. Also, heron spotting!

Indeed… was there last month!

Yeah, it’s a fancy dishwasher with a top rack just for silverware… but it does help with the put-away.
