I hope you enjoyed the storm. It was rather fun to watch, but it did delay the Reign FC game I was at for longer than we were able to wait. It seems like a good lightning storm is becoming more common in the Puget Sound area than it was when I was growing up. Maybe that’s perception, but I think of those sorts of storms as an East Coast phenomenon.

Glad Howard Schultz is officially no longer running for President. I mean try not to help Donald Trump win reelection. A weird vanity campaign was never going to help.

I, for one, look forward to going to Starbucks occasionally, again. I was never going regularly, but if I’m thirsty, iit’s nice to have another option, who isn’t actively making a Trump second term more likely.

What the hell is happening in the UK? Several years of uncertainty post Brexit and now who knows? Snap election? Bills limiting how to leave? Two unpopular weirdos vying to be PM? I generally prefer the Parliamentary system to the US (and we’re having our own problems at the moment too) but geez.
