I think it was coming, but it’s nice to see Seattle extend outdoor seating (first item), with the intent to make it permanent. It is nice, especially as we’re lifting COVID-19 restrictions. I have family who won’t eat inside when there *are* vaccine requirements. So it’s nice that the option is there.
Anyway, please wash your hands right away. And get vaccinated or boosted.

Governor Inslee signed a bill into law on Friday to cap insulin at $35 a month in insurance plans. I was heartened to see that it was bipartisan. People want these sort of laws. They are obviously morally correct.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible for it.

Good morning to everyone except Mike Kreidler. Come on, dude. Come on.
I am generally against people stepping down in the middle of their term. And I think that’s a good starting place as more information comes to light. But damn, treat your employees better.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted.

Good morning to the Washington State Senate. I am glad that they passed 2 important gun regulations. Untraceable ghost guns shouldn’t be out there, and there shouldn’t be guns at government meetings. So there is more work matching up the House and Senate versions of the local meetings bill. The ghost guns bill will be sent to Governor Inslee to be signed. Exciting.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. If you’re not vaccinated, get vaccinated, and if you’re eligible, get boosted.
