Back in September (no Open Thread on Monday) with some things that are kind of old.
– Love the idea of a worker owned restaurant. I can’t speak to the customer side, but it sounds like a good experience.
– Filter the runoff, sure.
– Parts of East Link opening next year? OK.
– Wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.
Good morning. My family moved to the Seattle area when I was young enough to transfer most of my sports loyalty to the Seattle teams. But I still root for the Mets over the Mariners (M’s are my AL team). Mostly I just don’t think about it.
But now that every team plays each other, there’s a series against each other late in the year. And while the Mets sweeping would be my ideal, they are out of contention this year, and it would make Seattle so miserable in this penant race.
I don’t think I can watch?
Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

The investment in drug treatment in Seattle has been so lacking for so long that anything feels like a major thing. I hope it’s more successful than the nothing most people who overdose get now.
I am still aroundish.

All this week, fuck the sun. It’s too hot. More gray pleez. More gray.
But seriously, drink a lot of water. Keep drinking. More than you think you need. Now a bit more than that. Fill it up with ice if that’s something you can do at work, or wherever you are. Just glug glug glug it down. You’re doing great!
And hey, while you’re listening to me dispensing rudimentary life advice, please get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

If it’s Wednesday, it’s Carl is talking about his bus trip home from Drinking Liberally. I know it’s very complicated, but man is it annoying when it says 6 minutes away for 10 minutes. Is it traffic? Is it technical issues? Is it one of those things where the drivers switch in the middle of the route, but something happened?
