I went to Art Walk yesterday. There was some interesting art, but I want to talk about masks.

I don’t understand how in some places everyone was masked up, and in others hardly anyone did. One had a sign saying that masks were still required, but even in several galleries that didn’t, everyone, or almost everyone was masked. In another, it was maybe a quarter. Presumably it’s the same people going from one gallery to the next.

I really love the vibe of Art Walk. That kind of free fun in old, cramped Pioneer Square buildings. I have been going since I was a kid. But the last couple years learning about disease spread, and COVID-19 in particular, I think I’ll keep the mask for a while.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

Sorry I missed Monday’s thread. Anyway…

Man, if anything can unite drivers, bicycle riders, bus riders, and walkers it’s fuck those jerks blocking the box. Seriously, they think they’re being soooo goddam smart. Like congratulations on getting 3 feet closer to your destination while fucking things over for everyone else during rush hour.

So, yeah. Fuck those dipshits. Enforce the rules on them. Instead of being angry, we can smile at the fines they’ll get. Much more satisfying than honking or giving them the finger (although obvi, you can do both).

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And if you aren’t vaccinated or boosted, get on it.

It’s Tuesday. And you know what that means. The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally meets for an evening of politics and pints.

Oh hey, Governor Inslee signed the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women’s and People’s Alert law. I suppose that we all knew this would happen when it passed both Houses of the Legislature unanimously. Still, it’s good that it’s official. I hope that it helps.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you aren’t yet.

Green Lake should let bikes back on the main trail. I haven’t taken my bike there since the pandemic, but have walked around it a few times. It’s fine. But I never noticed a problem walking on the path pre pandemic. It made a certain amount of sense when we didn’t realize how much being outside helped curb the spread. But there’s no reason to keep bicycles off the path now.

Anyway, wash your hands right now, you filthy weirdo. And for goodness sake get vaccinated or boosted if you are eligible.

Good morning to Burien, who are building supportive housing to move people out of homelessness. It is a regional problem, and requires a push from the entire region. I am heartened to see it go forward despite vocal opposition.

Every year, I am a bit surprised how late after the legislative session ends, that the governor is still signing bills. The initiative financial statements seems good, but I don’t know how much people voting for tax cuts actually aren’t informed.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated, get boosted, get your shit together.

The days of me working from home and forgetting to put one of these up are almost back but not quite!

So, please wash your hands right now. And if you aren’t vaccinated, please get vaccinated. If you aren’t boosted, please get boosted.

Good morning. I know many people are done with masking. But, I am still wearing one. On public transportation, where it’s required, but also inside in public. I have said many times that since I don’t wear glasses, or have stink breath, that there’s no reason not to wear one. Anyway I found a third!

Over the weekend, I went to the conservatory in Volunteer Park. It was nice, masks were required, and there was only one route through it. I wore an N95, but I could have used a lower quality one. Anyway, several of the plants were flowering. I had the urge to give them a sniff, but of course, couldn’t in a mask.

I am glad that I wore the mask, because who wants to infect people with, or get COVID-19? But, it did diminish the experience. Of course if you care about smelling flowers, getting COVID-19 is probably a bad idea.

Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.
