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.

Good morning one and all. How was the legislative session? The headline on this article makes it seem bad, but the article itself points to more of a mixed bag. We should elect Democrats and push them to do as much as possible.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And for goodness sake get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.
It’s good that the City of Seattle is returning ownership of objects found in 2013 to the Upper Skagit Tribe. It’s a bit strange that the City Council needs to be involved. It seems like it should be automatic. But if that isn’t the process, I am glad they didn’t get in the way.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. Right now. And get vaccinated, for goodness sake, if you’re not already. And boosted if you’re eligible and haven’t been yet.

Washington doesn’t have a mask mandate anymore. I see a lot of people on Twitter saying that Seattle people are still mostly masked up. I didn’t feel that, but Pike Place Market is my grocery store, and it’s tough to tell who is local, and who is a tourist. Other than that, I didn’t get out much during the weekend. I wish I saw more masks,in general, though.
I am wearing a mask as I write this, but it’s still required on public transportation. I will still wear it at work, but I don’t know how universal that will be.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.
