I hope you all had a lovely 4th. I went to a citizenship ceremony at Seattle Center that was lovely. But I was probably in the sun for too long.
And man is it going to be too hot for a while. So remember your sunscreen wear a hat, and drink more water than you think you need. Make peeing clear your goal if you’ve been outside for long stretches.
Anyway, please wash your hands right now and get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

The Seattle Chapter of Drinking Liberally meets tonight for an evening of conversations over a drink. Stop by if you can. Let’s talk it over.
We meet tonight and every Tuesday at the Roanoke Park Place Tavern, 2409 10th Ave E, Seattle. You’ll find us in the small room at the back of the tavern or, perhaps, on the back patio. We start at 8:00pm.
Chapters of Living Liberally are all over the place…if you can’t make it to the Seattle chapter, stop by another chapter near you.

Jesus, man. SPD arresting people for writing “peaceful protest” and “fuck SPS” in chalk. Of course it’s for their viewpoint rather than some anti-chalk stance. Chalk. Fucking arrested people for goddam chalk at the height of the pandemic. $680,000 seems like a small amount for 4 people.
