I just finished listening. Well worth the price of admission, Mark.

A large hornworm curled up looking comfortable enough to pupate on a horse nettle in bloom.

Infuriating - they sold most of their team, while we were buyers before the deadline. This was a series I thought we’d sweep.

That was brutal to watch after a summer of anticipation. Next week, more hope, more anticipation.

Moss covered rocks with a small stream of water cascading over them

We finally had a solid day of rain yesterday after a month without. The #waterfalls are still only water trickles, though.

A variety of Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese foods.

#Uwajimaya provides all the snacks you didn’t know you needed.

Color graphic of the coastline of Washington State on the right with gray circles of seismic waves approaching from the left across the blue ocean. Black text on an orange background reads “There is a tsunami advisory for Washington State. Stay out of the water and away from the shore, including harbors and marinas. Dangerous waves and currents expected. More information at tsunami.gov.”

This TSUNAMI ADVISORY is now just for the outer coast of Washington state and does NOT include the inner counties of King, Pierce and Thurston. Ocean sensors indicate a possible one foot wave at some of the outer coast. There may still be some unusual currents on the inner coast. #wawx

I pulled a dozen today, but this one was the grandest. #gardening

A pale green leaf floating on rippling water that distorts the color and shape of the stones below the surface.

River viewed from the middle of the stream. Evergreen trees line both banks and there are wispy clouds above.

Another beautiful day on the Bull River. #Montana #canoeing

Colbert's cancellation is a dark warning CBS's decision marks a dangerous new stage for the culture at large.

Even against all of Trump's cascading attacks over the past seven months, it had seemed that up until now, our culture at large—the literal shows, movies, art, music, literature we consume—seemed somewhat siloed from Trump's fury.

But the end of Colbert marks a dark new stage.

Greetings from the Bull River in NW Montana. A week of #canoeing and #camping on tap.

Why is there a woman in my ice cream? Accidental #photography

How many marine invertebrates can you see? #SalishSea

Red brick covered in many acorn barnacles and a few blue mussels inside of the holes.

T-Mobile Park, Royals v Mariners

Fourth game of the series at T-Moble. Let’s go #Royals

White hydrangea blooms

This little hydrangea lives in a often neglected corner of my garden. Each year I debate replacing it with a more tolerant plant. It blooms in beautiful defiance. #bloomscrolling

Purple clematis blooms against a background of their green leaves

Climbing to show off their glory. #bloomscrolling

FC Olympia v Lane United

Oly, Oly, Oly! #fcolympia

The Captain has scored! What a beauty it was. #USWNT

Did anyone else see that some hopeful fan has already edited Patrick Agyemang’s Wikipedia page to say he plays for Derby County? 😆 #dcfc

Graphic showing percentages of population covered by Medicaid. Text reads: more than half of children in 26 Washington counties are covered by Medicaid

Medicaid touches health care in every stage of life, for Washingtonians in every corner of our state.

Federal cuts to Medicaid would be felt by all Washingtonians, regardless of ZIP code or party affiliation.

I felt uncomfortable in my own skin – until I was dispatched to Wrexham AFC The last five years have been the happiest of my life

Old shipwreck exposed on the beach at low tide

When your teenager asks if you can take a break from work and hike down to the beach, the answer is, Yes!” Sometimes you find a new trail to an old shipwreck. #SalishSea
