I got a decent video of one of my local Stellar's Jays eating at my deck. They're surprisingly skittish given that they're known in national parks for literally stealing your lunch out of you hand. They're related to crows but a little smaller and look like the bottom half was dipped in navy blue.

Waymo to bring popular robotaxi service to Seattle Popular autonomous vehicle company Waymo is expanding its operations to the Seattle area, according to the company.

Waymo is continuing to expand, soon to the Seattle area. I can't wait to be able to use this service! Proud of all the work I did when I worked there. komonews.com/news/local/g...

It was awesome meeting you! I was surprised though as I wasn't expecting to see you. I loved the museum! It is very well laid out and a pleasure to go through. I've been in other museums that could learn from yours. :)

Lastly we went to Stavanger to see the UiS archeological museum recommended by @ellenhagen.bsky.social and to see Lysefjord. I forgot to take pics at the museum but much to my surprise I did get to meet Ellen! This museum is very well done! The fjord tour took us past Preikestolen to Hengjanefossen.

The Folk Museum in Oslo is amazing. They brought together hundreds of historic buildings from all over Norway to be preserved together. These are from the last 800 years, which includes this stave church.

I recently got a chance to visit Europe for the first time and saw parts of Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Absolutely beautiful part of the world! I didn't take enough pictures but here are some of Norway in late August with amazing weather.
