The ‘maters 🍅 are pretty much tapped out in the garden, but excited about my fall greens 🥬 coming in!

A little A330neo #wingtipwednesday distraction from the rest of the world’s chaos. FRA-YVR last Sunday.

Happy #twosday! I’m wishing I were still at #oktoberfest instead of working, but alas, those vacation bills aren’t paying themselves.

BrewHound unlocked a badge! Das Boot (Level 2): Das sind mindestens 10 deutsche Biere! David Hasselhoff would be proud of you. Prost! That's 10 different German Beers! Try 5 more for Level 3.

Prost! 🍻

So, the woman in the row ahead of me on today’s flight is bragging about her Tucker Carlson fetish and throwing shade at the guys hair next to her (not like hers is natural, but I digress). How should I troll her for the next 2 hours?

Spent a good amount of time in the garden this weekend. Excited to see some success in fall produce 🥬

The park at Calgary’s Peace Bridge is pretty lovely. Lots other great sites (and eats too). #LGBTtravel

Was there anyone in your theater? Maybe we just went earlier in the evening than most, but I think there were only two other couples at our show. Still great tho

Powell’s is such an iconic part of Portland. Was fun to explore as a tourist with family this weekend! Link in bio for my blog with lots more Portland tips.

Little victories, but I finally took the time to fix a couple of the social links and menus on my blog. Kinda pleased with myself. #LGBTQtravel

Fitting that EWR is worst. But is PHX really worse than DFW (or others)? #travel

Four Days: Calgary Explore Calgary’s vibrant Pride events, cozy neighborhoods, cultural highlights, and inclusive nightlife. But don’t miss the adventure and wilderness of Alberta’s Rockies and prairie—perfect for LG…

After a great time in/around Calgary last weekend, I just wrapped up my post on travel tips. This one’s a different style than I had been using - let me know what you think: upperlefttraveler.com/2025/09/04/c...

Calgary bringing out all the rainbows to kick off Pride last night 🌈 🏳️‍🌈🇨🇦

Did not, in fact, chase waterfalls.
Also did not stick to the rivers and lakes I’m used to.

Looking good, Banff!

It’s not the installation that’s the problem. It’s finding chargers that work. It’s even more sad that many charging locations got public subsidy for the install with no assurance of reliability.

Checked a new airport off my list today! ✅

Few things better than garden fresh tomatoes. Except garden fresh tomatoes with garden fresh basil.

I’ve looked at my EAP and I think they really need a thing about how to protect older relatives against predatory shit without babysitting them. Like: how do we turn two-factor authentication into “if my parents spend more than $XXXX, I have to approve it too”

Not the obituary I was hoping for today, but probably in the top 10…

Any tips for Calgary?

As a car nerd, the video for @kesharose.bsky.social Joyride is amazing with all its obscure models. This must have been so fun to film …

Question for folks who look to blogs for travel tips and planning: do you prefer posts that share things categorically (places to eat, places to stay, nightlife, etc.) or posts that share it like an itinerary (on Saturday to A, B, and C; on Sunday …)?

Love this: “If you are requiring parking for establishments that serve alcohol, then you're essentially requiring the owner or developer of the bar or restaurant to potentially subsidize drunk-driving.”

"Urban planners basically design subsidies for drunk drivers" is a hell of a message about our crap land use, and I'm 100% here for it.

Who reads (prior to travel searches for) travel blogs. Curious for some honest feedback….
