Was that up at the Japanese Garden? We visited this weekend from Vancouver WA and were surprised by the fall colors that were still lingering.

@southwest.wsdot.wa.gov I saw this notice pop up on my WSDOT and I'm slightly confused. 🤔

Should it be on SR 500 vs SR 506 where Lacamas Lake is?

Or is it for the work being done on SR 506 in Vader vs Lacamas Lake?

Hey geeky friends that like space exploration: Check out these coasters! I ordered a acrylic wrist rest from the same person and may need to add these to the collection 😁

My home office desk space theme is going to look even more awesome!

My son just told me a friend of his finished basic training and now starts tech school for installing ejection seats.

I told him, " That sounds like an uplifting career." 😁

He said I need to leave the room. Now. 🤣

A circular lapel pin that contains LGBTQ colors on top and transgender colors on the bottom. Text on the pin reads "You are safe with me."

Received this at church today. I'll be wearing it tomorrow for Transgender Day of Visibility.

You are safe with me today, tomorrow and always.

Posting up for #PDXTST, we are currently in Thunderstorm Watch

At least it isn't U of O green 🙃

Now that you said that all I can picture in my mind is you looking like Rodney Dangerfield in Caddyshack. 😂

I grew up there.

Some say you are smelling Sunnyside’s “Derriere”

Others say it’s the smell of money.

I guess it all depends on what side of the city limits you are on.

'God walks with us through the ashes.' A poignant Ash Wednesday after LA wildfires On Ash Wednesday, Christians hear the words "Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return." Those words ring differently for many whose churches and homes burned in the Los Angeles fires.

This hits close to home.

We had to rebuild our church almost 10 years ago after being targeted by an arsonist.

It's a long process. I hope they feel the love and support of their communities.

@southwest.wsdot.wa.gov glad to see traffic updates on Bluesky!

I've missed them since ieft that other site.

It's great to have you here! 👍

My wife just said, “Thanks, now I have that stupid song running through my head.”

Morning ear worm for the win!

Picture text says WATCH VS WARNING: Watch - we have the ingredients to make tacos. Image is of ingredients over the legend "taco watch". Warning - we're having tacos. RIGHT NOW! Image is of a fully made taco over the legend "taco warning".

In re the notice we all just got on our phones:

Ruoka on lämpö, ja lämpö on onni.

Food is warmth, and warmth is happiness.

Happy early birthday to your grandmother! 💙🇫🇮💙

Holy cow. I need to remind myself to slow down when typing things on Bluesky since there isn’t an edit button yet. 😬 🤦

Luckily, my family is fluent in “PykeMannese”. 🙃

Yeah, some are just odd to listen to. 😁 I appreciate the experimentation. You should have seen my test runs using OBS back at the beginning of the pandemic… or maybe you should be happy you didn’t. 🤣

How/why is it that the Oregon Coast got more snow than Clark County, Washington has so far this winter?! Not fair! 😩

(No need to reply, I just wanted to stomp my feet and whine a bit. 😁)

I’ll admit to having only contacted my elected officials no more than twice in my 50 years.

This will change now.

Let’s light up their phone lines like it’s a Jerry Lewis telethon!

@jasonmruby.bsky.social videos that seem to be AI generated Al have been popping up on the old DP YouTube page… is that you or didn’t get hijacked?

“We’ve seen this movie before,” Mrs Pykeman said this morning after we talked about some of the headlines.

“Which one?” I asked.

She fed me a couple of hints and the I got it! 😬

I needed a good laugh this morning and this skeet supplied just that! 😆

Found over at @internethippo.bsky.social

😮😠😡🤬

*for snow totals… <when is that edit feature coming to Bluesky?!>🤦

Wonder how my co-workers in Lacey will fare tomorrow. I’ll just stay in Clark County. No parts run for me tomorrow…. <Checks
tomorrow’s schedule> scratch that: Service call in Vernonia, OR. (630’ ele.). 🙃

The models have quite the bullseye on Southern Oregon or snow totals. 😬 Enjoy it the best you can! 🙂

With snow and ice on the ground impacting roads on Groundhog Day, there’s only one piece of valid advice to give today. #wawx

Using QTH grid (aka Maidenhead) can be very useful for weather reports online.

A couple years ago someone created a iOS Shortcut to your grid location to the clipboard.
