This radio ad infuriates me. The homophobia is obviously offsetting, but the thing that really gets me is the blatant disregard for reason.

This video consists of lies, and lies of omission. The people who made it are liars, who are apparently deliberately misrepresenting the case to make it more appealing to people’s emotions. You can find out as much by reading the court documents, as I did.

I hate this. This creates hatred in me. I feel like ripping open the people responsible for this. In my primitive rage I feel it is justified because they, apparently, are animals too. They do not have reason or pride. I pity their children.

I am a very calm person, so this is somewhat surprising for me. I am glad that I have reason and pride to carry me through this moment.

It may take a really long time, but eventually I’d like to be as good at prints as Aaron Horkey…

Every year Emerald City Search puts on a treasure hunt for a medallion.

This year’s theme is the history of Bumbershoot.

We’re up to clue 6, which means only four remain. My intuition tells me we’re looking for a purple umbrella in copper casing, hidden possibly at the end of a fence, possibly made of wrought iron. Probably in Denny Triangle.

Edit: and possibly in a parking lot, and probably not in a park.

CLUE #6

Let us dance all night with one hand waving this shape,
With Cornish’s trailblazer in ankle socks helping to play our game,
And over at Bagley, Pacific Northwest performs all Balanchine,
Providing foundational moves that answer to this clue’s name.

CLUE #5

Follow me as we steal away to see art wrought on stage,
Many things to mend, whether as in Wilson’s Pulitzer play,
Or Kabuki theatres made of straw, bamboo or wood,
Affixed at the happy end, success may earn you some cachet.

CLUE #4

I can show you painterly abstractions and Northwest exhibitions,
That will equally shape your map on which to find,
What Jacob’s cobbler shouldered, or Helen’s gallery once formed,
In Euclid’s Elements, this founder’s theorems were lined.

CLUE #3

A frown turned upside down, it’s comedy tonight!
Relax, park your derriere at Seinfeld’s central space,
But be careful about being led astray like Sid’s Big W,
Your Show of Shows will end in a Coupe de Vaudeville race.

CLUE #2

Our audience, you’ll see, brightens the festivities,
Whether the weather of ’77 fails to give us grace,
Or we’re gathered for Sarducci’s vows beneath this Chinese custom,
Theirs is red, ours is purple, folded within its copper case.

CLUE #1

Come along this way, let me show you spectacles galore!
We’ll celebrate forty years with Maiman’s light show gems,
Seeing Jimi’s Red House exhibition and Stone Free concert,
Burnings bright, atop your prize, our show begins.

Went cloud watching yesterday.

Armed with sandwiches, juice, grapes, and peanut M&M’s.

There may have been up to three separate wind directions. Or I may just lose track of time and space when I look at clouds.

All the pictures have a darkish smudge in the upper left. Probably some of the junk that’s settled between the lenses in the three years and third of the globe this camera has traveled.

Best kind of M&M’s are the peanut butter ones, IMHO.

Do you ever get tired of videos on the internet?

Yeah, me too. People are awesome.
