I think I've finally seen some construction starting on the downtown PCC. I walk by every day and have been wondering why no activity but the last few days it seems something is going on in there.

I did an early #Thanksgiving with my family earlier this month, so today I just made this really yummy sandwich.

Highly recommended to give this bread a try for sandwiches:

Yay! PCC is reopening the downtown #Seattle store.

I hope the "limited selection of grocery" includes a good selection of produce like they had before. But either way looks like a good creative use of the space to focus on what makes money and save money with the office relocation.

Took the light rail to check out the new Lynnwood, WA station today. Feeling a bit nerdy getting excited about infrastructure, it feels like forever I've been watching the construction and wanting to use it. So cool to see how many people were using the new stations.

Nice day in #Seattle for a scooter ride to get a drink and pickup some groceries for the weekend.

Used only 250 Wh for an 11 mile ride, driving would have used over 10x the energy.

I love voting in Washington and King County. Easy voting by mail and convenient drop boxes. We even get a cool sticker this year.

Primary ballots are due today. Lots of time still to get them in if you haven't already.

After a stressful weekend with scary planes flying around, Echo can finally relax.

Seafair in Seattle is fun and I enjoy watching the planes. Too bad it's not as fun for dogs.

#TuneTuesday #TheOpener : The first song you remember hearing live

August 2013 I saw The Cult at Ogden Theater in Denver, Colorado. I remember a lot of the songs they played but had to cheat and look up the setlist to get the first.

Had a good spot to watch right up by the stage. Still one of my favorite concerts I've been to, tons of energy and a great performance.

Getting sucked back in to #StardewValley with the huge 1.6 update today. Amazing work from ConcernedApe to add tons of new features so many years after release.

With everything seemingly getting enshittified this is a breath of fresh air to see a developer adding things people actually want. Like this cute new dog, I love him, reminds me a bit of my dog.

Here's to a great 2024🎉

On my own this year for Christmas so instead of making something traditional for dinner I decided to make a winter comfort flavored pizza.

Roasted pumpkin with caramelized onion, prosciutto, and sage. Cheese is Gruyère and ricotta.

Christmas Eve walk through the city with Echo.

Not much traffic on the roads tonight making for a nice walk. Amazing how much better the city can be when it is not filled with cars honking and blocking the crosswalks.

Gave this recipe for Cincinnati Chili from Serious Eats a try. I was a little skeptical the spices would work but was open to trying it and ended up loving it.

I didn't have an oval plate to make it traditional. Used a rectangular plate to get close and not use a round plate, sorry Cincinnati.
