Thanks for posting here this morning. I almost forgot but got to the rig before you signed off. A few watts to a low dipole 👍🏻

These were millimeters apart in a stack of mostly postcards

The upper left corner of a forest-green, glossy print brochure is overlaid upon a post card such that the hypotenuse of a brown triangle accenting the upper left corner aligns with a bottom border of the photo on the post card below. An uncanny color match is found in that photo, which depicts ancient art from the Petrified Forest National Park. The brochure obstructs half of the text, leaving “Petrified Nation” visible. The brochure is titled “America the Beautiful.”

Senator Patty Murray @murray.senate.gov · 21/11/2025

The President is a crook —and everyone should understand, when it comes to FEMA, these are taxpayer dollars he’s abusing, this isn’t Trump’s money. Trump is punishing Blue states and rewarding Red states—and he could not be more transparent about his corruption.

Bomb cyclone FEMA denial stings WA as Trump touts aid to red states

A year after Washington's bomb cyclone, the Trump administration has withheld aid even as the president has bragged about awards to states that voted for him.

“miserable, hate-filled wretch” I like how my Senator characterizes people honestly and openly. And how she keeps directing the conversation toward better alternatives than the current administration’s operating mode.

Shadow selfie at Hanwoori Garden, which opened in Federal Way, Washington, in June 2025. The space is impeccably designed, expertly crafted, and warmly inviting. It is the first traditional Korean garden in the state. Find it adjacent to Panther Lake.

Semi rectangular stone obelisk with a sloping top edge interrupted by a circle depicting a taegeuk. Letters spelling “we are one” are stacked on the left side. Shadows of tree leaves and the torso of a human figure are cast on the yellow-toned, sun-warmed gray surface.

Aptly named dragonfly: common whitetail #odonata

A dragonfly clings to a sun-faded fence board. It has black bands on clear wings and a pale chalk-blue abdomen. The top quarter of the image reveals glossy green leaves behind the board, some tinged yellow.

Ai Weiwei’s “Water Lilies,” on view for 1 more day at the Seattle Asian Art Museum, is almost 50 feet long and contains 650,000 toy bricks.

An abstract art piece dominates the frame with shades of blue, pink, and yellow shifting to black, red, and purple from left to right. At the far end, a person stands and looks at the art.
