Things I did not expect to get good at. Selling shit I would otherwise be dumping on Facebook Marketplace.

It’s like everybody forgets how much taxes got cut in 2020.

011

Of the really dumb complaints from then was somebody saying their dumpster had a dead rat by it... this is near Volunteer Park - we have dead critters around here all the time and we ALL have rats and mice, because that's what happens in the real world.

000

I always thought the garden was a good idea but got shouted down at the local meeting we had on the topic back in about 2010... weirdly the neighborhood email list was just relitigating this a few days ago because new people were trying to work out why the garden had closed.

Ye gods people on here can be humorless.

000

Also if you can’t see a joke coming I’ll Show myself out.

My point is the garden is where the seating should be. I’m annoyed this pushes the seating back to what is a really crowded corner.

There’s a big difference between the houses in this area and the ones the other side of 19th or 15th. But sure all the people around here are stinking rich. Got it.

000

People are loose with kids and dogs on the corner which does not blend well with people using it as a high speed rat run from 15th at the park down to 19th. But I think the garden always made sense.

Hard to say. The junction of 17th and Galer is a bit of a nightmare anyway with the one way turn at 17th and people hammering down the hill from 16th. I have said to the city it should be a stop but they’ve not really listened. On my part of 17th only one resident was actually vocally anti this.

100

Not sure there are any apartments near there. It’s all houses. At the time of the original complaint I think it was houses on 16th that did most of the complaining. I’ll admit it has become something of a weekend destination which can make that corner it’s on a right mess.

I live half a block from it and frankly I’d rather they use the back patio than hang at the front which turns and already messy corner at Galer and 17th into a complete zoo at the weekend. But I lost that fight with other neighbors over a decade ago and gave up. Also it’s f’king expensive coffee

DaveO @daveon.bsky.social · 18h

To be fair, as a neighbor of the VPC who’s been following this since it kicked off originally, the houses around that part of 17th and Galer are more like $1.5 ~ $3m :)

Oh, have you met users?

Nor do they understand how easy it is to have one relatively minor thing collapse years of legal process without any warning.

DaveO @daveon.bsky.social · 23h

We need a way to harness this power.

They definitely miss this point.

Medicare fraudster says what now?

There’s been a building issue at our Doctor and I was scheduled for an in person BP check. This has involved climbing 5 stories of stairs. That’s quite enough of a cardiac stress test for me thanks 😂🤣😂

Ah different character actor. Less illustrious career. Seems to have passed quite young.

Brian Blessed was a huge fixture of British TV for decades - major part in their huge I, Claudius production and a big Shakespeare actor. Not to mention he almost climbed Everest…. He is something of a legend in the UK and still alive these days.

But says the line ‘Gordon’s alive?’ To pretty much any Brit my age and they’ll know who you’re talking about.

Oh and Richard O’Brien of course.

I went down a rabbit hole about the cast recently because it’s such a mad movie. You’ve genre movie/theatre leaders like Von Sydow and Topol, then a lump of moderately unknown Brits outside of BBC stuff and theatre and a guy who went on to be Bond… Loved it as a kid. Not sure time has been kind

In a new post 50 low I have pulled a muscle putting drops in my dogs ear.

She’s a relatively well regarded Italian actress these days and had a lot of credits before FG but I believe the problem was she didn’t speak English and learned the script more or less phonetically hence the quite peculiar delivery. She’s done lots of mostly Italian movies since.

I have a Fortran 77 book which was the most expensive text book I have ever bought which isn’t even a useful paperweight in 2026.

Although they might have got lost on the way to England and decided Ireland was nicer.

000

Heard the Spanish liked the area in the 1500s too

Waterford might be fun for an autumn break….

There will be another re.pc trip coming up and then I reckon 2-3 dump runs. We are getting down to the last stuff before we dump everything.

000

I’m now down to the ‘what the hell do we do with this shit’ boxes like decades out of date software from when it used to come on DVDs in boxes. Open to suggestions.

100

The great packing continues. I’ve triaged the books. Sorta. I suspect we’ll move back with a lot less than we came with - there’s some I don’t care about that don’t give me joy and some that are painfully out of date on various topics that don’t even make good coffee table books.

As a Herts Lad I’ve been trying to think of a witty come back and failing.

We spoke to eight voters at a liberal coffee shop and they stared at us and then went back to drinking coffee because this is Seattle

Hitman & her tokyo joes preston pt 3

Having tried and failed to explain The Hitman and Her to my better half Iwas shocked to find entire episodes online. ENTIRE EPISODES including many from Tokyo Joes Preston which sadly succumbed to entropy a few years ago. Sadly might be over stating it. youtu.be/LjIr8nuAjlE?is

We are still in Shrodingers appartment for our move so I feel this.

These people deserve to be run out of town.

I strongly suspect she’ll sell it. We nearly bought it a couple of times but the timing never quite worked out.

And Capitol Hill is excellent IMO but I have lived here for almost 20 years. The 15th Ave E neighbourhood has been awesome to live in.

Shame about the timing. We have had a ludicrous deal for the last 18 years and I think the land lady will continue to be reasonable with the place.

Ah. And we are definitely not moving before mid November.

But it won’t be available before Dec which I appreciate may not work.

Did you discount Capitol Hill? we just gave notice and our landlady has been super reasonable given the size of house and location.

Hah. Posted my reply before seeing this.

My understanding is that he is not necessarily entirely wrong there but it’s fairly complicated. The old rule was that while a stealth aircraft might have the physical size on radar as a bird. Birds don’t fly that fast so you could find them by looking for fast high altitude birds.

Bear in mind over nearly 20 years in a 3 bed house our rent has only gone up by $1,100 and it's WAY under market rates right now. Large garden too.
