I've been listening to a lot of physics podcasts and it looks like Upper Queen Anne and Ballard have been subject to some strong tidal forces

Uptown is above Seattle Center. Downtown is below it. Ergo, Seattle Center is Town. (Please don't ask me to explain Belltown)

The image is of a four panel comic.
In panel one, we see a crow’s face. It says, “I AM DEATH’S MESSENGER”.
In panel two, we see the same crow’s face. It continues, “YOUR TIME IS NEAR”.
In panel four, we see the crow awkwardly hopping away from a stick figure.
In panel five, we see the grim reaper with the crow perched on his hand. The grim reaper says, “So you should probably fly away dramatically instead.”

It was a fall gardening day. Took out the old raspberry canes and fertilized them. I weeded the front bed, took out the remaining lettuce and thinned the arugula. Then I fertilized the area past the arugula and planted next year's garlic. Also (not pictured) took the netting off the grapes.
A raspberry bed with next year's canes onlyA raised bed with two rows of scraggly chard (may recover) 1 scraggly row of arugula and one pretty good row of arugula (these will probably do pretty well in the next few weeks) and 2 rows of garlic you can't see because I just planted them.

Record tying playoff performance by the Yankees in the bottom of the first. Most team errors in an inning, that is.

Spooky bird stories. My Halloween comic from 2024.
A comic titled Spooky Bird Stories. In panel 1, a turkey vulture is telling stories to other vultures, and it says, "She walked toward the source of the terrible smell. She got closer and closer, and then, to her horror, she saw... No dead body." A black vulture says "No!" and a turkey vulture says "Did someone already eat it??" In panel 2, a northern cardinal is telling a story to some songbirds. It says "They peered through the windows of the house at the gory scene. Zombies had smashed through the door in the night. The homeowner was dead. But worst of all... He hadn't refilled the feeders." An eastern bluebird says "Aaah!" and an American goldfinch says "It can't be!". In panel 3, A screech owl is telling a story to other owls. It says "And then the ghost fluffed itself up really big to appear scarier." A saw-whet owl gasps, and a long-eared owl says "Horrifying!". In panel 4, a downy woodpecker is telling a story to other woodpeckers, and says "The eerie sound rang through the dark woods. Tap-tap. Tap-tap. It was the distinctive two-part knock of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. The species had returned from the dead... FOR REVENGE." A red-cockaded woodpecker says "Yesss".

The condo complex in the Caribbean, the Masonic Lodge I forget where, the British woman who needed to renew her TV license. I mostly just ignore them now. The one I took pains to fix was someone coordinating bush fire prep in Australia. That was info I wasn't going to let dissipate in the ether.

A friend used our C-64 to take away the tediousness of rolling the dice in Risk. But then you'd get results which were hard to believe, but you had to trust the code. What? My 15 armies attacked 4 and I lost them all? Oh well.

What's potentially even better than this amazing sweater and this amazing sweater photo, is that it may be a very pre-007 Roger Moore, who - more than one source claims - was known as "The Big Knit" for all the sweater modeling he did.
Advertising photo, possibly from a catalog, featuring a man wearing a turtleneck sweater with three bicycles and riders on it. The man is himself standing with a bicycle.
