West Seattle is getting into the Christmas spirit.
Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, and Santa Claus in his University of Washington purple coat walk along Alki Beach with the Space Needle off in the distance.

The aurora was visible from North Bend I heard as I drove back from Eastern Washington. I stopped at a park I know near exit 25 and took this.

America needs attention, but the President is only able to stand dumbly by with a book of prepared notes. Sad.
Trump stands staring blankly ahead with a book of notes in front of him while a group of people scramble to assist a man who fainted.

I ran into Humpy and the Moose today near T-Mobile Park. I got a couple high fives and congratulated Humpy for his historic win in Game 5. But I didn’t even think to take a picture with them until after they took off towards Victory Hall.

I took some photos from Ebey’s Landing on Whidbey Island this evening.
A cruise ship leaving Puget Sound heading to Alaska. The sun sets through a thick layer of clouds over Puget Sound. A flock of birds play in the water with the Olympic Mountains in the distance.

I stopped by Quincy, WA again this evening and captured the Woodinville Whiskey plant near sunset. The smoke in the sky lent a warm orange glow to the photo, but I would have preferred the air to have been clear.

I know I’m late to the party, but I just realized that the Mariners logo in left field is actually a clock.

I'm no JD Vance fan, but his reaction to his recent appearance on South Park is, dare I say it, reasonable and self-aware? It's quite the contrast from the braying loser sitting in the Oval Office. Republicans, it's time to jettison Trump. (It's been time for 10 years, but better late than never)

I took a drive out to the countryside this evening. Mount Si’s northeastern face is aglow with the light from the setting sun.

Cheese shokupan. I should have let it rise just a bit more so it filled the whole pan. Oh well. Shape is only a number.

Yesterday, the Megamillions drawing wasn't won, but the numbers are interesting. Four of the winning numbers fall right next to each other. Analyzing random numbers is a waste of time, of course. Any string of numbers is just as likely as any other. But strings like this are eye-catching.

We’ve been out chasing sparrows for half an hour. Maybe it’s time for breakfast?

The winter fog just rolled in. It’ll be a day to stay warm inside and avoid driving, definitely.
