I'm glad they still play "Louie, Louie" during the 7th inning stretch at T-Mobile Park. I remember when there was a semi-serious effort to make "Louie, Louie" the official state song of Washington.

Whoa. I had to use the quadratic formula in engineering practice. I don't remember the last time I did.

I'd say bobcat. They're native to this area, although they're elusive.

Interesting considering I've never lived in California.

On Broadway. There's a song in here somewhere.

"Token booth?" The NYC subway hasn't used tokens in decades. Old habits die hard!

New York has a reputation for being expensive. I'm not finding that to be the case. Then again, I'm staying in an actual neighborhood rather than a tourist hotspot.

View of Governors Island, where I lived for a while as a kid, seen from the Brooklyn Bridge. I'd never walked across the Brooklyn Bridge. Until today, that is!

Oh, right. In New York you have to specify that you want coffee black.

That was a long day. I'm used to driving in heavy traffic, but today I was reminded that Southern California turns it up to 11.

When I came out to my parents, their response was "Yeah, we knew 20 years ago. We figured you'd tell us when you were ready."

The Hyatt breakfast buffet at Furlandia is disappointing. Denny's across the street might be a better option. Plus I could complete the con experience by ending up at Denny's!

Tuxedokitty @tuxedokitty.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

The con hasn't even started, and Furlandia already has a completely different vibe than previous years due to the new downtown location. It's a good change!

That was the first time I'd ridden an intercity train in the PNW since 1970. Gotta say I'm a fan!

I just noticed something about the neighborhood where I'm staying in San Francisco: no fast food. The only non-local chain present is Starbucks, and there are notably few of them.

I swear, gates and baggage carousel assignments at SEA are like spinning the wheel of fortune: where it stops, nobody knows.

The ferry slowed down to let a couple of orcas pass. That was the first time I'd ever seen an orca in the wild.

Watching Californians driving in rain is almost as amusing as watching Seattleites driving in snow. Almost.

Hmm...what to do in the Bay Area this weekend? I haven't thought that far ahead, lol.

Tuxedokitty @tuxedokitty.bsky.social · 24/10/2025

I think I finally figured out why heavy traffic in California feels different than in the PNW. It's more European: fast and dense, but orderly.

Caltrain shows what Sounder could be if it ran frequently all day and were therefore useful.

Wait... gas costs less in San Francisco than it does in Seattle? How is that possible??
