If you find yourself in the UK, I highly recommend a visit to the museum at Bletchley Park. I could spend days there!

I used to be big into spy novels when I was a kid. I think I read every Frederick Forsyth book.

The north side being the sunny side was probably the thing that confused me the most in Australia.

It's called being outvoted. That's what happens when you hold an opinion counter to the will of the majority. It's also why it's important to safeguard the rights of the minority.

Thanks for the reminder, but I'll also enjoy the senior citizen discounts!

Tuxedokitty @tuxedokitty.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

To be fair, the other way around would be equally awkward.

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.

Granola and muesli are also good mix-ins for Greek yogurt.

You'll either love it or hate it, but there's no other place like it!

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

You're more ambitious than I was after the PE exam. All I wanted to do was melt into the couch, lol. Hope it went well!

I'll have to think about it some more, but in the meantime, you have beautiful eyes. ^^

I know it's a pipe dream, but Washington asking to become a Canadian province is looking better all the time. If y'all would have us, of course.

When I visited Spain, I discovered that I had learned Spanish with a Mexican accent. I got a lot of confused looks.

In the strictest sense, it's not wrong: lower demand leads to lower prices. Still tone-deaf though.

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

Interesting considering I've never lived in California.

All wall colors, or different colors for walls, doors, trim, etc?

Indeed it would! Although I think we'd first met earlier that year when I was in your neck if the woods.

I used to volunteer for a con that learned this lesson the hard way 10 years ago. Those who ignore history, etc.

I've never thought of myself as a survivor, but I suppose I am to some degree.

My state has an app where you can look up all your vaccinations, not just COVID. Pretty sure nobody has used that app for a few years now.

As far as the administrative part goes, it's super easy to form a single-member LLC in Washington. Speaking from experience.

I'm giving the taco stand out front a try.

They should make an alarm clock that sounds like a cat about to barf. Nobody can sleep through that.

Assuming I haven't already been greeted in Englush, I usually say (in English), "Sorry, I don't speak [local language]." Usually that prompts a reply in English.

I flew 3x for business last month. For two of those trips, Alaska won on both price and schedule.

I moved back to the Seattle area 39 years ago to be in the same area as my family.

In my experience, Canadians, Americans, Australians, and Russians understand distance. Europeans (other than Russians) don't.

I've somehow managed to avoid Ryanair all these years. I gather that I'm not missing much.

At least they tried! My place had about 2" of sawdust in the attic when I moved in, and no insulation at all in the walls.

Tuxedokitty @tuxedokitty.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

If you do it, you know what you'd be missing at home. If you don't do it, you'll always wonder what might have been. I say, go for it!

Tuxedokitty @tuxedokitty.bsky.social · 08/08/2026

I had a surprise furnace replacement this past winter. In the bright side, I have a cozy house with no carbon monoxide now!

Knocking things off the table? Are you sure you're not part cat? ^^ Hope your stitches are OK.

I'm still trying to figure out why the people who are outraged about Mamdani's grocery store idea are totally fine with commissaries on military bases.
