Asides

You know animal kingdom is empty when Starbucks is a walk-on ride.

Well, I just saw my first copperhead on the nature trail around our neighborhood… I guess there’s never been a better time to never go outside again.

I promise I’ll get around to posting some of our backlog of posts!

We’re in REI.

Bevin: “yeah, this feels like Portland.”

We’re checking out.

Cashier: 503 phone number? I’m from across the river in Vancouver, and the guy I just helped is from Olympia!

(Also “yeah man, save the trees!” when I declined a bag.)

I guess we found our people?

It’s 68 degrees with high light fluffy scattered clouds, a gentle breeze is blowing, and the Blue Angels are tearing up the sky.

It feels almost like a Seattle summer. If only there were a slight saltwater smell. (Or, you know, any sort of mountains on the horizon.)

I just tried to shoot the paper sleeve off my straw at Bevin and it flopped flaccidly onto the table instead.

She laughed at me.

I am hurt.

Imagine a Sears, a Best Buy, and an Ikea got together and adopted the baby of two Boeing 747 assembly plants.

Welcome to Nebraska Furniture Mart.

Bevin is so excited by EVERYTHING. She may have a stroke.

Tomorrow is going to be a big day. Updates to follow, but for now, sleep.

Claiming to understand why the freeways around here are built the way they are is surely a sign of madness.

This rental car (Nissan Altima, 200miles on it) has a USB-C port in the dash. I am excited!

It’s a low-power port. I am disappointed.
