What a day! I finished a 25 hour hike this morning, starting off with clouds and freezing winds, then cam back to town, put some finishing touches on a parade float, then rehearsed for two hours for the parade tomorrow!

No kings protest in Port Townsend was great!

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Fuck the cops. Fuck ICE. And if you have a problem with any of these statements fuck you too. This country was built by immigrants. This country is still running because if immigrants. And if you do not stand for them now, you never will.

Pressure washing can be so gratifying…

Great day at Folklife yesterday! Our show went great - the very small crowd quickly turned into hundreds of people cheering and dancing! Also, new hair!

The rhodies and azaleas are peaking at the WA state arboretum! So spectacular!

8647!

Yakima River Canyon

Spring is here!!

Who wants to join me in a walk across America for Democracy? It’s a big project but I hope it gets legs! Literally!

Robert Serna, an acting field office director for ICE removal operations, said something that stuck with me. "the lack of specific information about each individual actually highlights the risk they pose. It demonstrates that they are terrorists, with regard to whom we lack a complete profile."

Amazing day in the most beautiful place in the US! And I got paid for it! 😀

This building is still under construction, and first Hill in Seattle. I had to use a lot of filters and treatments to get these images visible. Otherwise, they are quite subtle but a really nice touch.

Fun gig today at eh World Rhythm Festival! Though the name invokes grandeur, it is a tiny event.

Gorgeous sunset over Pioneer Square!!

The White House has gone full tilt lawless dictator. Its disregard for the judicial branch. Its Orwellian double speak, lies, and hypocrisy. They are un-making the great things about America, and bolstering the horrible things.

Fun in the sun!

Ready for the New World Symphony!

Here is an improved portrait.

Amazing night at #MisfitCabaret !

Great hike today near Deception Pass!

Does this seem at all controversial now?

Spring is giving me hope

Happy St. Patrick’s day!

Cat nap

Great day on the Olympic Peninsula for work!

I did manage to get out to the Magic Flute - wow!!! Amazing Seattle Opera

Don update: graduation day at Swedish Orthopedic Institute! His walking is much improved and he is transferring to a nice skilled nursing facility. It’s been 27 days since surgery.

New hair

Out for a walk with my sister. Spring is on its way!!

Trump and Vance are traitors to democracy. They side with tyrants and war criminals. They should be treated as such.

This is a very shameful day for America. The people in the White House are dangerous bellicose lunatics. Also cruel, vain, dishonest.

You first.

I am convinced that neither Donald nor Elon have ever had sex that was either consensual or a transaction they had to pay for. I mean, nobody’s gonna fuck these guys for free.

Axis of Evil 2025: North Korea/Russia/USA

Fun on a rainy day in southwestern Washington.

There are some truly janky thrift stores in Seaview. Notice the built in porta potty.

Try it! Acronym alternate challenge: DOGE= Demagogues Overreaching & Grifting Everyone Try your hand at it!

Stand up, fight back!

While Trump “floods the zone,” we must stay focused.  NO to oligarchy, tax breaks for the rich and cuts to working class programs. NO to authoritarianism and unlimited power for one man. YES to growing the union movement and raising wages. YES to health care as a human right.

Witchhazel heralding the inklings of spring.
