Hype for the Future 135L: National Forests in the State of Washington

While stopping for a pedestrian in the crosswalk of a #stroad in our town in #rural #westernwashington, we got rear-ended.

The damage is enough that #insurance is going to total the car. It's already listed (by doing a VIN search) as totaled.

I am super sad. I know it's an old car - 2007 - & not valuable (200k miles). But it's in great shape, reliable, and shouldn't have to be scrapped. Ecologically, why does it have to be this way? Ughhhhhhhh

A Blessed Solstice to All!

Losing power for two days during the recent floods here in Western Washington was made less dismal by solar lights, good conversation, and good company, with a wood stove keeping us warm.

May we all stay warm, dry, and in loving kindness tonight!

Not sure if it's evident here, but the etching on the cobalt blue mug is of the Space Needle. 💙

I've noticed recently that literally every time I look up the AQI, every number is different and there's not too much nuance in the airnow.gov map nowadays.

That being said, for those in Western Washington, I've noticed puget sound clean air agency's map is a lot more granular
