One for the road. There was a minor panic as, after I went through security, I couldn't find my phone. Thankfully it was still in the bathroom when I checked again. WHEW.

I'm not always the best friend to my friends, even the close orbit ones. But I'm glad this is the kind of response I get when I do call on them.

Not gonna lie, I felt that way these last few days....

It's not often SNL makes me cackle, but this was GOLD.

Day Ten: I swear, one day, I'm going to find the right kind of hydroponics to grow a quality black diamond watermelon in Seattle.

Tis a dream I have.

Today's incoming thunderstorm. I knew it was coming, so I decided to take pics when I could of the developing clouds.

I miss a good storm. We don't get thunder boomers like this in the Pacific Northwest.

...look what they did to my boy... :(

My sister and I, and a good number of kids, grew up playing on this street.

Had a dinner guest join me for barbecue....

So. Um. Something just a little ways down from me got hit by lighting. I felt that in my toes.

There are a few things I don't miss about home....

Wind is picking up ahead of the storms. I have half a mind to drive out there and drive back under them....

Where I am now.

I miss cheap fast decent Mexican food, for sure. But I also miss cheap fast decent barbecue, too.

Bill Miller won't ever win any gourmet awards, but they're miles better than anything I can get in Seattle.

Also while I try not to do too much in public to stave off harassment while I'm here, I will go out to isolated parks for a picnic. I know my isolated parks. :)
