Up to 11 subscribers on my urbanist blog! Probably seems lame, but building readership on niche and nerdy topics has proven difficult. I’m just gonna keep writing for myself and if someone else enjoys it, great. I’ve got some drafts in the queue.
Bad parenting award 👍: let my 6-year-old watch a few minutes of Jaws because he was begging me because it’s rated PG. Then came the gore, and I shut it off. He got mad because he just thought it was boring. Meanwhile, Harry Potter is PG-13. The movie ratings system is… something else.

Super excited to check out Ghost 6.0. Ghost 6.0
Heavy cooler hack with a wheeled storage tote.
Had to pull over for this one. Battle Ground, WA.
Early bird, etc.
Anyone ever had a seismic retrofit done on their home? If so, can we chat?
When is Ghost 6.0 being released?
A beloved brand that’s been around for decades, I only just decided to see if it’s really worth the price. Pretty good! Maybe my new hide-it-from-the-kids, once-in-awhile sweet treat.
One of the more annoying things about life in Oregon is that you can’t buy liquor at the grocery store. Many liquor stores close at 8 p.m., and some as early as 5 p.m., even on weekends. I don’t drink a lot, but it’s frustrating having to make a special trip or running out of something after hours.
Just called a coworker on the phone instead of first checking to see if they were available on Teams or sending an email. Even though I still had to leave them a voicemail, it felt more human. I wonder if they will return my call or if they’ll email me. We could be phonepals.
My microwave finally got so upset with me for eating veggie bacon that it destroyed a plate.
I was picnicking with my daughter at Pittock Mansion when we suddenly found ourselves on the set of a movie. I managed to snap a few photos and liked this one the most.

I am always so shocked when a person on the other end of a professional video call doesn’t have their background blurred and their bedroom is spotless. While we try to keep a pretty clean house, having two little kids always ensures a certain level of household chaos.
This is absolutely true. I have a 3,000 gallon rain cistern that fills up in winter here in the PNW. It’s enough to water ONE 8x4 raised bed via drip irrigation over the summer. This amount of food is barely supplemental to our dietary needs. The only real benefits are educational.
