Down Under Digital

The Fall foliage map always intrigues me especially since my wife and I have a small house in Northern New Hampshire where we’ve spent each Fall until this year. We are now, of course, West Coast dwellers and we’ve seen some colors in this area of late. This photo from today is at Roche Harbor.

The excellent things about Micro.blog is that it is increasingly keeping me away from Facebook. The service is definitely becoming more alluring as I accumulate more Micro.blog friends.

A view from our window this Saturday morning.

We are actually here at Roche Harbor on San Juan Island for an event wedding. And the bride and groom couldn’t have asked for better weather.

#

I have just discovered that Drafts has an action allowing me to write there and post directly to Micro.blog.

Cattle Point Lighthouse on San Juan Island.

#

The Captain of our ferry out of Anacortes today announced the siting of two “killer whales” (orcas) on our starboard side. The ferry slowed down and we got a good look at these two in their natural environment although it was too brief a view.

#

We arrived in Roche Harbor on San Juan Island for a couple of days. The air here is clear which is a relief from the smoke that has been encompassing Seattle recently.

#

The air in and around Seattle continues to be smoky. We have enjoyed this unseasonably dry weather but the downside is the lack a good breeze to clear out the smoke.

A good piece here from Dave Winer. Interestingly I’ve been following Winer’s blogging for well over 20 years and have only recently discovered Microblog.

#

Back at the Edmonds Condo and this time we’ve moved in for good. Of course, all of our Atlanta possessions have yet to arrive so we kind of feel like we are camping out.

#

Getting ready to move into our Condo from this AirBnB. We are presently in Ballard, WA and are moving a few miles north to Edmonds.

#

The T-Mobile Home internet device arrived and has been working well, although I’m a little concerned about speeds for uploading photos to my Flickr account. More on that later.

#

I am waiting for the delivery of a T-Mobile Home Internet 5G device. It could be arriving anytime between today and Monday.

#

Seattle Sailing was a fun excursion yesterday and we were happy that there was a breeze. It cleared away the smoke over the Seattle area and also allowed the boat to really sail. A few weeks ago friends did the same excursion but lack of wind meant it was all under motor.

#

Just because I liked this. In the street close to our Ballard AirBnB.

#

The drive across country from Atlanta to Seattle took place without any drama although we did get a puncture. Luckily that happened just after we arrived in a Denver and I was able to have the tire patched.

#

We have moved to Seattle and are about to move into a new Condominium. I’m amazed at how much we’ve been able to get done in last month.

#

I haven’t been following the news quite as closely as I usually do thanks to all of our moving plans keeping me busy.

#

We ate at Cafe Lilly in Decatur last night. Our Realtor took us there for a penultimate meal in the city.

#

I’m happy to report my eye pressure remains at an acceptably low level when I had it tested on Monday at the Ophthamologist.

#

We finally closed on the house this morning. It’s been an exhausting few weeks getting everything cleaned out and shipped to Seattle. Tomorrow we start our cross country drive to a Pacific North West.

#

And so we have finished the first season of The Sandman and I think we are both looking forward to seeing where this show is headed. I just read that Season 2 filming has been completed.
