I hope to post linked Flickr photos here such as what follows. This is Ruby Beach on the Olympic Peninsula coast.

I’ve just rescued 22-year-old regular paper album photos from Spain that I need to digitize and put on my Flickr album that I’d set up with some previously digitized pictures from the same trip.

We are back from Restore but as usual I forgot to take a photo. I’m generally taking photos to document where we’ve been and when etc.

I started listening to a recent Ezra Klein podcast with Thomas Piketty but I was missing a lot of the conversation because of that strong French accent of Piketty’s.

Pizza on a recent cold Friday evening in Seattle. Somewhere between Fremont and Ballard.

Our local hardware store is really trying hard to compete with the Walmart across the street.

I setup an RSS feed for this new microblog and it is now showing up on my Reeder software.

I’ve just finished a video appointment with a Kaiser Permanente optometrist who gave me some advice about my itchy right eye. In particular I am curious to learn that KP actually has a doctor who is a specialist in eye lid issues.

I hope that our house will become quite spotless after we choose a recommended company for an overdue deep cleaning.

A better vaccine for Covid on the way? It does look encouraging thanks to ongoing research by this company.

I just got credit for more books at Eagle Eye bookstore. I seem to have a knack for having them take my books.

This article describes a risk that not too many of us are really thinking about except that it can be a matter of life and death occasionally

We are presently working our way through episodes of “Veep”. Over the last few months before we finally turn off the TV after two or three hours of streaming, we’ve been viewing a short comedy series. We’ve gone through “The Office”, “Community”, “Parks & Recreation”, “Seinfeld”, “Curb Your Enthusiasm”, etc, etc and now we’re working our way through “Veep”

Some rather stormy weather coming through the area at the moment. Thankfully it’s nothing too serious at least that’s what Radarscope shows me.

Washington Post has a story about Kate Bush getting a tremendous boost from Season 4 of Strange Things. Check out the link.

This site looks like containing a mountain of useful information for new users of micro.blog. And in particularly this book should provide hours of bedtime reading.

I didn’t actually get MarsEdit configured automatically to enter text for Micro.blog. In fact I had to use information in this website to successfully configure MarsEdit to properly connect to the blogging service. It was just a bit frustrating but thankfully google was there to help!

One of the advantages of using MarsEdit is the ability to update entries after they’ve been posted. Pretty fancy. :)

Continuing on the same theme of trying out different writing environments for blogging I’m not over to Ulysses for this particular Micro.blog entry. Of course I can easily send the entry to multiple blogging services.

We’ve been wondering how we can get rid of certain household items that have been filling up our garage for some time. A friend recently told us about the “Center for Hard to Recycle Materials” or CHARM for short. This is just the destination we need for a bunch or items such as compact fluorescent light bulbs, old paint, insecticides, miscellaneous electronics, etc and I’m about to make a second visit.

We are going to watch the final Stranger Things episode for the first batch of these shows released. I can’t wait to see the final ones which are apparently due for release next month.

Now that I’m getting slightly more comfortable in this environment I’m creating an entry using the MacOS application. It’s pretty bare-boned but I suppose it will do the trick.

I’m going to be boring for a while as I check out the various ways of entering text into my new microblog.

My cleanup continues. We are moving from Atlanta to Seattle. I’m sure I’ll be writing a lot about this the coming days.

Just started the 10 day evaluation but I have to say the setup is a little bit confusing.
