And another photo from Winthrop. We always like to check out the bookstores wherever we go.
Here we are in Winthrop on the Eastern edge of the Northern Cascades just a little over two week since returning from Japan. I need to write some entries about that trip before too long!
I just checked some of my old notes and I see that I had a blood test back in 2016 that showed antibodies for measles and mumps. Good to know that I have immunity after being exposed sometime as a child in the late ’40s or ’50s.
As usual low tides are always good for patterns.
My teeth cleaning appointment at the dentist yesterday could have turned out better, although it’s probably for the best. Today I was back getting a temporary crown with the permanent coming in a few days.
Beach reflections at low tide here on a sunny Edmonds afternoon.
A protest of a few hundred people happened in Edmonds yesterday. A lot of this sort of thing happening around the country at the moment.

And more color appearing on the landscape.
I’m finally getting to see some hints of spring around here. Walking along the Edmonds shoreline yesterday I came across these.

Downtown Edmonds on a wintry day.
My wife and I were all prepared to see the Oscar nominated animated shorts at our local cinema yesterday and were surprised to find out we were at the nominated short documentaries! Still interesting but perhaps not as much fun.
Another excellent entry by Rebecca Soling today.
I’m starting to reread (actually listen to this time) Robert B. Parker’s Spenser novels.
I’ve been enthusiastically reading Rebecca Solnit’s Facebook entries over the last week or so and now I see an entry where she announces that she’s finally leaving that platform and has a new location for her essays. Well, actually she made this announcement on February 2nd, but the FB algorithm just surfaced it today in my feed! Check out the following.
More snow for Seattle but not too much.
This is an excellent article by Timothy Snyder and contains some information on how to resist what Musk and his assistants are attempting.
Down at the shoreline in Edmonds on a very cold day.
Keith Olbermann actually had two special podcast bulletins today concerning Trump’s response to the airliner and helicopter accident. It’s a great listen.
Ways for the Democrats to be fighting back.
