Tuesday

I just saw a tweet that bus service is coming back to my neighborhood!! When I first moved here, there were two buses that stopped on the corner a half block from my front door. Then they killed that bus stop but still had pretty good service 2.5 blocks up the street. Then the killed that service. Then a year ago, they brought two bus routes kind of back. You can catch one of two routes not far from here but neither of them have a return trip. Odd but true. But next week we will have a Rapid Line bus from a couple of blocks from here up to Ballard and beyond. Could be handy in snow. There's an LA Fitness with a nice pool right on that route.

Swim was ok. It was actually good. My right arm from the elbow to the shoulder is having some kind of weird issue. I think the swimming helped it a little.

I'm looking forward to the baseball game in Cuba which will be on the air here at 10:30 am. I need to make a trip to Grocery Outlet at some point - I'm out of lunch salads. And, of course, dolls and bears. Nothing special. Just my usual.

Seattle

Bernie, Joe Biden, Hillary, Chelsea and Bill have all been in and around Seattle this week. There's a man stuck in a tree downtown this morning. Twitter is 'sploading.

I drove an electric car for the first time this morning. Fun. It was a fancy damn car. I love my little Smart Car but it has no shocks at all. It can see a bump or a pothole and do a ferocious jerk. There's one particular uncomfortable stretch on a nearby street so I tried that this morning in a fancy car... Smooth as silk. Sigh.

I got a box of Banana Nut Cheerios at Grocery Outlet. I'd never seen them before. I had a tiny bowl of them after my lunch salad and they are pretty damn good. Probably they have been discontinued already.

I watched/listened to the first 5 innings of the Cuba game and might listen to more. The TV coverage sucked giant eggs. They ignored the baseball and just did really insipid interviews of everyone. After a reporter asked the pitcher at the end of a way too long interview 'So, tell me again, how amazed you are at being here?' ... I turned the sound to mute and listened to the radio broadcast which was actually covering the actual game.

I need to clean up the kitchen but I think I'll go make another doll first.
