vrijdag 31 mei 2024 Trump Sentencing Hearing Set for July 11th.

Trump's imprisonment!

Lola (the dog) was chasing Sally around the house. Her head went clonk as she dove under my bed. OUCH! 😿 She seems to be fine.

Visit to Village Books. Required when visiting Fairhaven. Walk down to the bay to look at the Alaska State Ferry.

Such a beautiful daaaay! People are walking up the South Bay Trail.

maandag 27 mei 2024 Amtrak: Tell us about your Amtrak experience. One thing for me... The King Street Station was crazy busy (as usual) for a Memorial Day weekend. A lot of people were escaping to Vancouver B.C. The information board said now Boarding, but no one was boarding because no train was there. People left to stand in line for nothing.

The pets and I watch the 2007 American sci-fi, fantasy and superhero film Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. Boo! Victor von Doom!

The headlines for HuffPost is huge for the news... tomorrow. Tomorrow? What To Expect As Trump's Criminal Trial Nears Its End.

Most people seem optimistic that Trump will be convicted. Not me!

After a couple drizzly days, the deck dries up. The suns shines. 🌞

Oh! Lola needs a break. She's quick when it's a little drizzly.

In Washington DC, it's cloudy and humid at 85°F. It's nice to see my Mariners playing live on the TV. Woo closing out away trip. Mitch Haniger at the plate...

My visit to Seattle was fun. Thanks to my ORCA pass, I got around easily. The view of Rainer Square Tower was amazing.

My iPhone was down to 22%. Down to SPL Downtown to re-charge it.

The King of Infinite Space? Intriguing title. Read just one chapter.

woensdag 22 mei 2024 OMG! I'm awake too early! What to do?

Turn on David Pakman. Of course Trump is falling asleep in court AGAIN. He's up at 3-4:00 in the morning whining and moaning on social media. He's gotta sleep sometime. WTA #331 to Cordata. Vote and shop fresh, local, organic and natural groceries... Community Food Co-op salad bar for brunch.

The air smells fresh and clean. In my wanderings... This interesting sticker says a lot: Bark if you're a Democrat 😁

Down to the Community Food Co-op for breakfast. The cafeteria is quiet. Where is everyone? Organic drawings by the kids of Bellingham. Colorful stuff displaying, seemingly, a fondness for rain.

Mark your calendars for the Fairhaven Festival... Bellingham's Biggest Street Fair! Lots of Food Vendors! Yum yum 😋

Over to Cresswell Boggs to look for postcards. The Salish designs 👈 are cool!  Check that link for more info on their art work.

Wish me luck with the Washington State Lotto. Let it please be me! OMG! The Mega is worth $421 million.

Beryl in the morning. This cat is satisfied with getting two pets from me. That's it. He's pretty indepentent, but he likes to accompany me on the couch to watch TV. See how well he blends with the couch.

Goodbye, planet Earth. Hello, endless possibilities. The best toys in Michael's mancave. LEGO: Tales of the Space Age. Only 688 pieces.

Endless possibilities of exploring B'ham. Down to WTA get an Umo pass.

Eventually, Sally settles down to watch MST3K: Crash of the Moons.

The Pacific Northwest... the land of eternal Spring. The bees are going nuts on these rhododendrons. Hike through the woods near Sweetbay.

It's cool that my bathroom has Mr. Ducks. Nice collection of shampoos.
