Got out for another ferry trip this weekend! This time, rode with the family and the puppy over to Bremerton, north along the peninsula, and then back on the ferry from Kingston to Edmonds.

The view from the upper deck of a ferry. In the distance is a cargo ship loaded with colorful containers. In the foreground on the lower deck a person watches the ship. They are wearing a green sweatshirt with the Grateful Dead split skull logo on the back.

I got out yesterday for a ferry ride across the sound to Bainbridge Island. On the return trip this container ship crossed directly ahead of us. I was happy with the lineup of the person watching the boat below me, with the boat further off. (And their sweatshirt lets me call this photo Freightful Dead.)

My first trip of Indie Bookstore Day yielded a couple of books, a cookie and a cappuccino at Third Place. I’d say it’s a success! I’ll be trying to hit up all the indie shops in town over the next week to complete my passport book.

The sign of a shop on a brick wall above the door. It reads ‘Third Place Books’ and announces Indie Bookstore Day.

This sea of people at Seattle’s Hands-Off rally yesterday was an energizing affirmation. Even after moving much closer to the front, I could still barely hear anything coming from the stage, but the energy and happiness of the crowd — to unify and to recognize in one another the hope we require — was just what I needed.

Monochrome photo in high contrast, of a sea of people attending a rally. In the foreground, a protest sign is visible, reading ‘we won’t be divided: defend trans rights’. In the background, rows and rows of people and protest signs lead all the way to the far side of a long grassy circle. Behind them are buildings, a steeply climbing hill of houses and tall antennae, and a clear spring.
