Fellow Waltheads, where you at?

And thanks as well to those who suggested the Interurban Trail for a run. Gorgeous.

Bellingham! Thank you so much for coming out to see me, especially this family who made these shirts for the Seattle WW show I had to miss because of COVID. They drove up for a second chance.

I’m such a big fan of Glen’s, for this and many other reasons (#1: “The Snapture”)

Thank you…. I appreciate the correction.

That’s it. That’s all. She never claimed Cherokee ancestry to get a job or a grant or in any official document or bio. Some recipes for a cookbook put out by a small museum. And 14 years later these guys are still snickering about it.

This particular slur/insult/trope makes me nuts. In 2012 Warren was running against incumbent GOP Senator Scott Brown, who has won a special election for Ted Kennedy’s seat in 2010 in the Obamacare backlash (also bad Dem candidate and being a former nude model.)

But did you win?

No, but thank you for the pointer!

Not right now… issue is age. That is, I’m too old and the kids are too young.

Thank you for coming out!

Thank you! Are you out there or nearby?

Is this a more subtle “play Freebird” joke?

Friends, I’ve got like six free hours in Bellingham WA over today and tomorrow. Where should I run? Eat? What should I see? And if you’re coming to see me tonight at the Mt Baker Theater… what would you Iike to hear? (I have a talk! I just like to pander.)

Me to Derek:

Kavanaugh’s majority opinion clearly establishes how the prosecutor continually and illegally excluded Black people from juries so he could put Flowers to death. Thomas’s dissent starts with the brutality of the crimes that Flowers was accused of, as if somehow that makes it okay.
