Saturday thoughts

Had a day to myself, thus many errands were run. One key one: adjusting my new glasses. Yes, I’ve crossed a key benchmark of life: progressive lens. Aka: bifocals. My first round of these and need just a bit of a tweak. Don, and his colleagues at Edmonds Vision Center have always taken exemplary care of me. This time, no exception. Plus, Don is a fellow Android fan, and he recommended a few apps which I’m looking forwards to trying out:

Chrome Desktop
Pushbellet

These look like great productivity tools. Should be fun.

Bees, Bees and Freeway Fun

Rolled semi spills load of bees at I-5 and I-405 interchange

Well, this made for some real fun for me this morning. Fortunately, I have tools to notify me when traffic’s getting ugly and was able to leave early to compensate. Thus I was expecting “issues”. So, as I crossed I5 via the 196th street overpass on my way to the northbound onramp, my lord, the backup was immense!

Bee that as it may (sorry for the pun, I just had to…), looking at the pictures, I feel sad for the bees. With bee populations are declining, seeing the massive bee kill was deeply disheartening. However, there clearly are dedicated professionals on site making sure the impact upon our buzzing friends is minimal. For that, I’m thankful.

Within The Grass

Cautious, quick motion
Winged gods demand offerings 
Terror in my grass.
