Yay.
Last night I took a Southwest flight from Houston > Austin and then Austin > Phoenix > Seattle and had a conversation with Norman and Belinda who were going to Seattle to visit their two grandkids who is with the kid’s mom. They hadn’t seen them in about a year so they were excited. They are from Lubbock and are at least semi-retired. Norman and I had security in common. IT Security for me, and he did prison security. He says he’s done with security. :-) I guess I might be to after 30 years.
In Seattle I got on excellent Seattle mass transit in the form of a lightrail which took me through the mild 65 ° F.
Walking from Westlake to the City Hostel Seattle at 2nd and Battery. It’s an art hostel, check out some of the cool art on their site! Amazing soups a few doors down.

This morning it was still about 65 °. I went for a glorious 6 mile run. In the process I found REI, Whole Foods, and some other places. Had a great conversation with one of the owners of the hostel, Lee, about Vibrams and barefoot running. He might get some and get back into it. I hope he does!
Off to have breakfast at this cool vegan place called BAng Bang
