Sunny Afternoon

April 25, 2018

Returning from Tacoma via public transit I contacted Carl to meet me at the UW light rail station so we could walk home together.

We ended up meeting at the Drumheller Fountain on campus.

Note Mt. Rainier in the background.

And cherry blossoms.

The walk was lovely, with a stop at Trader Joe’s for tortillas. It has been a long time since we were home when it was warm enough to enjoy a beer on the back deck. And it was warm, so we did. Carl has begun concocting the tacos and bringing out tomatoes, lettuce and cheese for me to prep.

Lovely evening.

Conference Day

April 25, 2018

We paused work’s break neck pace today to attend one day of a water utility conference. As a speaker no less. Of course I only spoke for about 10 minutes of our 30 minute slot. [Earthquake resiliency planning] It almost felt like playing hooky. And for my effort I received a parting gift, and got to attend several other talks.

The most interesting find though, was bathroom art! In the stall.

I don’t know that I have ever used a camera in a public restroom before.

I bused down to Tacoma, and am busing back. Nice day, so I plan to walk the last few miles.
