Portland resident here. Can confirm, city is not on fire. ICE building occupies less than 1 block and is miles from downtown. Today sunny, 70’s, blue sky. OCT 05, 2025

Hmm. Lots of folks coughing here at the Almaty Kazakstan airport. Glad to be masking. CO2 @ high of 1071 … not too bad, but much worse than PDX SFO FRA … etc

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a dual-antibody treatment that remains effective against ALL SARS-CoV-2 variants by targeting a less-mutable part of the virus. This breakthrough could lead to longer-lasting therapies that OUTPACE viral evolution. 🧪🧵⬇️

And it begins. Received this notification today. Who's paying for the impact of 47's #Tariffs? Note: there is no 100% USA made consumer made HVAC system. #Trumptarriffs

Who will blink first? The Siberian Husky challenge. Umei sometimes will stare at me for literally an hour - if you’ve been a husky owner, you know …

Maybe Google should update Maps #GulfofMexico #GulfofAmerica #GoogleMaps

#GulfOfMexico - thank you Apple Maps (so far). #GulfOfAmerica: Eff you Google #’meriKKKa

For those interested and #COVID interested, here’s the PPM CO2 on a 2H flight from PDX to ONT. Real red during boarding, not great during flight and betting better once close to landing. This is one reason I wear a kf95/n95 on planes … lots of lovely wet coughs on this trip. Yay.

For anyone wondering or cares, air quality on an airplane is not great. CO2 monitor reading on Alaska Airline, domestic at boarding. PPM CO2 Doesn’t get “cleaner” once in flight either (those HEPA better be as good as they claim). Mask in a N95/KF94 if you wanna minimize risks.

Question: the balance point between, 1.5 million USD for 3 songs in front of someone you hate, or stand fast on moral grounds? As someone with a challenged business, I’d have to really consider it. Currently? Would choose to not perform.

This is me in a nutshell:

Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup - got a recipe? I have thoughts / ideas … trying to recreate the perfect bowl I was blessed to enjoy during my recent trip to Taiwan a week ago.

Breaking news!

Food. For those of you that have had legitimate Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup, you know … trying to replicate a perfect bowl I recently had at FuHong in Ximenting: talk to me in 2 hours

Why is hate easier than love?

That time you’re happy that Umei the Husky is besties with neighbor dog Meryl as we vacation in Japan & Taiwan & Umei enjoys a multi day sleepover. Our last 2 dogs each were moral enemies. Grateful. Happy New Year all.

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate - may we move the Way of peace in this ever maddening world

The World needs more of how this place makes my heart feel

Love me that the local hair salon I take my daughter to, all the stylists are rocking respirators (as am I). CO2 in here 902ppm.

Lame that I’m still in the “mourning” phase? Can’t seem to get out of it. Still so disappointed that a majority weren’t able to rise to the occasion, second time, and elected such an obviously horrible person? Really are horrible people out there. All I can do is post pics of my beloved Husky.

Every once in a while Umei the husky mellows out

If 45 goes through with his promised tariffs, how much will it affect your business? As a small business owner importing guitars from China, it’s likely gonna be a disaster for me … sigh.

Can a Husky learn “Place?” Indeed it can be done.

As an old guy with a martial arts background, I was really hoping Tyson would win.

For the #covidcautious #covidaware folk in the community, liking this starter pack. Thanks @chantzy.bsky.social 4 @1goodtern.bsky.social

Siberian Huskies don’t always tear up the nest

Liking how my follows here on bsky are real individuals whereas on hell site the large majority are sex bots that seem to find me attractive and need to be blocked daily. Feed is more to my liking too

Hmm, lots of cats here on Blue, where dem Huskies?!?

Oh, and also built hand made guitars in USA, ran my guitar factory in Beijing area, and now import my own brand “Walden” from China (long story but basically trying to merge hand made and affordable for the common folk). So if you ever have any questions regarding acoustic guitars, I’m your guy.

1st post. Migrating over here from that hellhole. Looking to follow the wise, the truth tellers, the thinkers and the non toxic. I’m progressive, son of immigrants, living in PDX and hoping for a better world for my 2 daughters.

As bad as I feel at the moment, I’m also thinking about how President Carter is doing at the moment

Boarding (USA) b4 closing doors… n95 masked. Hope no one on the plane is sick #CovidIsAirborne #CovidIsNotOver #covid

Don’t know if I should be inspired or scared. Perhaps a little bit of both. The future is inevitable. May humans manage it responsibility: youtu.be/29ECwExc-_M?si…

With so much beauty in this World (Music, Voice, Song), why is there so much horribleness in our Humanity?

GuiZhou, China - most folks not caring about COVID. We’re amongst the only ones masking @ airport even tho’ in the past 2 wks here we’ve known several associates now sick after a music convention. Sigh. #covidcautious #COVIDisAirborne #CovidIsNotOver

At the lounge here, PDX Airport, air quality quite good, tons of people around coughing, always think of the smoking analogy, outdoors, if all those coughing were smoking, I’d still not enjoy the smell of their cigarettes! keeping my N95 on #CovidIsAirborne #novid #covidcautious

Things that are important to life. Allowing your children to pursue, discover, and develop their own reality.

If you’re #burningman OG, would you still go? After #Drowingman 2023, Ranger Goatboy is considering a return in ‘24 … perhaps much of what has become bad will not return?

That time your flying in China on your way to visit your 77yo Uncle & Aunt

These days, like my water, I like my air filtered

“Be Excellent to Each Other” - this is the Way

That time you realize that feeling in your heart, 1/2 way between fulness and ache … is Love

Time marches ever onward and our time on this Earth is limited. Make the most of it.
