The Hyatt breakfast buffet at Furlandia is disappointing. Denny's across the street might be a better option. Plus I could complete the con experience by ending up at Denny's!

The con hasn't even started, and Furlandia already has a completely different vibe than previous years due to the new downtown location. It's a good change!

That was the first time I'd ridden an intercity train in the PNW since 1970. Gotta say I'm a fan!

On the train to Furlandia!

Black squirrel spotted at a highway rest stop. I wonder how rare they are.

The other night I slept curled up in a human-size dog bed while wearing a kigu. It was a good weekend. ^^

I love business name puns. I just saw a weed store called Dank of America.

Proper attire for the evening's festivities.

Wait...I have muscles? When did that happen?

This one is a couple of years old, but nothing has changed since then.

Cons planned for 2026: Nordic FuzzCon (February) Furlandia (May) Biggest Little Fur Con (October)

I just noticed something about the neighborhood where I'm staying in San Francisco: no fast food. The only non-local chain present is Starbucks, and there are notably few of them.

I swear, gates and baggage carousel assignments at SEA are like spinning the wheel of fortune: where it stops, nobody knows.

The ferry slowed down to let a couple of orcas pass. That was the first time I'd ever seen an orca in the wild.

A power of 10 to three decimal places. This gives me more satisfaction than it should.

Watching a live performance of "25 or 6 to 4." The guitar needs a cigarette after that solo!

Wait...there's a Shari's still open??

Not a bad place to be at work today.

Watching Californians driving in rain is almost as amusing as watching Seattleites driving in snow. Almost.

Hmm...what to do in the Bay Area this weekend? I haven't thought that far ahead, lol.

I think I finally figured out why heavy traffic in California feels different than in the PNW. It's more European: fast and dense, but orderly.

Caltrain shows what Sounder could be if it ran frequently all day and were therefore useful.

I found myself in San Francisco today. Decisions were made.

Wait... gas costs less in San Francisco than it does in Seattle? How is that possible??

Obligatory tourist photo.

"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?" #badjokefriday

"Mommy, Mommy, what's an Oedipus complex?" "Shut up and kiss me." #badjokefriday

I thought opening a door for a lady was good manners, but she just screamed and flew out of the plane. #badjokefriday

How does a mouse feel after it takes a shower? Squeaky clean. #badjokefriday

See bulge. Post bulge.

This is a first in 30 years in the consulting business: traveling to a job site by public transit.

What do you call a sad cup of coffee? Depresso. #badjokefriday

Where was King David’s temple located? Beside his ear. #badjokefriday

I figured I'd do one of these. Not all the states I've lived in are shades of green.

My girlfriend asked me if I smoke after sex. I said I haven’t looked. #badjokefriday

What’s the difference between a Greyhound terminal and a lobster with boobs? One is a crusty bus station and the other is a busty crustacean. #badjokefriday

Oh yeah? Same to you, buddy!

My grandfather lost his tongue during the war. He never talks about it. #badjokefriday

Furthest I've been N: Utqiagvik, Alaska, USA E: Helsinki, Finland S: Bendigo, Victoria, Australia W: Adelaide, South Australia, Australia

If someone burns to death, do they get a discount at the crematorium? #badjokefriday

Sex is like air. It only matters if you aren’t getting any. #badjokefriday

I grilled a chicken for an hour. She still wouldn’t tell me why she crossed the road. #badjokefriday

Doc cleared me for normal activity and diet. I've had the zoomies since the appointment earlier today!

So far the most annoying thing about recovery from surgery is the forced inactivity. I suppose I should consider myself lucky in that regard.

A dung beetle walks into a bar and asks the bartender, “Excuse me, is this stool taken?” #badjokefriday

Chompers required maintenance. Back home now after an implant. I'm really glad I got a new comfy couch a little while ago!

The worst pub I’ve ever been in was called The Fiddle. It was a vile inn. #badjokefriday

My doctor said that I might die because I accidentally consumed clay. I'm shitting bricks to be honest. #badjokefriday

I walked into a general store. I couldn't find anything specific. #badjokefriday

For the record, this is not duct tape. It's Gorilla Tape. We are a high class furry trash household.
