Lloyd Center across the steet is also getting a farewell in August. It's closing for good.

Farewell, Type I.

Going by light rail.

@furlifenw.bsky.social WFS 57 is this June and it sounds like another fun one! Unfortunately, I have to skip this meet, but hope to be back for WFS 58. shutterwolf.net/blog/2026/04... #wfs57

It's going to be a warm and sunny day today!

A story to tell, if there's time.

My weekend begins.

The WSDOT Good-To-Go transponder is a hit or miss. Sometimes it catches the transponder, and sometimes it catches the plate. If captured by plate, it's an extra $0.25. Statement arrived today.

Just registered for Furlandia 2026.

My sneezing is out of control this morning.

On my weekend: automatically waking up at 3:30 a.m. and out the door at 4:00 a.m. Work day: Alarm clock sounds at 5:00 a.m. Smack the snooze button a few times.

I received a lengthy response letter from my representative about my letter. We have the majority of Congeress, Supreme Court, and the Executive Branch complicit in enabling Trump to do what ever the hell he wants with punity, and they all need to go.

Today was another day where Bluesky was having issues.

I am now Forbidden Wolf!

Forbidden!

Bluesky's on the fritz again. Service issue in one of their "reginos" [sic].

Starting on a clean slate, it's time to get back to posting again on my website. shutterwolf.net/blog/2026/04...

@realfollowers.bsky.social, what's my tally?

Sucked into a YouTube video on 10 "most terrifying" bridges in U.S. No. 10: Astoria-Megler Bridge. I stopped a few minutes in. It seems the research and writing was done by AI. It's also engagement bait.

PNSN's earthquake map for Nevada is looking like party confetti.

I wonder if the GSR Reno elevators went into seismic mode with that M 5.4 earthquake outside of Silver Springs, NV, moments ago?

Bye, Amazon Prime.

The summarize feature for documents and emails is the worst thing ever developed. I wonder how many things went wrong because one read the summary instead of the whole document. It's like one responding to a headline in a social media post than reading the whole article.

Birb!

Found a chicken-shaped lake.

On occasion, I will get connected to the Roberts signal in Canada from the Washington peninsula.

Across the strait is Canada.

"God Save Us All!"

Road trip to Honolulu?

Mama deer and fawn, and coyote.

A bald eagle came close to smacking my windshield while crossing the Astoria-Megler Bridge.

Morning fuel.

"The Simpsons" Montgomery Burns renamed Noah's Ark to:

I found out the thing that was happening in May, which was causing a conflict for me attending Furlandia, was cancelled. I'm going to try to attend Furlandia now.

I had Red Robin for dinner tonight. I had a Red Double deal tonight that cost less than a meal at Wendy's. That was including a 30% tip.

I bought a new corded vacuum cleaner tonight. I'm done with the cordless vacuum battery not holding a charge after 6 months. I've paid more on total cost for battery replacements than the new unit tonight.

Arc de Fraude, Gaspillage, et Abus

A little lightning show tonight!

Lightning just went around southeast Portland. Boo.

Artemis II splashed down safely while I was pursuing the first thunderstorm of the season on foot.

Bnuuy

I'm hearing thunder!

Looks like some sparky clouds to the southeast.

Right now would be a good time to be around Oakridge and Willamette Pass. 🌩️

Down goes the sun.

Rock Me Amadeus

I keep misreading "World Press Photo Contest" as "WordPress Photo Contest."

There's something calming about sitting in a parked car while its raining or stormy.

On an evening walk, I almost went down the rabbit hole.
