It’s important to remember when I share opinions and thoughts on politics and the military, it is with the expertise of a trombone player in the National Guard. And I read a book by Doris Kearns Goodwin.

Being a mariners fan is so stressful!

How do I get paid? And I thought creating expense reports for work was tedious and opaque!

The amount of people treating Trump like he had a chance of winning a Nobel Peace Prize is exasperating. It would be like awarding a broken clock for being correct twice daily and within 12 hours the rest of the time.

Reading that made me feel slightly less crazy. Campaigning for a Nobel Prize should be automatically disqualifying.

I’m no fan of AI slop, but I might watch a machine generated video of the Lee Greenwood halftime show.

Declaring insurrection like Michael Scott declaring bankruptcy. Perfect!

That’s exactly what the administration wants to happen.

Go Mariners!

A lot of words to say, “because I’m a racist prick.”

Mike Johnson isn't happy that Bad Bunny is performing at the Super Bowl: It sounds like he's not someone who appeals to a broader audience. There's so many eyes on it. A lot of young, impressionable children. In my view, you would have Lee Greenwood or role models doing that. Not somebody like this.

Go Mariners!

Crisp, clear Fall morning commute.

Happy Mariners Monday to all who celebrate. (Photo from 2012. I’m the good looking one.)

This is unacceptable language from the Commander in Chief. Navy leadership should demand better from the speaker and the audience.

Trump to the Navy: "We have to take care of this little gnat that's on our shoulder called the Democrats."

Dan Ray @danray05.bsky.social · 5d

Same here. What an amazing speaker!

Can we just have this choir sing at every session of every #generalconference?

Dan Ray @danray05.bsky.social · 7d

What’s not clear about it?

Dan Ray @danray05.bsky.social · 7d

Finishing my #weekwithoutdriving taking the bus to work. When the weather is nice I like to get off a couple stops early so I can walk across the bridge by the Dell and Contemplative Commons.

Morning commute finally feeling like Fall

Dan Ray @danray05.bsky.social · 9d

I’m glad we have buses, but the current inefficiencies make it hard to rely on.
