A dog and his shark.
I didn't let him take it on a walk.

A golden dog flopped on top of a shark stuffy that is as big as he is.

I knew we could do it.

I feel like we need to start a "dial a Portlander" account.

"What's the worst thing happening in your neighborhood?"

Guarantee you'll get things like:
"I still have too many tomatoes"
"It's unclear which pumpkin patch we're going to"
"I can't decide which IPA I want".

Celebrating the rain with caramelized carrot soup and grilled mozzarella sandwiches.

It looks fancy, the only fancy thing is that you put the carrots in a pressure cooker.

God, I forgot that place existed. It looks as immortal as ever.

There are just some boats that reward consistency and punish inconsistency and you can just... tell when you push away from the dock.
"Oh, this is one of those. I see."

I mean, I'm as good as any other random crew person who got into tech on this one 🥰

It's like this magical ability to be able to correct for errors in consistency between how the boat is moving and how power is applied.
It's a talent and it can't be taught.

I won't tell anyone if I win the lottery, but there will be signs.

You should read this essay. This quote. This quote.

People only complain about the turkey being dry when the company is terrible. There is never enough gravy to make regret feel like anything but your soul leaving your body.

ME: Now Mom, just remember, there's a lot of disinformation and AI in your social feed and your friends' Facebook.
MOM: I know! My friend sent me this crazy post where someone used AI to make an image of a giant frog fighting Army troops!
ME: ... okay, no, that one's ... goddamit, Portland.

Introducing new people to the concept of backlog grooming is fun.

Yes, even explaining 'it's a technical term' still sounds like we're going to round up the zoo and brush them, and it's funny what terms tech adopted that are just *ours*.

the gates make themselves sometimes.

Eh, probably fine. You have to let them add their own descriptive modifiers to it, but fine.

I let him make dinner and he threatened to put olive oil in the pasta water.
I sighed heavily and went back to email.
