Main lesson from driving Seattle to Rochester MN in December - Montanans should be single issue voters on plowing.
Drove at 40mph for six hours over thick ice. The MINUTE I go over the Wyoming boarder - BOOM PLOW.
And it's not like WY is a blue state that loves public works.

Just booked a corporate dinner at Marlaina's in Burien - great restaurant and the owner personally called to work out the menu.
After booking I found this on their website.
Some small businesses really deserve your money. Glad I went with this one!

I've seen quite a few articles about declining birth rates and his birth rates are declining even in very family friendly countries lately.
I think the answer is simply "people are happier with fewer kids".
Not sure if society can accept that.

The most important restaurants to me are those that combine craft cocktails with food from anywhere in Asia.
Harder to find than you would expect since it's intrinsically fusion. But I love it.

I quite like Bad Bunny even though I don't understand any Spanish and I'm very very confused by how this is hard for people.
Like, I'd probably like his music even more if I did understand Spanish. But its good - anyone can tell.

There's really nowhere better to work than a well funded startup finding traction in a solid market other than developers.
"Tier 1" big name tech is frankly exhausting to work for. "Tier 2" is where it's at.

Theres very weird tension to being a progressive working in defense. I spend lots of time wondering "Is this contract in the best interests of America at this tumultuous time?🤔"
And then the engineer in me is like "wait... Tell me more about how it goes BOOM."

We stayed at the Arizona Biltmore a couple months ago and now I can't book a hotel to save my life because they are all not the Arizona Biltmore.
This is like learning what first class airfare is like but more expensive.
