I tried to find a photo of Christopher Plummer riding a bike, and instead I found this photo of a guy named Chris who's a plumber, which is even better.

I want to let everyone know that @emlieb.bsky.social wrote an amazing book about the history of a highway in Baltimore that never got built. It's called "Road to Nowhere: How a Highway Map Wrecked Baltimore"

As a PSA, if you haven't returned your ballot yet, make sure to use a blue drop box, DON'T mail it. Postmarks are very possibly NOT going to be able to be made in time to make your vote count.

Here's where to find a ballot drop box: kingcounty.gov/en/dept/elec...
