Took the bus to a client visit in Seattle & walked back to the hotel, enabling me to stumble on a pocket park with a waterfall (Waterfall Garden Park, go figure). I adore it when I have a business trip in a city that is reasonably walkable & has good public transportation. So much easier to explore.

If you're frustrated Gulf Coast service is happening while the route you want isn't, remember Louisiana, Mississippi & Alabama + Mobile have provided operating funding.
I'll list those states again so it can sink in: LA, MS, AL. Brick red politically.
What's your state's excuse?

From Thursday: Amtrak announced the Mardi Gras service will start running twice daily between New Orleans, LA and Mobile, AL this summer. This finally restores passenger service to part of the route suspended nearly 20 years ago after Hurricane Katrina media.amtrak.com/2025/04/intr...

Today’s coffee shop work session allowed me to see:
A fashionista Whippet wearing a scarf.
A group of preschoolers enthusiastically walking/skipping home in the snow.
A chain of pedestrians working in harmony to “please hold that bus” for a lady struggling to get to the stop.
I love this city.

It appears that a hip new hotel design trend is a motion-sensor light switch in the bathroom and I cannot emphasize enough how much I DO NOT WANT THIS FEATURE at 2 a.m.
