In celebration of a recent birthday, and as today is our traditional weekly shopping day, I decided to acquire one of Porsche’s more exotic models in the 911 lineup. Sort of a bucket list kind of thing. (Mine, however, was not a new one, but a couple of generations back, representing the 996 series.)

Ivi, Today (Take Two)
Due a software quirk/bug (maybe) or a personal brain-lapse (much more likely), the link from the single-frame capture version to the full animated Ivi dance graphic version from yesterday failed to function. Here we try again, from scratch, so try clicking through on this for the intended effect (that is, click on this image, then when the Instagram version appears, click the “play” button in the middle of its image):
Ivi, Today
Today we had a Google Hangouts session with Ivi …

And we discovered this Instagram posting a bit earlier. (This is a just a single-frame capture; to see the animated action click on the same image here: https://www.instagram.com/p/BTrvakfBvSp/?hl=en)

And, speaking of Velouria, we find that it made The Evergrey‘s list of Seattle’s 23 Most Awesome Small Businesses.
rDay Seven-Hundred-Seventy-Three
Dropping in to 103 today and walking the swamp.
rDay Seven-Hundred-Seventy-Two
Poking around in the yard, then the storm comes up (and Charlie heads for the basement).
rDay Seven-Hundred-Seventy-One
Hilgard, along the Grande Ronde River …
rDay Seven-Hundred-Seventy: Swift, Slightly
Another swift season (we tried in September, as you may recall). So we bundle everybody, Charles included, in the P’Finder and head downtown to the vicinity of the Foley Building. Ensconced in the alley behind the Foley, conditions seemed perfect, even allowing a composition with the moon above. But as darkness fell, only a handful of birds appeared (and, of course, the relative position of the moon changed, and the lack of light didn’t play well with handheld photography). Back home by 9pm or so.
