The number of small wineries in the Woodinville area is quite amazing.

So not only did I finish the Greater Northshore Bike Connector Map to connect the Seattle and Eastside maps, I decided I would ALSO make a MEGAMAP of all three maps since King County stopped maintaining a map over 10 years ago which makes this the biggest maintained King County bike map since then.

Go fuck yourself asshole. You rancid incompetent petty prick. God pay me out so I can get the fuck out of this intellectually retarded shithole. Your fucking national pastime is following around little children. Then indoctrinating them

You're wrong, wrong asshole, you're wtong. Did you know you're a fucking pig and you're wrong. OMG did you know you're wrong. Did you know you're repulsive and wrong? You can't STFU and you're wrong?

How many idiots can one person be subjected to?

How many morons can a country breed?

There's your moral high ground and rule of law for the world to see. Touche.

You don't think YOU look evil to the world you short sighted imbeciles?

How much wasted time? Resources? Money would that amount to?

How many millions of times does it need to be said over a lifetime?

PS NO ONE wants you in their lives or invited you.

You truly are a shithole that just doesn't get CONSENT.

There isn't a man on the planet that can tell me I'm wrong! That's what it means to be a woman idiot.

Whatever moment humanity is in. It's of your own making. Don't blame immigrants, God women or children. Your incompetence, corruption, ego, greed, unending cowardice, lying and public denial are YOUR issues.

My experience of the last 10 years is very much the broken windows policy of crime. Don't give an inch.

An idiot, an idiot, a complete and utter moron could coalesce the data and connect the dots

The baggage is yours. It's a projection.

If I had to guess, I wouldn’t really know what we did in October.

A lot, apparently.

Of course Kimmer’s in the full throes of the current semester of her doctoral program. So, on top of her day job and the charting demanded by that day job, she’s also researching, writing, testing, collaborating in-class, and commiserating with fellow students in this fast-track program. 

The workload is insane… and Kimmer’s managing it on top of everything else.

For me, professionally, the month kicked off diving into and crafting the first cut of a large project about youth incarceration. A lot of footage covering different points of view, narratives, and circumstances. Definitely the biggest, one of the biggest, projects of the year. I had the first cut done about halfway through the month. 🙂

Linzy had a bit of a month this month… although nothing like what’s coming up November and December. Among her gigs in October, I'm thinking about one of the many wineries in Woodinville, this particular time at Efestē Wines where I ran into friends from a lifetime ago and we got to catch up.

And catch up.

And catch up.

Talking shop. Talking family and future with people who get it. You know?

Birds of a feather.

It was really really fun with Linzy providing the soundtrack.

Due to scheduling, our friends had to leave before Kimmer arrived. The timing was still good, though, ‘cause Linzy was on a quick break so we got in a little family time at the bar of all places. Afterward, she returned to her third set while we commenced date night. 

After that, we got all of Linzy's gear packed up and moved our van but somehow managed not to leave. We hung out at the back of the van talking shop like our family does.

Apparently.

I don't even remember what all we talked about. It was a bit stream of consciousness. But it was lovely still.

Linzy’s gig calendar had something on every Friday of October. Winery gigs on three of them. A Midnight High show on the first Friday of the month. There was a Palisade restaurant performance on the last Wednesday of October but the BIG deal was Linzy’s Dream Patrol show at Sunset Tavern in Ballard, Tuesday the 22nd.

The show was the best one so far. Between the production quality of the recorded tracks playing back through the house sound system, the writing, the arranging, the mixing, the layering of the songs, a pair of her Midnight High bandmates, masters both on bass (Tim) and lead guitar (Skylar), expert stage lighting from mains to accents, smoke, disco balls, and then Linzy's performance itself that was an aligning of planets, a coalescing of iconic look, vocal performance, and lead singer attitude.

No joke.

This was some next-level magic.

One of the Dream Patrol songs Linzy premiered at the show’s called “halloween” and a coupla days before I got it in my head to see how feasible it might be to make a music video for that song using the Text to Video function of RunwayML.

Turns out: very feasible. The thing knocked my socks off. And Kimmer’s. And the producer I’m working with. And the other editor who works with that producer. And so on. 😁

If you wanna have a look... there's some intense language and imagery. So beware!

I said before I completed the first cut of the youth incarceration project halfway through the month. The big deal there was that it was a work in progress until it wasn’t. Meaning, I didn’t have a sense of the full piece until I was in sight of the finish line. So. End of the day, the producer and I watch it in its entirety. For the first time. And it’s spectacular in its polished, first-cut iteration. 😁😁😁

By the way, did I mention Kimmer made costumes?

Yeah. The Dream Patrol show was actually billed as a “costume event” and we were all-in from the get-go. I can’t remember what I thought of first for a costume but the second costume I thought of was Nevermore student vampire. It took a coupla weeks but Kimmer found the pieces for it, threw in her dark round-lensed glasses, and crafted the formal jacket herself with blue and black stripes along with the Nevermore logo. Classic!

For herself, Kimmer made…

Actually, she found this fantastic silver material, an oversized dress actually, and was immediately inspired to craft an Eiffel Tower costume. She bought additional materials and had a sort of first draft laid out on our dining room table prior to sewing it all together. It would've been AMAZING.

What happened, though, is that she was at Value Village and ran across a purple T-shirt illustrated with the gang from It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! in their iconic costumes.

Later she was telling me about it and how she was thinking about getting it for me to which I replied

"WHY DIDN'T YOU???"

So next thing we're in the car to Value Village where we snag the shirt (thankfully still hanging there in the costumes section) and since Kimmer’s always looking… she finds this year’s costume. Actually, she finds it in pieces. 

The first piece Kimmer finds is kind of a lamp shade deal where, instead of shade, there are strings of reflective wires. So she grabs it, thinking how it might go with her Eiffel Tower costume still in the works. But then…

Then she finds an outfit that we don't know what it is but it looks cool, fits comfortably, and makes a statement.

What statement?

No idea. 

It has kind of, sort of, maybe a Jetson’s vibe? But then put the reflective headpiece on her head and now she looks like a lamp?

Sort of?

Kind of?

Maybe?

So she buys both pieces on the spot and then a few days later finds the ankle boots to go with it. White leather. Platform. Totally completes the look.

Again, no idea what the look is but then we're in Ballard walking to the show at night. We're both wearing our costumes, me without the sunglasses yet, she without the reflective headpiece yet. Nearing the venue, we pass a group of revelers one of whom pauses to tell Kimmer how much she loves Kimmer’s outfit.

Get it? Outfit?

See, this is October 22. Costume parties won't start ‘til Friday afternoon. So I'm pretty sure she thought Kimmer was just dressed this way and looked cool.

I thought that was very sweet.

Kimmer did look cool. ☺️

By the way. That music video I made from Text to Video prompts? That was definitely on my own time but it did pay off professional dividends in that I now have a method of working with this particular AI tool and can actually explain it to another human being in a way that makes sense.

Ish.

Okay so last thing:

We watched and watched and re-watched The Diplomat on Neflix earlier this year and have been anxiously awaiting the dropping of season 2 that happened at 3AM Eastern Standard Time which meant midnight Pacific Standard Time. Which meant that's how we ended our Wednesday night, October 30.

Which.

We.

Did.

We watched the first two episodes straight through for ninety minutes.

Last I looked at the clock it was about quarter of two Thursday morning.

The 31st.

The End.

😊

Maps Release: Greater Northshore Bike Connector, MEGAMAP 1.4.5

Greater Northshore Bike Connector Map 1.4.5 – 13 December 2024 – is now available on github, as is MEGAMAP 1.4.5 a pasteup of Greater Northshore, City of Seattle, 2 Line Eastside Bike Connector, and a little bit of King County Regional Trails to get us all the way to the south end of Lake Washington.

Changes since 1.4.3 (since I apparently never posted about 1.4.4 here?! so you get a double-dose):

The full long-term remapping of Montlake Boulevard at SR-520 with the new bike/pedestrian bridge. It was supposedly going to be soft-open today, with opening ceremony tomorrow (14 December) but it’s not open yet and landscaping clearly isn’t done. I think it’s open enough for tomorrow but I suspect there will be landscaping-related closures. (MEGAMAP only)

New Safe/Neighbourhood Greenway streets in northern Lake City (already open; Greater Northshore and MEGAMAP)

Improved bike lanes/partial off-street lanes in Redmond on 152nd Ave NE north of NE 24th St. (already open; MEGAMAP only)

Yet another correction to Seattle’s map showing NW 125th between Interurban and Aurora as sharrows, not bike lanes (thank you, @pruwyben@social.ridetrans.it) (Greater Northshore and MEGAMAP)

Construction warning flag removed with the end of Burke-Gilman repaving in Bothell (Greater Northshore and MEGAMAP)

All permalinks continue to work.

If you enjoy these maps and feel like throwing some change at the tip jar, here’s my patreon. Patreon supports get things like pre-sliced printables of the Greater Northshore, and also the completely-uncompressed MEGAMAP, not that the .jpg has much compression in it because it doesn’t. If you have an iPhone, please use the website interface and not the app, because Apple takes 30% if you use the app. I’ll keep doing this regardless, but you know. Thank you! ^_^

The disgusting repugnant white pig in my neighborhood is wandering the streets around my house again. I developed a severe aversion to him while caring for my mom who has advanced Parkinson's.

I'm supporting the replace a great white entitled fucking American theory.

Kill yourself save a child.

His stench is bleach worthy

YOU'RE WRONG retard. Pay me the fuck out you useless incompetent revolting disgusting piece of shit. Like all the lonely trolls on the Internet, real life trolls are even worse.

We do this every three weeks or so like clockwork. It's a testament to your national weakness as men, the uselessness of your supreme Court, the corruption of your judges and the potential decline into a shithole country. 🇺🇲🇺🇲

I'm going to double down on this prediction. You can hold me to it.

I cant imagine you fucking morons not getting played on the global stage. Intellectually fucking retarded and always willing to prove it.

If this gets you hard. Your country should be proud. Viagra and pics of children.

Kill yourself save a child.💋💋💋💕

Every red cent, every act of violence, every act of corruption, every act of stalking, every act of bribery, every dollar you didn't fucking pay for your mistakes because you think you're above the law. Every fucking concrete dime. Every PPP loan, bailout you didn't deserve.

No decent citizen should have to fucking carry you. Especially with tax dollars.

Again someone employs this fat piece of shit. The liability is yours, you fucking gutless prick. Not mine, my husband, son's or daughters.

Like this piece of shit, or a delusional sheriff are any different. The problem with America is you protect scum. White fat scum is no different than the scum you pretend to hate at the border you useless cunt

I'm sure any supreme Court justice or useless judge in Oregon could explain it to you like a fucking simpleton.

When a country lacks shame in it's treatment of the most vulnerable, you know you're a right off.
