This was the restaurant attached to the Ramada in Tukwila where I stayed when I was visiting friends in Seattle. “O’Beer” is a family name, right? This the O’Beer family’s pub, passed down from father to son, right? Generations of … Continue reading

Lodge
Don’t think I’m going to finally get a chance to stay at the Timberline Lodge in northern Oregon, but I did stay at this nice lodge on Mt. Ashland in southern Oregon. Just wish the skies weren’t so clear. Yuck.

Serendipitously, I was driving around New Mexico while re-listening to a Seminar About Long Term Thinking that Neil Gaiman had given several years ago. It reminded me about the Human Interface Task Force which the U.S. Department of Energy had … Continue reading
