Kind of a quiet week, overall? I was in Seattle for a big chunk of it, for work, so it was mostly attending meetings and leading meetings and catching up with folks. I capped it off with a nice ~12 hour drive home Friday, coming all the way down from the Olympic peninsula to Astoria on US 101.

Behind every sign, a story

One of my strongly held beliefs is that behind every sign with a rule on it, there’s some sort of story. This was on the door leading from the vehicle deck up to the passenger deck on the Washington State ferry I took from Edmonds over to Kingston. I am intensely curious about what lead to the cleats rule.

The drive back home on Friday featured the highest price for a gallon of gas that I’ve ever paid.
