Well, this view is pretty easy on the eyes

Weekend at McMenamins Kalama Harbor Lodge and I’m pleased to have a view over the Columbia River.

Birfday.

Mount Baker in the distance

Digital zoom does it no justice, but I was pleased by the view from my north-facing office window this morning just after sunrise:

Mount Baker, visible from 80+ miles away bathed in sunlight and peeking above the rooftops and below the clouds.

Accurately describes my interactions with most people

But not my coworkers. Them, I’m fine with.

I go to work early to avoid my coworkers. I leave early for the same reason.

Although I don’t use work to avoid non-work peeps. I use antisocial behaviour, which works just as well.

For lunch today

Celebrating a work milestone (release going well) with a scoop of chocolate mousse ice cream and accompaniments.

And, well, why not have ice cream for lunch anyway?

“Task light”

I guess Bemis didn’t feel comfortable putting “See where you pee” on the toilet-seat packaging.

This is a good day.

Supreme Court rules same-sex marriage legal in all 50 states.

Beautiful writing from the majority opinion by Justice Anthony Kennedy:

No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice, and family. In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were. As some of the petitioners in these cases demonstrate, marriage embodies a love that may endure even past death. It would misunderstand these men and women to say they disrespect the idea of marriage. Their plea is that they do respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find its fulfillment for themselves. Their hope is not to be condemned to live in loneliness, excluded from one of civilization’s oldest institutions. They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right.

The judgment of the Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit is reversed.

It is so ordered.

Outdoor adventure.

An indoor cat, Flex always makes a beeline for the lawn edge so he can do a bit of grazing.
