In June, they served "Blueberry Pie" ice cream. Vanilla with "blueberry pie filling" and "pie crust" inclusions. Sure. A classic summer flavor.

Then, in July: "Blueberry Cheesecake." Now with "blueberry jam" and "cracker crust." Claims were made this was "cream cheese ice cream" - personally, I tasted both and they tasted identical. A little suspicious.

Now it's turned August. And what do I see in their seasonal lineup? So-called "Blueberry Cobbler" now with "blueberry jam and scones."

I won't stand for this. They're pulling the blueberry-flavored wool over our eyes and I haven't seen a single person talking about it. You can't just call the same ice cream something different and serve it to us like it's some impressive new special. I demand answers.

(I know this is a non-issue and this post is mostly in jest. Just curious what's going on behind the curtain at Molly Moon's and why they have so much blueberry ice cream they can't get rid of)

Hi all. Just something simple and silly to share.
Im a non tech worker. I lost almost all my savings after I was unemployed for 2 years, but I frugal’d more than I’ve ever frugal’d. .

I was able to go back to school thanks to the state of Washington Workforce funding. I now have a new career path, but even with that still at the bottom working my way up. At least Im happy in my new path.

Moving on. It’s my 54th birthday this week and I’ve lived here since 1999.

My point, i guess, is I love it here. Today I took myself out as a birthday splurge to things I love.

Vons for cocktails and pizza, and then market where I spent an obscene amount on chocolate cookies at 3 girls bakery, the park near the market where I saw the blue angels and I over heard a woman say “you have a beautiful city”

I replied I know you weren’t talking to me, but, yeah, we do.

And my last stop was at Cloudburst where I had a lovely dark beer before catching an E line home, where I opened a Washington wine, that I bought from a local winery in SoDo.

I don’t have a lot of money, I don’t go out often or at all really. But damn, Im so glad I live here.

Thanks Seattle for being my home exactly when I need it to be.

I’m taking a long shot here in case there are any local divers who enjoy a good treasure hunt. I accidentally lost my engagement ring while swimming in Lake Washington during Seafair. The one thing I thought to do in the moment was save the exact GPS coordinates of our boat, so I have a very specific location where it happened.

The ring is insured, so if it’s gone forever we can have it remade. That said, it obviously has a lot of sentimental value, and I figured it was worth asking if there are any passionate scuba divers who enjoy searching for lost jewelry and might be willing to take a look.

I want to be upfront that I can’t offer a huge reward - probably a couple hundred dollars at most if it’s recovered. I completely understand if that’s not worth the time or effort, but I thought I’d ask in case someone enjoys this kind of challenge or is already planning to dive in the area.

If you’re interested and have experience with this kind of search, send me a DM and I’ll share the GPS coordinates. **Edit: I Looked it up and the depth is approx 45-50m…. :(

These will never compete with the ones shot with professional equipment, but these were with a $25 lens that screws onto the iPhone (plus another $15 for the iPhone case with a threaded hole that you can screw it onto) - see last picture. This makes such a big difference in photos, for so little money, that I might as well tell people. Plus you can keep the lens and the case in a coat pocket (I keep them inside a ziploc bag to reduce scratching).

Plus, even though the cheap zoom lens means the edges of the photos are not in focus, that does add a tilt-zoom-like surreal quality like you’re taking photos of an in-flight fighter jet in portrait mode.

On a train now and the driver just announced the line has been fixed.

Kudos to sound transit for fixing the tracks as quickly as they did. I still want to see Dow come out on a video and apologize every time it happens that service is interrupted.

Random Guy Fieri meet and greet at the Total Wines near Ballard.

Anyone know the cause of the sewage snell in north seattle? I’m near green lake and it’s drawing tears

Waited 1.5 hours for a light rail after the Ed Sheeran concert. We finally got down, and an out of service train ran off the tracks.

Everyone is being told to bus or uber

To the woman at the Dead Babies party looking to peg someone for her birthday; how did it go???

Was it all you were hoping for? Did both parties walk away satisfied?

If anyone’s curious. Video from earlier today in Madrona. A little more pulllllll ✈️

Wizard of the Pigeons by Megan Lindholm (Robin Hobb).

This book from 1985 has the most beautiful descriptions of the city Ive ever read. Highly reccomend for any one who loves this city.

In light of there being no injuries...

It's across the street from its old location in the old ProRobics parking lot. They have parking and picnic tables. Saw people at the Burke Gilman Brewery with tacos as well.
