May 9 Left hip, right hip. Left buttock, right buttock. Where do you pocket the magnetic stuff to minimize risk to magnetism-intolerant stuff?  

May 8 I love Seattle’s Museum of Flight. And I’m from the other Washington where we have two Air & Space Museums. This beats them. Sort of.

 May 8 Had the most enjoyable ramble thru Belltown Seattle today with Bobby Hayes. The man and I are warped along the same contours.  

May 8 Saw “The Founder” on the flight out to Seattle. Excellent pic of Ray Kroc’s development of McDonald’s. Nick Offerman shines as Dick McDonald
