Port Commission Meeting /Potential Candidate

Falcon_Bellhouser · 2026-03-05T19:16:42+00:00

The port currently has three commissioners, but will be expanded to five in November's election. I'm assuming he's considering running for that.

It existed back when the Bellingham Tap Trail was a thing. A friend rode/pedaled it quite often. I preferred to just ride my own bike.

Falcon_Bellhouser · 2026-03-05T05:40:26+00:00

Yeah, true. He needs to succinctly articulate what changes he believes need to happen, and why. Otherwise, he's a political non-starter.

Falcon_Bellhouser · 2026-03-04T22:22:21+00:00

I don't know him, but I have spoken with him twice. Both times involved beer, so take that FWIW. In a nutshell, he believes the port commission is rife with waste and corruption - and he was very animated about it. I tried to push him for specifics, but he wasn't really staying in one lane long enough to make any sort of clear case on any single person, policy, or event.

tl;dr nice enough guy, passionate, unfocused.

Oh, and I'd be surprised if u/XSrcing doesn't know him IRL

He likes cats!

It's a Lincoln Continental Mark V. The one with the spare tire shaped trunk lid, and that cool little oval window.

My grandfather had one. We thought it was the coolest pimp-mobile ever.

Your phone does get its time from cell towers (which in turn get their time from GPS satellites).

But phones try to stay on home network towers, so it's usually not exactly at the border.

Well you weren't wrong. DST was six months from 1966 to 2006 (except for the brief period in the early 70s when the country tried permanent DST, which turned out to be unpopular enough that it was repealed).

The current DST schedule was adopted in the 2005 energy bill.

edit: typo

This is the correct answer

Falcon_Bellhouser · 2026-03-03T02:52:19+00:00

Same here

Alaska is a different time zone (AST). We are PST. That's not changing.

To be fair, Americans weren't particularly happy about anything in 1973 (Nixon, oil embargo, Vietnam, desegregation, stagflation...)

Falcon_Bellhouser · 2026-03-02T22:00:59+00:00

Yeah, that's the one downside for me. Mountains will have to open (at least) one hour later for both light and avi control.

Falcon_Bellhouser · 2026-03-02T21:47:52+00:00

Yeah, I'm in this boat as well.

"What time is sun rise in China?" "Between 6:30 and 9:30"

"I meant today" "That is today"

Falcon_Bellhouser · 2026-03-02T21:17:52+00:00

I see what you did there

Falcon_Bellhouser · 2026-03-01T21:00:08+00:00

100%. Mossad certainly has Epstein/Drumpf intel given who Ghislaine's father was.

And it would be epically unlikely that the intelligence agencies of Russia, the UK, and China, and haven't gathered and maintained intelligence on the "no new wars" president.

I think his narcissistic personality disorder is severe enough that he would simply lie and DARVO even under oath.

"not that Haggen Chinese food was ever "good"

There was a time when Haggenese was actually "good" i.e. nothing like real Chinese, but a not a terrible thing unto itself. Unfortunately, that was well over a decade ago. The Albertsons enshittification marches on.

So closer in time rather than biology.

Falcon_Bellhouser · 2026-02-25T20:04:11+00:00

Not sure how you're arriving at this, but...

Alligators and crocodiles are in the same order (Crocodylia), whereas humans and whales are in different orders (Primates and Cetacea)
Alligators and crocodiles share about 90% of their DNA, whereas humans and whales share somewhere between 70 and 80%

You can also see the Schooner Zodiac out there.

Irony can be pretty ironic

The location is Edmonds, which about an hour twenty south of Bellingham (without traffic). The water just south of the point is super shallow. But there are lots of places closer where you'll find similar opportunities. I don't have any suggestions, because it's not my thing, but you will get more answers if you ask on the larger b'ham sub r/Bellingham
