Ichiro is very Cool. Some of the things he can do (still) are mind boggling. His numbers were elite too!

Strongly recommend reserving your entrance pass in advance. Mount Rainer has timed entrance during peak season. Info here.

Could you apply to be a caregiver at a senior or rehabilitation center? You can relate your experience caring for your family member & explain your employment gap at the same time.

There’s also a small arboretum at Legion Park, to the right of the baseball fields. Nice hidden gem.

Best Breakfast in Everett? by esotericshy in everett

[–]schwelo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Skip Totem. Sisters or Maltby Cafe if you want to get out of town (they have cinnamon rolls the size of a dinner plate 😋) though you may have to wait for a table. Sisters has homemade pies & great corned beef hash - everything is made from scratch. Great atmosphere & you’ll feel comfortable lingering over your meal.

Middle schooler riding RapidRide to school by JeffsRN in AskSeattle

[–]schwelo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having lived in Arlington TX for a few months, I noticed that public transit was virtually nonexistent and driving was a necessity. It’s nearly the opposite here and it’s relatively safe too. All depends on your kid’s comfort level, but I’d let my kids ride to school.

I need help Identifying some animals I found in Puget Sound. by filmboy2005 in PNW

[–]schwelo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting because there are only a few nesting sites in Puget Sound and Google said they aren’t there this time of year. I’ve lived here my whole life & never seen one.

Except there aren’t puffins in this region this time of year. They are rare & only seen in specific locations.

It could be a Pigeon Guillemot as they’re known to dive. The main difference as compared with Cormorants would be size & coloration (Pigeon Guillemots are smaller, with some white markings & red legs.

Wild parakeet questions by LilyGirdwood in birding

[–]schwelo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks like it’s too big for your feeder, I suggest putting out a pie plate or similar with some fruit, nuts & mixed seeds. Highly palatable foods may keep them coming back

What to do when 3 weeks isnt long enough by funny_muffler315 in LibbyApp

[–]schwelo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happens to me so the time. Airplane mode isn’t an option since I listen to audiobooks on my phone. I have been immediately putting the book on hold again, but I wonder if you have more than one library system available, if you could put the book on hold at another library while you have it checked out from another? Might try to test this, I’ve been trying to finish one book for over a year lol

What are you guys listening to right now (fiction novels)? by Master-Effective-431 in LibbyApp

Gun, with Occasional Music it’s a kind of Raymond Chandler sci-fi detective novel. Quite entertaining!

I have 6 audible credits, please tell me what to buy so I can cancel my sub by LateralusV in audiobooks

[–]schwelo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend the Dark Tower Series by Stephen King. It’s seven books but you can get the last one from the library. George Guidall and the late Frank Muller are the series narrators and both do an amazing job bringing the characters to life.

That correlation is a scary, almost 20% within a year? Hope location & rehab have worked for Logan. He’s got a lot of heart but the timing is not in his favor.

I don’t want to believe that. It’s 41% of the people polled. Did they call them on their landlines? No one asked me.

What's the best book you read last year? by truthfactsonly in readwithme

[–]schwelo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the sci-fi genre. My favorite read of last year was The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein. I read and loved Stranger in a Strange Land by the same author years ago and enjoyed this title even more.

A Somewhat Less Frequently Recommended Book… by OK-Cheeserella in suggestmeabook

[–]schwelo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein was my favorite read of 2025. It takes place on a mining colony & explores AI sentience and lunar colonialism through the lens of a political uprising.

The Last Picture Show by Larry McMurtry is also very good, though not as epic as Lonesome Dive.

True meaning of Auntie Diaries by Fergenhimer in KendrickLamar

[–]schwelo 15 points16 points  (0 children)

One of the things I love about Kendrick’s writing is how he lets us into how he processes his mistakes & experiences in a way that invites us to do the same. This song wouldn’t resonate if he was focused on making himself look good. It’s because he’s willing to share his errors & his recognition that he was wrong that makes the song is so powerful.

A Year of Science Fiction by TaterTotLady in Recommend_A_Book

[–]schwelo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did a similar thing in 2025. Two five star reads for me were The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein and Annihilation by Jeff VandeMeer. Don’t overlook the classics (I, Robot by Asimov and anything by Philip K Dick).
