100% Agreed. Respectfully, the previous poster does not get Bama football. The chief criticism of Kalen DeBoer has been that he's "too soft for Bama". I was glad to see the fire and so was the Alabama fan base and sports writers. From Bama Hammer on winners and losers from the game: “Winner...

Georgia is great but the refs have screwed us so bad all night. Amazingly bad calls made a lot of this game about shitty refs instead of two great teams. I would seriously not want to be #5 in practice next week. That guy has been our achilles heel all season. Never seen Kalen so pissed.

Dawn at first beach. Offshore Weather

My (UW Husky alum) wife is coming back home from the coast in the AM because she "wants to watch Bama" in the afternoon. It only took 13 years or so to convert her to being an Alabama fan. It's easy to get used to (mostly) winning. I'm sure there's more room for all you sad UW and WSU folks in...

2.35" at the Quilleute station yesterday showing nice jumps on the Forks rivers. Looking forward to getting back over there later this week. Fingers crosses it's enough to get some fish up into the Sol Duc/Bogachiel and past the nets below Leyendecker.

Quick snap on my commute around Crescent.

Jim Kerr rescued a guy a few seasons back that actually pulled a Kneivel and launched his car off the side of that bridge. Luckily he made it into the trees on the far bank and Jim happened to float by first thing at dawn and maybe save the guys life.

It's been down to one lane for a while due to work. Glad to see they are getting it fixed. It's kind of a scary bridge. The really bad spots are just north of there at Dowans creek where the road is high above the Bogachiel. That's also down to one lane with an automated light due to washouts...

Sitting here in unincorporated KingCo watching the rain, I was befuddled why the the river behind our place on the OP wasn't showing a nice bump in flows. Cliff Mass showed it in his latest post: https://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2026/09/a-perfect-storm-hits-northwest.html

All the Quilleute rivers including the Bogachiel are a trickle right now - well below the historical mean. I doubt this rain will bring it up much. Sol Duc was shin deep behind my house. Coho are trapped in the Quilleute (now closed) below Leyendecker until we get a lot more rain. Bogey...

Very good: https://nmfa.io/ https://www.nevadaartprinters.com/ Exceptional and expensive: https://www.whitewall.com/us I'm about to order a 40x30" acrylic print in a floating mount from NMFA. Have a very good printer at home but can only do max 17" on the short side.

Yeah, I was running 5.2 with with a dedicated processor running into a preamp, 2 amps, a streamer/server, an SACD player, and a shit ton of cables... Made my wife SO mad every time she tried to watch a movie. Getting rid of the processor and simplifying the TV part of things to a basic Sonos...

Honestly if all you're watching is sports, the TV speakers are probably fine. I'm usually yelling at the TV too loud due to Bama's constant eff-ups the sound is lost on me anyway... If you also enjoy movies, then it'll depend on your set-up. If it's two-channel music oriented, it's not great...

Wandering around Astoria a couple weeks back. The white smears in the background are fishing boat motoring back up. They disappear due to the long exposure (physics/math of this phenomena are interesting...

Great news for the area (and me as I'm just up the hill...). Also - there restoration work they have done downstream of Rainbow Bend seems to be gaining traction. All the new braids have spread out the flows in that area and all the new trees and vegetation is starting to mature a bit. That...
