we love a little leftover chicken katsu sandwich with sautéed greens and a sourdough bagel

Two chicken Katsu sandwiches side by side. It’s fried chicken on two bagels, both with cream cheese and sautéed greens.

Buffalo grilled chicken sliders and POG. I love POG 😭

Three grilled chicken sliders slathered with buffalo sauce and topped with a ranch slaw, all on Hawaiian rolls. They sit on a long plate next to a glass of POG juice.

I may have been influenced by a YouTube board game channel but I can confirm that these games are actually fun to play.

A picture of two board game boxes on a wooden table. The one on the left is a small box for the game Uno: No Mercy. The box on the left is slightly larger than the Uno box, and is for the game Flip 7. The box claims that it is the greatest card game of all time.

tfw it’s 61 degrees in Seattle

French doors open to a catio covered in netting, with the sun filtering through the trees from the right and casting its rays on the green bush backdrop right outside the catio. A black cat is cautiously observing the yard just past the netting. In the catio is a black metal table, and in the foreground there is a viney plant.

It’s so ridiculous, how could I resist

A screenshot of Apple Maps with the report an issue page open. The top says “what issue do you want to report about gulf of America” and the option “name is wrong” is selected. In the text box, I have written in Gulf of Mexico.

It was very cold in Seattle today

Two cats sit in front of a fireplace to feel its warmth. One is a tabby in loaf mode on a scratch pad, and the other is an Orange Cat™ and is carefully sniffing the glass between them and the fire.

A French lunch. There is a croissant, a baguette sandwich, and a bunch of potato chips sitting on a wax paper wrap. Everything is sitting on a desk.

Anyway I read a story on Reddit about how chill it is to get healthcare in France and I almost cried. We deserve better.

Screenshot of Reddit post from Unique-Coffee5087
During the run-up to Obamacare, there were a number of articles in the news about how people received health care services in other countries. In one, a woman who was in France for a few months on business discovered a lump in her breast. She contacted the health service at her university where she was working, and was told that she should see a radiologist to get it scanned. She asked for a referral, and she was given a list of different people whom she could see. They thought she meant a reference, since there were no medical specialist gatekeepers in the system like we have.
So she went to see the doctor who was closest. This doctor worked out of her home, and had equipment and waiting room and so on there. She didn't have any other staff working every day, and gave her billing to someone who provides billing services to a number of doctors in the area. That person came in maybe once a week to do all the paperwork.
In any case, she was seen by this specialist that afternoon, was invited to stay and have some coffee and then discussed the results about an hour later. There was no out-of-pocket payment. It turned out that the lump was benign, and she was encouraged to have it checked out again once she got back to the States

Reddit post continued
In any case, the system there is very simple.
There are no gatekeepers, and there aren't all of these different ways that payment can be withheld. The doctor provides the service, sends in the bill, and gets paid. That's about it.
They don't need to have full-time staff for each medical insurance company with its own rules and quirks. That means they're overhead is extremely small. I'm sure that their quality of life as doctors is also improved.

A story, in three parts.

My cat Rava lazily laying on her back on a high pile carpet.

My cat Rava slowly rolling on to her side, but in a lazy way.

Rava sat in loaf-form (sitting on belly, paws tucked under and to the front of her) and looking at the camera. She’s been caught.

First time in Vancouver!

Two men, nui and his partner Jake, smile at the camera. Behind them is the waters surrounding Vancouver BC

A picture of a Vancouver intersection from a tall building.

A skyline picture of Vancouver BC. There are two trees with yellow leaves closer to the camera reflecting off water.

A nice walk around the Jackson park golf course (ft. #pokemongo)

Nui, a man with a beard, sticks his tongue out as he takes a selfie, with the path he just traversed behind him. It’s a softly bright day in the PNW.

A trail with lots of trees above and to the side.
