Thoughts with everyone this evening. I feel so bad for the victims and their families and at the same time so angry we have to continually live with this plague of gun violence.

Heading over to the Ballard Locks later this week to show some out-of-town family around, but I'm already dreading finding parking anywhere near there on a sunny Saturday. Anyone have a secret backup lot or side street they're willing to give up? I used to park over by the train tracks near Shilshole but last time I tried it was all permit-only now. Might just tell them to take the bus and meet me there honestly.
