“Part of the Ace philosophy is to create an egalitarian atmosphere by bringing together creative types with tight budgets and more affluent travelers willing to trade down, as it were, in exchange for cool. (The hotel’s name is inspired by the card: the highest or lowest in the deck.)”

Today it’s really hot. Not so long ago it was 27 degrees. The last couple years after living in Portland, OR (from Los Angeles) it’s actually great to have some defined seasons even if the scale seems to “bottom out” in both directions. The peak of the day is around 4pm in the afternoon. Also have my macbook on an ice-pack just incase !

Sitting at home around 6:14pm when I felt a sizable shockwave in my apartment.
Last night when it happened the
Geophysics dept. of Univ. of Washington reported the center to be just under the Morrison bridge on the east side of the river where there's a freeway interchange. Today they
report it as being 2 miles away in Laurelhurst park.
