The home page for 's HAVEN Kitchen & Bar features Sriracha Bloody Marys. If you've ever wondered if they are as good as they look, the answer is... yes.

A Great Camas and a Chocolate Lily from our walk out on Iceberg Point the other afternoon. Although, I do like the lily’s other name of Mission Bells, particularly for this specimen.

Found a deer on the beach unable to stand. Called sheriff, and Officer Walker came out. Got close enough to see that it was a young buck who had been in the frigid water and dragged himself onto beach. He did stand but was shaking badly.

Encouraged him to walk down the beach to climb to safety, but he favored the water so we backed off. Happy to report he was heading east toward safer ground.

Officer Walker was kind to the animal; his help gave this buck a chance at survival.

Hobi here on has been wonderful to work with. Mike, the owner, fielded a call right away and scoped the job promptly. His crew that did the work was professional and clearly skilled. Unexpected plumbing problems are never fun, but getting connected with a company like Hobi takes a lot of the stress out of it. I highly recommend them.

Studio 45 Glass is a fascinating local glass-blowing shop on . Their doors are open to the public on weekdays, both studio and active blowing shop. Very much worth a visit!

@ggbeard @lee Yes, I believe hashtags are the right solution here. Perhaps @lee and I could add these to the about page, or the acceptable use page, so that they are always handy for reference.

One per island, like:





...

plus a some ferry-centric tags.

Maybe we can start an online document to agree on them, and then publish to the site?

@grooms The ideal is that the community moderates itself, which (I believe) requires small, local participation. That's where Twitter failed us.

The more we can discuss as neighbors, with a shared interesting in community success, the better the experience will be.

IRL, there are huge chasms between world views, even just here on . But the community still works by us being selective about with whom and how we engage.

With about a foot of on this week, here's a good reminder of the road-clearing priority.

Please stay safe and don't drive unless you absolutely have to.
