A tiny DVD/VHS library we saw today.

A television on a pole next to the road with a sign that reads "One Block Buster". It has been painted orange and the screen, which is also a door, is green.

A view of the television with the door open. Inside is a small collection of DVDs and one VHS tape.

A close up of the DVDs and VHS tape. A "Be kind rewind" message has been written on the back of the box with a smily face.

Spokane's investment in a disc golf course in Liberty Park has been such a success. I ride my bike past it often and every time I see multiple groups enjoying it.

We went to the "Iron & Honor" exhibit at Spokane's Museum of Arts and Culture and saw amazing pieces of art, armor, and weaponry. www.northwestmuseum.org/exhibitions/...

A large vertical banner hanging on the exterior wall of a museum. It features a shiny silver suit of armor from the waistline up. The words on the banner read "Iron and Honor, the art of knighthood. June 20th through October 11th 2026." A cement planter with various flowers of differing colors sits in front of the banner.

Rode my bike to catch a westbound 6 at its end-of-line in the Spokane University District. I will then transfer to 62 Medical Lake at the West Plains Transit Center. Three young men who boarded at the Plaza are likely also heading to Medical Lake—each had a fishing rod.

Art seen in Hillyard today.

Art on a garage door depicting a strutting man in a blue suit and large leather shoes along with the words Keep on Truckin' in the style of Robert Crumb. A sign with the word Hilly sits above the garage door, perhaps at one point it said Hillyard.
