Three years after my husband died, I’m still trying to prove our life together was worth losing his family. What I live with isn’t forgetting — it’s the blurring of memory. On the third anniversary, I wrote about grief, memory, and continuing without answers. www.dataandpolitics.net/the-blurring/

This is my third wedding anniversary since my husband passed away. It's a bittersweet day. If you know me IRL, I'd be grateful for a hello. If you don't know me in person, I'd be grateful for a cute animal or nature photo. Thanks for the support over these years.

I found one of San Francisco’s undeclared streets. The City doesn’t recognize it as an official street but the postal service does.

I have been so annoyed by this block on my walking project. It’s kinda sorta marked on maps as a street, but it’s gated by fences on both sides. A construction crew was working on the fence just now on the Harrison side and I made it past. Success!

I find the way British people pronounce San Francisco as “San FRANcisco” oddly vexing.
