Fort Stevens Shipwreck

This is what's left of the Peter Iredale, which went aground in 1906.  

It is in Fort Stevens State Park near Astoria, Oregon.

It is a great attraction for visitors.

Seahawks Win Opener

The team looked flat to me. Too much celebration, of the Superbowl victory and maybe, the starters sitting out during the three exhibition games.  Quarterback Sam Darnold was injured in the team's first offensive series.

Nonetheless, the Seahawks were able to eak out a 13-10 victory over the New England Patriots to open the 2026 NFL season.

We watched the game from The Times, the repurposed old theater in Seaside, Oregon.

RIP Tucker Budzyn

 

Tucker Budzyn, who helped redefine how pets are portrayed on social media, sadly passed away from complications of cancer.  The passing was announced by his "mom's" tearful video.

Tucker, a beautiful golden retriever, was portrayed as a mischievous human-type child, who instigated trouble and mayhem mostly aimed at his doggy parents.  

The videos, shown on various platforms were daily, bringing laughs and smiles to followers, who wanted levity in their lives. 

In addition or inspired by Tucker, other shows with similar concepts would emerge, such as, A Guy and A Golden. 

Tucker was eight years old. He was reported to have over 27 million followers!
