Seattle Airport is at a standstill – some nonsense with IT systems, Alaska Airlines planes are not taking off (grounded).
UPDATE: remember the door that fell off Boeing mid-flight? It was Alaska Airlines and Boeing 737 Max, which I am currently sitting in.

I shoot three times a year, and it’s quite engaging. I wanted to say that carrying a heavy camera for 15 km (with an elevation >100 floors) while hopping on rocks in the mountains is not easy, until we met a girl there who walked the whole way barefoot.
The Seattle Transportation Department knows how to stick a note with details to a No Parking sign

It’s funny to stare at a sentence in a book that says when you fly to the other end of the USA, you become younger than everyone else by a quintillionth of a second — at the moment when you’re sitting on the plane flying to the other end of the USA.
Hello, Seattle!
Took with me on the plane to read
I wonder why smart systems, cameras, driver assistance systems in driving are not used on commercial transport such as trucks and buses? It’s one thing to integrate such statuses into a $35K car, and another into a truck or bus, whose prices start at least at $100-150K, and in some cases more. Buses are often purchased by organizations for whom an extra $5-10K on a price of $100-150 may not make much of a “difference” in deciding what to buy. Although of course understanding that there, with a tender for the minimum price, every thousand could be decisive. On the other hand, insurance might be lower, and it can be nicely sold to people (passengers). Also, it seems that truck drivers falling asleep are simply more dangerous and costly than personal car drivers falling asleep.
