Today in Seattle, mid-June, the mercury is refusing to rise above 56 degrees. It’s chilly and damp, so a bunch of us are making chili and posting on Nextdoor. We’re fine with cool weather and medium-hot chili.

Hopefully, I don’t have to explain the Nextdoor app, but I’ll have ChatGPT explain it, just in case:

“Nextdoor is a social networking service for neighborhoods, allowing users in neighborhoods to connect, share information, and engage with their local communities. Reporting and discussing local issues: Users can report issues such as lost and found items, suspicious activities, or neighborhood nuisances.”

Note: If you are new to Nextdoor, you will fit right in if you blame any local problems on the City Council. Even the coyotes.
