The Belly of the Beast is the capitol of Washington State, Olympia. We drove down there yesterday so we could sign a couple of petitions, one for voter ID in Washington, and the other to repeal the new "Millionaires Tax" which is an income tax.

Today’s tales begin with a new (to me) account which I am following. Steve Mullaney is an author who recently heard noises in his attic.
