LaConner, WA, Marina, January 2015 Above the clouds, September 2015. Denver Airport, April 2015 Clouds over Pike's Peak, April 2015 Rock climber, …
Month: December 2015
2015
So what kind of year was 2015? Statistically, not too bad. But statistics can be misleading (in both directions). Financially, I earned about as much in 2015 as I did in 2014, but my earnings went further. Much to my surprise and delight, I was able to sweep a fair amount of money from my …

In 1977, I was 28 years old. I had been married for four years, and my husband and I lived in Seattle fairly happily. I was a hospital pharmacy technician, and he was a transformer winder for a company that made industrial transformers. Neither of us really knew what we wanted to be when we …
This is What.Is.Wrong.With.Seattle
The title of the story on the KOMO news web site is Watchdog: SPD Needs Big Mayday Reforms. In Seattle, MayDay every year brings out the Anarchists, masked and destructive, breaking glass in store windows, and other acts of vandalism. See this picture-this is what the Seattle Police Department is faced with EVERY MayDay! See …
Weekly Photo Challenge…Eye Spy
Can you find the well-camouflaged creature in this picture? He blends in with his surroundings very well (which Nature probably designed him for). He was on the grounds of the visitor center at Garden of the Gods park in Colorado. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/eye-spy/
