On Friday, Hubby and I took a drive up to Snoqualmie Falls Park, near North Bend (in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains). We went late in the day, and the sun was nearly setting, but the Falls was well-lit from where we stood. It was a beautiful, crisp Autumn day, and the drive up …

A Bullet Dodged: Thanks Given
RushBabe dodged a bullet recently. I had a health scare, which started in June with an itchy place on one shoulder. Where it started was easy to remember, since it took place on the street in Leavenworth, when Hubby and I were there in June for the International Accordion Celebration. Gradually, that itchy place took …
Seattle Landlords are not going to be very happy.
The Washington State Supreme Court has just handed down a ruling that is going to make it much more difficult to own rental property in Seattle. The near-socialist, depraved City passed a law that requires landlords to rent to the "first in line qualified renter" when they have a house or apartment to rent. So …

Coming back to bite them in Seattle
On my favorite KOMO Web site today, there is a sad story about a King County worker assaulted, right outside the King County Courthouse in (used-to-be) beautiful Downtown Seattle. This is so disgusting that I am going to copy some of that story for you here. This is what the City of Seattle and County …
A Trip to Hillsdale College, 175 years!
The first week of October, Hubby and I flew to Michigan, to attend the Hillsdale College 175th Anniversary Gala, and the dedication of the new Christ Chapel. The weather was fine on the flight out, and we got to see Mount Rainier from above. We arrived in Detroit, picked up the rental car, and headed …
