Tomorrow, Monday, August 31, will be my last working day at my current job, which I have held for 12-2/3 years. That's the longest I have ever worked at any job in my entire working life. My original goal in life was to work forever, and never retire. Well, the Wuhan Coronavirus put an end …

Lens-Artists Challenge #112, Pick a Word
For this week, bloggers pick one or more of the following words, to illustrate with their photos. The words are: Growing, Crowded, Tangled, Exuberant, and Comfortable.

Damn You, Jay Inslee.
Another notch in your (well, I was going to say gun, but you abhor guns) billy-club. Congratulations, you have destroyed another small business in Washington State. Another livelihood ruined, lives put in jeopardy by your "Rule by Decree". We have to destroy it in order to save it. You're lucky that the Sheeple of Washington …

Just recently, a member of the US House of Representatives gave a speech. Ayanna Pressley called for unrest in the streets. Can someone tell me how this does not constitute inciting violence?

He said it better than I could…Today’s Quote
I admit that I copied this quote from George Will's book The Conservative Sensibility, from a friend's post over on Ricochet. He (George Will) said this better than I could.

First of all, let me say that the Government-required "lockdown", mandating that free citizens of the United States remain at home under modified "house arrest" has affected me, personally, only minimally.

Ruining Society Every Day
The so-called "Public Health" "Authorities", and the so-called "Press" (scare quotes fully intended) seem to be in collusion with the state government to ruin society. If Society means people interacting with each other for mutual benefit, Society is being ruined, decimated by the reactions of Government to the spread of the Wuhan Coronavirus. The lockdowns …
