One depressing sight…and many beautiful ones

Yesterday, Hubby and I went for a ride.  The first stop was a local outdoor mall, in a suburb about 20 miles from our home.  For a nice weekend day, the mall was surprisingly empty.  We easily found a parking space, and just sauntered around.  There were a number of closed stores in this mall, …

On this Memorial Day, remember the fallen, who gave their lives so we may remain Free

Today, May 31, Memorial Day 2021, should be a day of Remembrance, to honor those in our Military, who gave their "last full measure of devotion" so that you and I can remain Free People in America.  Freedom is definitely NOT free, and we must always be mindful of military members who serve our country …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #150: Let’s Get Wild!

I have always loved wild places, and we certainly have many right within a day's drive of my home in Western Washington State.  In Eastern Washington, the landscape shows the effects of glaciation in the last Ice Age, over 10,000 years ago.  Much of the land was a huge lake called Lake Missoula, covering much …

Welcome to the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Chipping away at Society every day.

Here in the Pacific Northwest, we have some of the most beautiful scenery anywhere.  There's Mount Rainier, the Olympic Mountains (see my blog header), Puget Sound, Lake Washington, and the Seattle skyline with the Space Needle.  Unfortunately, not too far beneath that beauty exist local governments who seem bent on ruining the livability of their …

It just hit me again…mourning the Great Rush Limbaugh

It hit me like a ton of bricks, and my eyes became wet.  In my email box was something from the Rush 24/7 Web site.  In the email was this: He is gone, and I mourn.  Just at the worst time for America, when we are facing an existential threat from Communist China (it is …

The Health Nazis will Not let the US get back to normal…ever.

The Washington State Health Nazis, as demonstrated by Dr. Ali Mokdad of the University of Washington Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME).  The title of the KOMO story says it all: Expect "close to normal" summer but increase in Covid cases this fall".   Yes, there it is, the big BUT in the good …
