Most every adult alive on that day remembers where he/she was and what they were doing that sunny Tuesday morning. I was making breakfast before work, and I had the TV on when the story broke. I saw one of the towers that looked like it was on fire. Since it was in New York, …

Thinking back on the past three years, it occurs to me that we have pretty much stayed out of big cities, both at home and on vacations. In the last three years of Covid madness, I have only been to Seattle once, for a private concert at the new Center for Chamber Music, which Hubby …

On Friday, September 9, Hubby and I again went to the Washington State Fair in Puyallup (in Pierce County). This year's fair was much freer than last year's, when masks were required even outdoors! I did not wear a mask last year, in defiance of the Health Nazis, and even though they were not required …
It seems that the Leftist Everett Herald was going to host a debate between the "Mom in tennis shoes" and her young, intelligent, productive challenger recently, but Murray refused to be in the same room with the first person to pose any kind of threat to her power. Gee, I wonder why. Murray insisted on …

It was a beautiful high-70s day, and most of the traffic was going in the opposite direction! We were quite fortunate, and …

As such, I have filled out political surveys, and finally get to register my opinion, in a Leftist state where the Holy Sacrament of Abortion is very strong. As a part of those surveys, I have had the distinct …

Ooh, this is going to be fun! I have been a transportation buff since the mid-1980s, when I spent a year as an apprentice to a transportation consultant. Whenever I see a train, I try to watch it until it is out of sight. Living in the Pacific Northwest surrounded by bodies of water, we …

Tucker Carlson was doing a bit on his show today, discussing the lack of beauty in our environment, specifically ugly buildings. So I thought I'd find some natural beauty for you. Here are some sailboats in the channel on the Everett, Washington waterfront. They are sailing south to north. It was a breezy day. These …
On September 1, Joe Biden gave a speech in Philadelphia, at Independence Hall. The venue has historical significance which is obvious-the War of Independence was planned there, as well as the US Constitution when independence from Britain was secured. From the picture below, you can see the "hellish red background" behind him, and his angry …
