Yes, it's that time of year again. The entire month of April is the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. Due to the onerous Health Nazis instilling fear in the population, the Festival was canceled in 2020 and 2021, regardless of the fact that the festivities are all outdoors. This year, Mother Nature was not very cooperative, …
Thanks to my iPhone 13 Pro, I am now always ready with a camera, when a likely subject comes into view. It's fun to capture scenes that seem to just have been waiting for me to come along and capture them. I got this one at my local outlet mall. The display of old sewing …

A while ago, Jonathan Choe was let go from KOMO News because of his honest reporting on what has been happening in downtown Seattle, especially since the onerous Covid restrictions were initiated in 2020.

Eastern Washington grows wheat, hops, and, increasingly, …

At my local store over the weekend, I noticed a new product on the shelf. I was somewhat taken aback as I looked at this new range of cosmetics, obviously aimed at the (ever-growing, ever-louder) homosexual and "transgender" market. The brand is "Prideful", and seems to be going after the tiny segment of people who …
April Fools! April 1 is the day of the year for playing pranks. Or maybe finding things in real life that just look like pranks. I got such a kick out of this "pranky" sign in front of a business in Wyoming! I can just hear it now. "Honey, I crashed the truck". "You did …
