Dystopia is moving in on Seattle and its suburbs quite rapidly this year. Crime is increasing, the homeless are literally taking over the sidewalks in downtown Seattle, and businesses are leaving due to the onerous Covid diktats of the Dictator in Olympia and his henchmen the Health Nazis. Headline stories today: Seattle sidewalks overrun by …
When I am working on my computer, Kikyo keeps watch to protect me from intruders. I feel safer now.
