I apologize for not posting this sooner. I want to wish a Merry and Blessed Christmas to all my readers and followers. This year has had a dearth of fun and good news, but we don't have to be pulled under. We can rejoice in all the blessings of living in the United States of America, the …
Today, there are a bunch of stories on the KOMO Web site, including one about people injured in a drive-by shooting; where to take a Polar Plunge in the local area (Western Washington), and a hockey tournament. But they just couldn't help themselves. They had to publish the story about Health Officials (Health Nazis to me) being …

It has not been a good day so far (mostly my own fault). This post didn't make it any better. https://twitter.com/vancemurphy/status/1736869965054263412?s=20 The photo is cut off, but the banner says "I got my Covid-19 Vaccine." Yeah, that vaccine, the one the CDC is still pushing on people as young as six months of age. All …

This is what he says. So now, disagreement with the government is "Thoughtcrime" in my state. Being anti-government makes a person a "domestic violent extremist". He talks about protecting constitutional rights of free expression, but then defines "disinformation" as violent extremism. Beware, anyone disagreeing with the government, they will be coming for you. This guy …

Magical has different meanings to different people. For me, the most magical thing I have experienced was the three weeks I spent in Cambridge, England, in the summer of 1991, on a UCLA summer program. I had read about it for years in ads in the New Yorker magazine, and I finally decided that I …
I was thrilled to see the topic for this week's Challenge, as I own some items that are completely unique. The first one is a piece of art, which I inherited from my parents. I remember telling them when I was a teenager that, when they died, I insisted on getting this, and I did …
This is the time of year when emptiness can predominate. All the leaves have fallen off the deciduous trees, leaving their branches empty. But still beautiful. In the autumn, most beaches are empty of people, since the vacationers are gone. We were fortunate to visit Cape May, on the Jersey Shore, in October, when the …

At least, in our backyard they do. On Thursday, while waiting for our roast to cook, I sat at the kitchen table and watched our feathered friends in the yard. We had both kinds of Chickadees (Black-capped and Chestnut-backed), Red-shafted Flickers, Juncos, Varied Thrushes, and Song Sparrows. The Flickers are very skittish, and fly away …

First the Good. Two views of our Thanksgiving dinner. Left photo is this morning, after dry-brining in the refrigerator overnight. Right photo is just before going in the oven, with my homemade rub. Cooking in "low and slow" at the suggestion of Chef Andrew Gruel. And then, the Bad. And these results are probably understated. …
The world, and our Country, are very uncertain, and, frankly, scary right now. With wars breaking out and continuing, Jews threatened around the world, and Conservatives targeted by Leftist governments, you can sometimes lose sight of what makes the United States of America Great. Ours is still the beacon of Liberty in the world. Just …
