Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #270: On Display

One of the great benefits of having a cell phone with a great camera, is that you always have it with you to capture those scenes that just show up without warning.  Yesterday, as we were walking back to our car after the Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra concert, we took a stroll through the Puget …

The Government of the City of Everett, WA is a bunch of Chumps

On my way home from work this afternoon, I followed a bus run by Everett Transit.  And then I burst out laughing.  Take a look at this, and I will tell you why.  And, by the way, this is funny-tragic, not funny ha-ha. It seems that our all-environmentalist all the way City of Everett bought …

Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals Rules: The world DOES owe you a living (or, at least, a place to live)

Remember when, to get you to do your chores at home, your mother would tell you that the world does not owe you a living?  You were supposed to do your part to provide for yourself by doing chores around the house.  Well, it seems that the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled, in …

COVID Madness! We told you so! CDC Lies.

We were told back in 2020 that the Covid virus was lethal, and that seniors everywhere were succumbing to the respiratory infection.  We heard alarming stories of nursing homes virtually emptying out, as their residents died in their numbers.  We were forced to wear masks whenever out of our homes, and sometimes even in our …

And here it is today. …

About what happened on Maui in Hawaii

I'm sure everyone has heard about the wildfires on Maui, which totally destroyed the old town of Lahaina, and killed many people (the death toll keeps rising).  But I'm betting that not so many have heard what really happened.  The mainstream media, which I am coming to believe is a greater withholder of news that …

It’s the Accounting Rules, Stupid!

For a long time, I have pondered how companies treat their employees.  Often, I think to myself that I want to work at a company which treats its employees like valuable assets, instead of just labor costs to be minimized.  Well, last week I learned something that just blew me away, and confirmed what I …

Since the All-Star Games have come and gone, and all the homeless have returned to the area around the stadia in south downtown Seattle, we have the usual summer reports.  The Capitol Hill Block Party was going on recently, and it had its usual amount of mayhem.  In case you were not aware, Capitol Hill …

Ashamed and Angry, in Equal Measure: My letter to the Editors of the Wall Street Journal

This afternoon, I dashed off a long letter to the editors of the Wall Street Journal, of which I have been a subscriber since 1991.  I am angry at them for all the news they have been ignoring, news that is extremely alarming for this country.  I would love to hear the thoughts of my …
