Covid Madness on our Road Trip

We have just returned from a two-week road trip, which took us through the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado.  In none of those states did we encounter a mask mandate.  In every state we stopped in, we found some people wearing masks in public (higher percentage in WA than any …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #196: Humor (Updated)

All these humorous signs were collected on our road trip from Washington State to Colorado and back. In the town of Rock Springs, Wyoming, we found a most unlikely restaurant.  A Japanese Steakhouse, called Sapporo.  We had an excellent dinner.  This guy greeted customers outside. That's my six-foot-tall husband for scale.  The sumo wrestler is …

In which I offer some advice to the Marketing Department at Ranken-Jordan Pediatric Bridge Hospital

Dispatch from the Seattle (area) Cesspit

And in other news, the War Zone Cesspit of Seattle/Tacoma continues to produce tales of woe, mostly caused by the political policies of the Far Left who run most cities around here.  They have favored criminals over victims, homeless over taxpaying citizens, and teachers unions over parents for decades.  Here is what those policies have …

Just a quick thought on the ultra-wealthy

Every Friday, the Wall Street Journal print edition has a section entitled Mansion, where they do stories on homes of the rich and famous, and merely rich.  Sometimes, they do a subject like "bought an old house and renovated it", and profile families who bought and renovated old houses.  There are also many stories about …
