Everybody has to start somewhere

I have a friend who just started his own WordPress blog, and in a comment on his new site, I told him that everybody has to start somewhere.  Which is true.  We should cut new bloggers, new students, and new businesses a lot of slack, since newbies often make mistakes,  If they learn from their …

CMMC: July letter, “L” at the end of the word

Welllll...  Let's see what we can come up with with the final letter L. How about some Seagulls? This guy really just posed for me. My favorite-waterfall. They are in New York, Olympia, Washington, and Snoqualmie, Washington. How about a mural, or two? They are in North Bend, Washington, and Hilo, Hawaii. There is a …

Sunday Stills: Going on a Road Trip!

Since we have been married (2003), Hubby and I have taken five big road-trips.  In 2006, I played with my local orchestra at Carnegie Hall in New York (summers there have slots open for student and amateur orchestras to play for the local audience-our concert got standing ovations).  After the concert, we rented a car …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #208: Summer Vibes

Summer time, and the living is easy.  Right?  Summer is when many people go on vacations, the kids are out of school, and there are no heating bills (but there are cooling bills!).  Heat doesn't agree with me, so summer is not my favorite season of the year; but we have gone on some great …

Dispatch from the deteriorating Puget Sound area

Here in the Seattle area, like in many cities across America, we are seeing a deterioration of many different areas of society.  Public schools are failing, having been closed for many months during the Covid pandemic (by governments).  Parents are pulling their kids out of public schools, so reduced numbers of students lead to less …

The first consumer product designed for the Great Reset?

The Swiss company, On Holdings, manufactures running shoes.  I first heard about this company in the Wall Street Journal, in an article about their new "Sustainable" running shoe model, the CloudNeo.  This shoe is designed to be used, worn out, and then returned to the company for recycling.  For maybe the first time, a consumer …

Biden bestowed the highest civilian honor on an anti-police homosexual activist

...who just so happens to lead the US Women's Soccer (socialist sport) Team, which has done much better than the men.  Megan Rapinoe is a smart-ass who has no compunctions about trashing police and her own country.  She is thoroughly undeserving of the high honor of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and over at RedState.com, …

CFFC: Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: City Structures

I've traveled to cities large and small, old and new, in my 73 years.  In all of my travels, my very favorite city is an old one, a college town in England that has been settled for around 2,000 years.  I first went there in 1984 with my first husband.  We liked it so much, …

It’s a Mammoth Discovery!

Quite literally!  In the Yukon region of Canada, some miners came upon a natural wonder.  They found a 30,000-year-old, well-preserved Woolly Mammoth baby.  The mummified remains were well-protected by the near-frozen ground in which they were found during mining excavations. The article on Fox News describes the state of preservation, and other background information on …
