The barrel of posies is out in front of the Leavenworth Pizza Company, on US2, across from downtown Leavenworth. They are so colorful! Here's the Link to Cee's June 22 FOTD post.

CFFC: Vehicle Details
First, let's define "vehicle". Did you know that the derivation of the word "Vehicle" comes from the Latin word for "to carry"? So, a vehicle doesn't have to have wheels, or be propelled by an outside force. It just has to carry something or someone. I spent ten years as a hospital pharmacy technician in …
Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #204: Doors
Since last Thursday, Hubby and I have been in Washington's Bavarian Village of Leavenworth for the International Accordion Celebration. The town, and just about every building is decorated with scenes Bavarian, inside and out. We stayed at a different hotel this time, and it has a plethora of decorated doors. Starting with the entrance door. …
Are you worried about high gas prices?
The header photo shows the level of gasoline prices in my neighborhood of Western Washington. Our Dictator has said nothing about the high prices, probably because he is happy with them. He thinks that, the higher the price of gas goes, the more of his subjects will buy expensive electric cars. And he is happy …
CMMC: Midweek Madness. Letter “H”
In my life, the most important thing that starts with the letter "H" is Hillsdale. Ever since we found out about the College in Michigan, which teaches Classical values, Western Civilization, and the Liberal Arts, my husband and I have been big supporters of the small school which accepts NOT ONE PENNY of government money, …

Is Sound Transit’s Link Light Rail a rolling drug den or a rolling homeless shelter?
Sound Transit is the Western Washington “light rail” project, for which people in a large area of the Puget Sound (much of it out of reach of the choo-choo train for decades) pay a property tax, a sales tax, and a car-registration tax every year. The first leg of the train ran from downtown Seattle …
Sunday Stills Monthly Color Challenge: #Teal or #Aqua
As usual, my favorite example of a natural Teal coloring is Diablo Lake in the North Cascades. There is a beautiful overlook mini-park just east of the town of Newhalem, and Hubby and I go there a couple of times every year. The unusual color of the water is caused by glacial runoff, and the …

The Destructive Effects of Leftist Good Intentions
I live in Washington State, which is governed (ruled?) by a heavily DemocRat legislature and ruled by a far-Left DemocRat Dictator (who has been ruling by decree since March of 2020). In my legislative district, both senators and "representatives" are, of course, DemocRats. Yesterday in the mail, I received a "2022 Session Report" from one …

Did you know that there’s a Freudian Truck Line?
Well, I didn't either, until we drove up behind one of their trucks on our road trip. How's that for a Freudian name for your trucking company? Superego Holding! For those of you who didn't take Psychology 101 in college, the "Superego", according to Sigmund Freud, is a person's conscience, the part of his mind …
