The Fair…and some Dismay

So far, this has been an upsetting year all around. So the brief interlude at the Puyallup Fair was a welcome getaway from the the ugliness around us. We went on a weekday (last Friday), so the crowds were light, parking was plentiful, and the exhibits we wanted to see were open. First stop: 4H …

China turning into a Potemkin Country?

I came across this story in the Epoch Times about a mostly-unknown crisis in Communist China. Their population is rapidly aging, and since the huge re-estate collapse their "social insurance" program is in big trouble. Due to the disastrous one-child policy, which led to female infanticide as well as a shrinking overall population, there is …

You know, this is really getting tiresome… Washington and Seattle keep screwing their citizens, inviting federal intervention

The new state motto, pushed by the governor Fenty Fergie, and his AG Nick Brown, seems to be “Standing up to Trump”, regardless of how futile and costly to taxpayers it is. Our cost of living here just goes up and up, driven by high and rising fuel prices, increasing property taxes (and all other …

A little something good from Washington State, for a change. Beauty in the Skagit Valley.

Earlier this week, Hubby and I had a little getaway to LaConner, situated on the Swinomish Channel. It’s a long tidal channel northwest of Seattle. On the West side of the Channel is the Swinomish Indian Reservation, and on the West side is the picturesque town of LaConner. We go there often, as it’s only …

More to come…little preview of our mini-getaway to LaConner

I decided to extend the lunch a couple of days, since I thought we were in need of a short break from home. Drive …

We get what we tolerate: Store Closures Due to Theft

Here's a Link to an article on MyNorthwest.com. It shows how the Pacific Northwest's Leftist rulers are literally destroying the local economy by tolerating, and actually encouraging rampant theft and vandalism from its retail stores. Here's a quote from the article. We get what we tolerate. Late afternoon Tuesday, Fred Meyer’s parent company, Kroger, announced …

Harmeet Dhillon helping to drain the DC Swamp

This is what we voted for when we voted Donald Trump back into office. As the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, she has done a masterful job sweeping out the many holdovers from the corrupt Biden administration. https://twitter.com/roddmartin/status/1957820810845978734?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ See below for more Some of the holdovers did the “illegal alien” thing, and self-deported when …

Did you know that people often make the wrong “climate choices”?

Yes, that is a real question. In fact, it's the headline of an article on the KOMO Web site. The article, specifically referencing dogs, is originally from the Associated Press. I am going to reprint that article here in its entirety, for the pleasure of my readers. Believe me, this will make you laugh out …
