Mask Mandate Mentioned Again

King County, Washington, is in a "high" Covid transmission condition, so as usual the Health Fuhrer has said that they are considering mask mandates again.  That means it's time for Calling-all-RushBabes to post some new "mask memes".  MASKS DO NOT PREVENT TRANSMISSION OF ANY VIRUS.  They are just virtue-signaling now. I believe the above to …

Independence Day celebration

As we have done in previous years, Hubby and I packed the picnic dinner, new chairs, and blanket, and headed over to Bellevue to watch the fireworks.  Unlike last year, this year's crowd was back to normal, filling the lawn at the Bellevue Downtown Park with picnic blankets, chairs, coolers, and even some shelters. And …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Treasures

I appreciate this week's challenge topic, because I have been prompted in more ways than one to be grateful for all the treasures that make life in our America wonderful.  It would be so easy to wallow in misery at all the country's problems, but we definitely need to step back and appreciate what we …

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 …

Why do so many in government and media ignore what’s staring them in the face regarding Covid vaccines?

It seems that the Dictator of Washington State, and his Lieutenant Dictator have both tested positive for Covid-19.  Both people have been fully-vaccinated and had their booster shots, just like their Overlords in the CDC recommended.  Here is what he said: “I am experiencing very mild symptoms and am most glad I’m vaccinated and boosted,” …

Snohomish County Health can go pound sand

It's not about "public health" anymore, it's about Control of The Population.  This story and graph appeared in the Mill Creek View, a free newspaper.  The two definitely tell exactly opposite stories.  Which would you believe? The story tells you that the local public health "authorities" recommend that the always-obedient people resume mask wearing indoors …

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 …

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 …

View From The 21st Floor-Birthday Dinner

Today, April 16, is my 73rd birthday.  Last night, Hubby and I went out for my birthday dinner at one of our favorite restaurants, Daniel's Broiler in downtown Bellevue.  We normally go there for both our birthdays, and on our anniversary in October.  We were not allowed to go there in 2020, as the Dictator …
