If you follow the Northwest news at all, you will be familiar with the story of the environmentalists behind the drive to remove dams on the Snake River, to improve habitat for endangered salmon. Never mind that removal of those dams would also result in the loss of many megawatts of clean, carbon-free energy production …
In the Chinese Zodiac, 2020 is a Rat year. Now, most people don't have very nice associations with the Rat, since they bring to mind ideas like Bubonic Plague, Lab Rat, filth, vermin, rat traps, and "dirty rat". Rats are normally viewed as pests, and most of us would scream and run away if we …

As 2019 ends, and 2020 approaches, I have to say that it was a pretty fine year for our little family (Me, Hubby, and Kitty).

In an editorial, Mr. Remnick says the the impeachment by the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives is all about THE FUTURE OF THE PLANET. Unbeknownst to himself, Remnick has single-handedly handed President Trump power over the entire planet. Somehow, I …

Less than a year ago, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church was granted Independence from the main body of Russian Orthodoxy. There is now an independent Ukrainian Orthodox Church, with its own hierarchy, free of the Russian yoke. Even though I am a Jew, I love Christmas music, and one of my main favorites has a new …

By the Calendar, and by the Sun, today is the first day of Winter. Sunset today was 4:18PM. Since in my neck of the woods it's 43 degrees and raining, with nearly two inches of rain in the past three days, I went back to the Archives of Winters Past for some photos. Happy Winter …
