Remember all those who gave their lives, in defense of your Liberty.

RushBabe49 SCORES on Ricochet
I wrote a Ricochet post on the dustup between some students and a biology professor at Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, and the total lack of publicity of this by the local "mainstream" media. So now my RB49 Followers can get a taste of Ricochet, since my post was promoted from the Member Feed …
Weekly Photo Challenge…Evanescent
What could be more evanescent than cut flowers? Once cut, they only last for a few days, but those few days immeasurably improve the lives of those who see them. My best girlfriend gave me pretty flowers for my birthday last month, and we put them in a vase on the kitchen table. Remarkably, they …
Danger! Photo Challenge at the Grand Canyon
When I saw these young people at the Grand Canyon, I said a little prayer that no one would trip. They are brave! https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/danger/
Be Very Careful What You Wish For, Seattle
Tomorrow is May 1, or May Day, or "Workers of the World Unite" day. In Seattle, in the everlasting spirit of the WTO Riots of 1999, various leftist student, activist, and Anarchist groups get together and march for workers' and immigrants' "rights". They normally start in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, and march down Pine Street …
No Kidding…The SJW* Haggadah
My followers will know that I am Jewish. Each year, my husband and I go to my sister's house for Passover, and there are often over 12 people there. The “regular” Haggadah my sister normally uses dates from the early 1980s, and she thought she’d bring our Seder into the 21st Century this year. …
Surprise! What IS that on my plate?
Unlike many younger people these days, I don't normally take pictures of my food when eating out, or post them on social media (I am not on Facebook or Twitter anyway). But this time, on our cruise to Alaska last summer, I just had to capture this. It was the final night of the cruise, …
68 Years Ago Today…
On April 13, 1949, a huge 7.1-magnitude earthquake hit the Seattle area. Buildings in the downtown areas of Seattle, Tacoma, and Olympia were badly damaged. The owner of this car probably wasn't able to drive it home that day! Structures in areas of the cities built on fill were totally destroyed, and streets crumbled when …
Weekly Photo Challenge…Dense
Where I live, in a small city, the housing is mostly single-family homes with yards. Even the downtown area isn't very dense. Then, there's New York City, which has to be the epitome of "dense". In Manhattan, the buildings are built cheek-by-jowl, and many buildings are very high. The majority of residents of Manhattan live …
Easy Being Green…Gardens I’ve Seen
I hate green. Green is my least favorite color, at least in clothing and accessories and household goods. I don't wear green on Saint Patrick's Day, or any other day, for that matter. And I'm the opposite of an "environmental wacko", since I don't believe that humans are a blot on the landscape, or destroying …
