Dystopia is moving in on Seattle and its suburbs quite rapidly this year. Crime is increasing, the homeless are literally taking over the sidewalks in downtown Seattle, and businesses are leaving due to the onerous Covid diktats of the Dictator in Olympia and his henchmen the Health Nazis. Headline stories today: Seattle sidewalks overrun by …
What travel has mostly taught me is that people are people everywhere and always. And that we don't live in the only beautiful region of our country.

In one of his first acts as the new governor of Virginia, Glenn Youngkin issued an executive order giving Parents control over whether their children are required to wear a dehumanizing mask in school. School teachers (drunk with the power of their union) couldn't have that. In private messages, many teachers have issued various threats …

Kira Davis has been on my radar for a long time. When I started this blog in 2010, her site was one of the first links in my sidebar (and remains today). Last year, I joined Locals.com, after hearing that she had a presence there. Locals works on a pay-to-play basis; you can follow people, …
