Hubby had an appointment in the little town of North Bend, in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains this afternoon, so I went along with him. It had been a couple of years since I'd been there, and there's an outlet mall right on the way, so he dropped me there on his way to …

Finally-Nashville!
After the Hillsdale seminar was over, and the Ricochet folks had dispersed on Wednesday night, we had a day to visit Nashville proper. For the first time that week, we slept late on Thursday, and when we awoke, it was raining pretty hard outside. Not that we are not used to rain! We live in …
There is one good thing to come out of the draconian Health Nazi Covid rules
That one thing is the new concept of the "Virtual Annual Shareholder Meeting", now required by most companies, as their local rules forbid large gatherings. In the past, I could only attend the annual meeting of one of the companies whose stock I own, and that company is headquartered in my area. I thoroughly enjoyed …

Conspiracy Theory no longer? Classified report says that Wuhan Coronavirus might have originated in Communist Chinese Lab!
Well, well, well, a Mainstream Media outlet (KOMO in Seattle/Sinclair Broadcasting) may just have engaged in some actual Journalism for a change. This morning, at the top of their Web site, there is a story entitled Classified Study finds that Covid-19 could have originated in Chinese Lab. Now, this is a very intriguing story, as …
Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #146-Focus on the Details: Flying cross-country
On April 25th, my husband and I flew from Seattle to Nashville, for a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar, and to do some sightseeing and meeting with our friends from Ricochet.

It’s all in how you look at it, or whom you talk to. Police officers in Seattle are refused service.
Last week, there was a story in the news, carried by two publications. I read both stories, and was amazed at how different the perspectives were, at the two outlets. The subject of the stories was a Seattle chocolate shop, and how an employee refused service to a police officer. Both publications got the facts …
