Who do you think said these words of wisdom?

In my reading and listening, I came across a set of words of wisdom that very much impressed me.  Reading them, it seems like the one who said them had a very good grasp of morality, and human behavior.  The wise person who handed down these words was an important person, and wanted those who …

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 …

Loosening Ties

For most of my adult life, I have been a lover of classical music, and especially chamber music.  I got my first taste of playing chamber music in the sixth grade in school, as my string quartet played for other classes of students.  I remember being awfully proud of being able to play beautiful music …

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,” …

Wordless Wednesday: Flying High

Terri's Wordless Wednesday topic of High #Flight inspired me to go back 12 years, to General Aviation Day at our local Paine Field in 2010.  They had a variety of old airplanes on the ground, and in the air.  The day was what a photographer would describe as "cloudy bright", which is great for taking …

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 …

The Destructive Effects of Leftist Good Intentions

I live in Washington State, which is governed (ruled?) by a heavily DemocRat legislature and ruled by a far-Left DemocRat Dictator (who has been ruling by decree since March of 2020).  In my legislative district, both senators and "representatives" are, of course, DemocRats.  Yesterday in the mail, I received a "2022 Session Report" from one …

The biggest reason to reject both electric cars, and a “cashless” society

Think about it. What obvious characteristic do both electric cars and a "cashless" society (payments only allowed in digital format) possess? Here's another question. Who provides the electricity you use to power your home appliances, heating and air-conditioning, and all your electronics? Think about that, and it will lead you to the answer to my …

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 …
