I defy the authorities who tell me that, as an over-70-year-old person, I should be staying home and not leaving my house. I defy the Government Authorities who say this: The CDC guidance comes as two top infectious disease experts with ties to the federal government have advised people over 60 and those with underlying …

Who does NOT suffer from the shutdown of the Washington State economy?
The only ones not suffering are the exalted ones in Big Government, especially in DemocRat-controlled Washington State. They can wave their magic wands, and put thousands of people out of work in an instant. Their jobs are not at risk, and they have little care for those who have been cast aside, ostensibly to protect …

For Who Will Record the Truth…
...in these days of Darkness? Who will write down, for others to read, exactly what happens? Who will write the History of events in all the turmoil? Who will record exactly what is said, and meant, by President Donald Trump? How will posterity know exactly what kind of President he was, when the recorders are …
Only in Leftist Washington State
Today, the governor of Washington State, Jay Inslee (vying for most-stupid politician with Senator Patty Murray, "mom in tennis shoes"), has communicated that he is contemplating: The State May Release Incarcerated Inmates Early as a Safety Precaution Safety for WHOM?! One more indication that Leftists care more about Criminals than they do about the Taxpayers …
Dispatches from Furlough, Day Eight
As usual, I spoke too soon. Yes, our factory is re-opening next Monday, which is a good thing. Although I expect things to get pretty uncomfortable when we have to call or email our suppliers to cancel or push out deliveries on numerous orders. Believe me, that is the most difficult task for any buyer, …
Dispatches from Furlough, Day Seven
Yesterday was the first day I spent entirely at home. I didn't go out of the house, except to get the mail late in the afternoon. I did catch up on my Wall Street Journal, reading on my bed as usual. Protected by my Fierce Guard Cat. I did 26 minutes on my rowing machine, …
Hey, Washington Governor Inslee! Shut down the State for the entire month of April?
How, pray tell, do you expect the government of Washington to operate with no tax receipts? In case you hadn't noticed, the State runs on Sales Taxes and the B & O tax on all businesses, large and small, regardless of profits. No receipts, no revenue. What happens when the revenue stops? How many government …

A Great Lady
This is A Great Lady. She has maintained her equanimity in the midst of family turmoil, and a worldwide pandemic of epic proportions. She delivered a short speech today, thanking everyone for their efforts in responding to the Wuhan Coronavirus. Sorry, I can't link to it, since I don't do Social Media, and especially Facebook …
Dispatches from Furlough, Day Five
First, here's a little something I recorded last weekend, before my furlough even started. We had a massive hailstorm, which lasted about 15 minutes, and covered the back yard in snow. Some of it was still around in the morning, too. This was from my bedroom window on the second floor, and you can see …
Color me Surprised. Pleasantly surprised.
I can't believe I am actually saying this, but I think the normally-stupid Governor of Washington State actually did something very good today. This action leaves me shaking my head in bewilderment, but smiling. It so happens that, today, Inslee vetoed $445 Million in spending passed by the heavily-DemocRat Legislature. This is simply unbelievable! Finally, …
