Waterfalls, and More waterfalls!
On Sunday, Hubby and I went to our very favorite park, Tumwater Falls Park in Olympia, which is a long way from our home in Everett. The park was closed much of last year, but has now re-opened, and we could hardly wait to get there! Well, the park looked even better than it did …

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 …

However, Nature doesn't use very many absolutely straight lines, so one way to spot a man-made structure is to check for straight lines.

Yippee!! I finished it!!
That would be Andrew Roberts's book, Winston Churchill, Walking With Destiny, all 964 pages of it. All 964 thin, single-spaced pages. I figure it took me about six months to read it, in fits and starts. It lives on my bedside table, right where I can see it, so I just decided to push on through. …
