No one should ever lose sight of the manifest benefits that western culture has bestowed upon the world, no matter how much the Left attempts to denigrate or dismantle it.

This year’s LIAC was great fun, and the weather was just perfect. It was mostly sunny, though windy. The temperatures were mostly in the 70s, which was just right for wandering around town. The crowds were manageable and there was enough seating everywhere. Here are some of the sights. Beautiful flowers everywhere Thomas and Cadence …

I sure hope the Eyer Sisters win the Bands category in the Leavenworth International Accordion Celebration. Here are Ivy on the accordion and Nelia on two different instruments. They call themselves Radio Helper. https://videopress.com/v/vYsY9UQi?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true Ivy and Nelia Eyer I think they were just wonderful.

Next to Autumn, Winter is my favorite season. I like cold weather, and I'd rather have it too cold than too warm. You can always bundle up against the cold, but you can't get more naked than naked when it's too hot. And believe me, I experienced both situations during my two years in grad …

For many years, aside from his posts and podcasts with Jewels Jones, Catturd’s visual ID was only his avatar, a white cat wearing black glasses.

We took a drive up to Leavenworth today, since I missed the Accordion Celebration back in June. It was a beautiful, warm day, in the 70s near us on the west side of the Cascades, and in the 90s in Leavenworth on the east side. When we arrived in town, we found a place to …
