Herewith, some horrid examples showing that the government that is supposed to be Of the People, By the People, and For the People, is nothing but Of, By, And For Moneyed Donors. Read these stories and weep. Really, these stories will bring you to tears, and hopefully motivate you to fight back. https://twitter.com/RastaGuerilla/status/1841488252861133311 This one, …

My headline is not a joke. I visited four media web sites, including some known as being impartial and conservative. Not one had a banner headline about the devastation in Eastern Tennessee and Western North Carolina. Entire towns are being swept away, millions of people are losing homes and property, more millions are without power, …

Living in the Pacific Northwest, we have lots of shorelines within a few minutes, or hours drive. And we have lakes and rivers, which also have shorelines, along with the oceans. The shoreline closest to me is along Silver Lake. This was early in the morning on my way to work. About 50% of the …

On By rushbabe49In art, Nature, Photo challenges, photography, Travel and Vacations3 Comments

Way back in the 1970s, a favorite phrase describing something you liked was "Cool, man!" Living in a place with abundant bodies of water, and the nickname of "Evergreen State", you'd think that cool colors would be everywhere. You would be correct! Sometimes, though, you get too much of a good thing, with vegetation run …

The highway (Washington 20) mostly parallels the Skagit River, which is the primary source of hydroelectric power for the Seattle area. On this trip, our …
