With Novel Coronavirus spreading like wildfire everywhere in the world now, perhaps you are wondering how it all started, where this virus came from in the first place. You might wish to know how it was that, last fall in China, someone in the medical establishment there noticed some cases of a particularly nasty pneumonia …

Mr. Bezos has decided to throw away Ten Billion Dollars. Yes, the world's wealthiest man has "Committed 10 Billion Dollars to Fight Climate Change". So, he is spending his own fortune, giving money to "scientists, activists, and non-profits" who are intent on saving the planet from climate change. Activists?? Non-Profits??

I just realized one thing about Rush that I had never thought of before. I wonder if it has also occurred to the rest of Rush Limbaugh's loyal audience, that he is human, and he might not be around forever. I think most of us just took it for granted that, from noon to 3:00PM …

If you follow the Northwest news at all, you will be familiar with the story of the environmentalists behind the drive to remove dams on the Snake River, to improve habitat for endangered salmon. Never mind that removal of those dams would also result in the loss of many megawatts of clean, carbon-free energy production …

As 2019 ends, and 2020 approaches, I have to say that it was a pretty fine year for our little family (Me, Hubby, and Kitty). There were no disasters, no serious illnesses, only a few bumps in the road. Our Country has been wracked and torn by the disgusting DemocRATS impeaching President Trump, but he …
This past weekend, Hubby and I made a trip to the local Asian Grocery Store. Uwajimaya has two big stores in the Seattle area, the flagship store in the International District of Seattle, and a new branch in Bellevue where we went. This family-owned store has been in business since 1928, and stocks a bewildering …
On Friday, Hubby and I took a drive up to Snoqualmie Falls Park, near North Bend (in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains). We went late in the day, and the sun was nearly setting, but the Falls was well-lit from where we stood. It was a beautiful, crisp Autumn day, and the drive up …
