What travel has mostly taught me is that people are people everywhere and always. And that we don't live in the only beautiful region of our country. Everywhere we have traveled has shown us that God has bestowed upon us a spectacular planet, with an infinite variety of landscapes and features. For the past two …

I love this topic! I often post photos of the power of Nature, and we have lots of those elements right here in the Pacific Northwest. My very favorite subject is Snoqualmie Falls, which is just a half-hour drive from our home. We go there often, just to stand behind the chain-link fence and view …
And no, I am not exaggerating. Not one little bit. There are two stories in the news today that literally make me sick to my stomach, and so angry I could ... I don't know what. Commit violence? Maybe. The first story, from yesterday, is about a young father in Virginia with end-stage kidney disease. …

I don't know of a more memorable event in my long life than the eruption of the Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii, that we saw from the deck of the cruise ship Crystal Symphony in the summer of 2018. The volcano had been erupting for a few weeks before we got there in mid-July, and we …

Aside from all the crime, homelessness, shortages, skyrocketing food and fuel prices that affect us all, two stories this weekend will confirm it.

Kira Davis has been on my radar for a long time. When I started this blog in 2010, her site was one of the first links in my sidebar (and remains today). Last year, I joined Locals.com, after hearing that she had a presence there. Locals works on a pay-to-play basis; you can follow people, …

I read in a Wall Street Journal article today that Walensky is being "coached by a media consultant"!!! I laughed out loud when I read that. Especially …
This week, I'll be starting at home, to capture some interesting objects around me. The first one is an empty bottle. Now, the bottle itself is unremarkable, a simple screw-top container. It's the labels on the bottle, which describe the contents, that make it interesting. A few years ago, a coworker of my husband came …

Since I am recovering from pneumonia, we mostly stayed home this weekend. On Saturday, New Years Day, I insisted on watching the big Hogwarts Reunion show on HBO Max. It was, simply, wonderful. I became a thorough Harry Potter fan in 2001, when we saw the first movie, and have been one ever since. I …
I rarely make New Years resolutions, since they are normally very hard to keep. But this year, I am. It will be basically a continuation of last year's informal resolution. For 2022, I WILL NOT COMPLY I saw this excellent meme in my Politically Incorrect Humor newsletter for today, and it perfectly conveys my attitude …
