I thought to myself: Aren't you pretty? So I turned it over. Pretty fall colors. Life's simple pleasures.

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #117: A Photo Walk on Dungeness Spit
In May of 2019, I took a little driving vacation by myself, to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State. One day, I went to one of my very favorite places in the world, the Dungeness Spit National Wildlife Refuge. I have been there dozens of times, and every time I see something new. The path …

Instant Halloween!
This morning when I went out the front door to walk across the street to our mailbox, I noticed that our neighborhood was shrouded in fog. We have a pear tree in the yard, and on my way back home I noticed that it was shrouded in spider webs, made more visible by the fog-deposited …
Eww!
Have you ever seen a house with a worse color? This one just popped up in my neighborhood. Yuck!
Retirement: Things I will NOT miss about my job.
I have been retired for about three weeks now. The first almost two weeks were spent on vacation, so they almost don't count. Here is a list of the many things I will not miss about my last job (I was there for 12 years). Punching a time-clock. After much of a career as a …

Structures …
Retirement. It’s bittersweet, for me.
Tomorrow, Monday, August 31, will be my last working day at my current job, which I have held for 12-2/3 years. That's the longest I have ever worked at any job in my entire working life. My original goal in life was to work forever, and never retire. Well, the Wuhan Coronavirus put an end …
Damn You, Jay Inslee.
Another notch in your (well, I was going to say gun, but you abhor guns) billy-club. Congratulations, you have destroyed another small business in Washington State. Another livelihood ruined, lives put in jeopardy by your "Rule by Decree". We have to destroy it in order to save it. You're lucky that the Sheeple of Washington …
Ruining Society Every Day
The so-called "Public Health" "Authorities", and the so-called "Press" (scare quotes fully intended) seem to be in collusion with the state government to ruin society. If Society means people interacting with each other for mutual benefit, Society is being ruined, decimated by the reactions of Government to the spread of the Wuhan Coronavirus. The lockdowns …
This made me laugh.
I have a presence on LinkedIn, but I don't do much with it, and soon I will be doing even less. My last work day is August 31, and then I finally retire. I do intend to do a post to that effect, so they can stop sending me job listings. I will probably still …
