And still being a productive member of society. Today is my 70th birthday, and I don't feel a day over 69! Today was a day much like any other. Wake up at 5:10AM, dress, eat breakfast (after feeding the owner), leave for work and arrive at 6:00 on the dot. Do my normal job, fend …

That will seem like elementary school, compared to the new tie-up between two financial-data providers. Be afraid, be VERY afraid. You voluntarily sign up for a Facebook account, and you make a conscious decision to use Google products, like internet search, Gmail, and YouTube. You can decline to use Facebook, and there are alternate search …

...but I find myself in sympathy with a particular group of Muslims, whose culture is facing extinction. Over the last year, I have been reading in the Wall Street Journal about how China is closely observing all its people, placing cameras equipped with cutting-edge facial-recognition software, wherever the people are.

Last weekend, Hubby and I visited Uwajimaya, a local Asian store. There was a gorgeous exhibit of intricately-made dolls. Someone spent many hours making these authentic dolls in their gorgeous costumes. I was impressed!
I got out this afternoon with the camera. There are a lot of plants and structures that are snow-capped. That Japanese Maple in the back yard sure looks funny with its tiny asymmetrical cap. Our neighborhood has a surfeit of dentists. The office has some nice landscaping, all capped with snow this week. These concrete …
This is our back yard last Sunday. This is the parking lot at work Monday. This is right out my front door about a half-hour ago. We love standing at our kitchen window and watching the birds at our two feeders (seed and suet). The cat likes watching them, too. We will get 4-6 inches …
The Skagit Valley and its tulip fields is about a 45-minute drive from home. A ship's wake. I have been on the aft deck of an aircraft carrier, and seen that wake make a 90-degree turn in a very short time. My wedding ring, a "Mini Moebius" by Margaret Ostling. My beautiful violin, by David …
A very Happy Birthday to the one who keeps me sane, and gives me something to think about every day. Oh, and the one who inspired my handle, here on my blog and on Ricochet! Best Wishes from RushBabe49.
