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!

Snow-Capped
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 …
Pacific Northwest Snowstorm-Updated
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 …
Some of my favorite things
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 …

It’s Been A Year
2018 has been quite a year in the RB49 Universe. We survived just fine, but not without some bumps and bruises. Well, whose life doesn't have some bumps? On January 2, we got a new Grand-Niece, when my nephew became a Dad. She's a cutie, and I'm going to her first birthday party tomorrow. Also …

Winter is here. Local winters in past years.
Living in the Pacific Northwest (AKA Pacific North-Wet), means mostly rain and not much snow. However, the Cascade and Olympic Mountains are within a 2-hour drive from most places. Here are some pictures of the area where I live, from previous years. My own back yard bird feeder, with a junco and song sparrow. This …

Progressives. This.Is.Who.They.Are.
Thanks to James Freeman of the Wall Street Journal (in his Best of the Web newsletter yesterday) for excerpting this "Pravda on the Hudson", AKA New York Times, Op-Ed, by someone called Todd May. The title of the column is "Would Human Extinction be a Tragedy?" Emphasis mine. One might ask here whether...it would...be a …
