Just recently, I re-discovered a band that I liked way back when they were new, in the 1970s. Now, I could kick myself for not going to see Jethro Tull when they were in town. For some unknown reason, maybe a snatch of tune heard over someone's PA system, or a random mention in a …

Strange Beauty-Twisted, yet Supporting Life
A couple of miles south of my house, next to a Les Schwab Tire Center, is a small wetland, populated by mostly dead trees. I have always wondered what that piece of property started out as, and how it got to be the way it is now. Last week, I took my camera and got …

A Post for Jerusalem Day
And what is "Jerusalem Day", you ask? It is a holiday in the State of Israel, celebrating the 51st anniversary of the Jewish Liberation of Jerusalem, uniting it as one city, the GREATEST City, in the State of Israel.

Whirlwind Trip to Colorado, Hillsdale National Leadership Seminar
Last week, RB49 and Hubby flew to Denver for a Hillsdale College National Leadership Seminar. I usually have an aisle seat on an airplane, but this time I had the window seat, and I saw some beautiful scenery below.

A Pretty Good Argument Against Only Owning an Electric Car
This past weekend, my hubby and I were watching TV (pretty rare for us), and he tuned in to the NHK World program, an English feature of the Japanese network NHK.

Every Picture Tells a Story
Each element of this picture tells a bit of my story. From the sign on the left of this shelf, you can see that this is above my desk at work. People who come over know at a glance that I am available to help them with their issue. To the right of that sign …
It’s A Miracle!
It's a miracle of modern technology and medicine. See the picture below. This is me. I now look like this all day while I'm awake. Please notice that I am not wearing glasses. For the first time in 63 years, I can see the world without Coke-bottle glasses, and that's a miracle in my book. …
Silence afloat…Just the wind in the sails
I love to look up while sailing, and capture the sail against the sky. The only sounds are the wind in the rigging, and the swishing of the hull through the water. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/silence-2/
…On the Other Hand… 2017 Wrap-up
2017 was an "on the other hand" year for RushBabe49. For every great thing that happened, there was something disgusting in return. No good thing goes un-punished, and 2017 was a great example. Starting in January with the inauguration of duly-elected President Donald Trump. Election night in 2016 was the most fun I had had …
