On my favorite KOMO Web site today, there is a sad story about a King County worker assaulted, right outside the King County Courthouse in (used-to-be) beautiful Downtown Seattle. This is so disgusting that I am going to copy some of that story for you here. This is what the City of Seattle and County …
The first week of October, Hubby and I flew to Michigan, to attend the Hillsdale College 175th Anniversary Gala, and the dedication of the new Christ Chapel. The weather was fine on the flight out, and we got to see Mount Rainier from above. We arrived in Detroit, picked up the rental car, and headed …

Those pockets of non-civilization are called Indian Reservations, and they are everywhere in the United States. One …
And a big Thank You to JK Rowling for writing the novels that captivated me, an old lady. After seeing the first movie in 2001, I was totally hooked on Potter and his world of witches, wizards, spells, and potions. I was thoroughly entranced by the movie, and I thought the casting of the main …
Rats. Those wily little rodents are much in the news lately, after our President took jabs at Maryland Representative Elijah Cummings who represents Baltimore. It seems that more than one news outlet in that area has done stories, and documentaries describing the rat-infestation problems in Baltimore. It is well-known that rats follow humans wherever they …
School dreams. We all have them. There are numerous variations on the situation where you find yourself in class, and it's test day and you haven't reviewed any of the course material.
