Hubby and I have been on two cruises, on the luxury line Crystal Cruises. Both were Hillsdale College cruises, one to Alaska and one to Hawaii. The fact that both cruises left from the West Coast was a deciding factor. We took the Crystal Serenity to Alaska in 2016, and the Crystal Symphony to Hawaii …

Dystopia is moving in on Seattle and its suburbs quite rapidly this year. Crime is increasing, the homeless are literally taking over the sidewalks in downtown Seattle, and businesses are leaving due to the onerous Covid diktats of the Dictator in Olympia and his henchmen the Health Nazis. Headline stories today: Seattle sidewalks overrun by …
I don't know of a more memorable event in my long life than the eruption of the Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii, that we saw from the deck of the cruise ship Crystal Symphony in the summer of 2018. The volcano had been erupting for a few weeks before we got there in mid-July, and we …

If you thought Western Civilization was crumbling before your eyes, you might be right. Aside from all the crime, homelessness, shortages, skyrocketing food and fuel prices that affect us all, two stories this weekend will confirm it. The first story has to do with the "vaccine mandates" being forced on citizens by various governments, both …

The unfortunate year of 2021 is almost at its close, and I wish to recount many of the goings-on which have made it so unfortunate. From shortly after the new year made its appearance, and through the entire year, the populace in America has been subjected to unrelenting tyranny, from both the political and medical …

The Leftists who run Western Washington have been attempting to get people out of their individually-owned vehicles, and into "public" transportation for years. Their new "light-rail"/100-year-old technology choo-choo-train has been promoted twelve ways from Sunday, but of course the vast majority of citizens of this relatively low-density area still use their own private vehicles to …
Last weekend, the Pacific Northwest had some very high winds, which caused power outages and fallen trees across roadways all around Western Washington. I got in my car and headed down to the ferry dock in Edmonds, to see if I could capture the wind (well, not the wind, but maybe some effects!). Here's some …
Now that you have been welcomed to Detroit... Saturday night, we went to the Big Boy restaurant just a block from our hotel, and walked both ways. On the way, we saw this sign, and I just had to laugh. You may know that hotels and restaurants everywhere are having trouble hiring enough workers to …

One issue of the Wall Street Journal proves, in two articles, that RushBabe49 is one smart cookie. My readers will know that I am totally against the governments of the world basically requiring car-makers to build and sell electric cars, deeming them "zero-emission" and the only way to stop "global warming", or "climate change", or …
Over on the web site of the excellent publication, the Washington Free Beacon, I found what I think is the funniest (not funny ha-ha, but funny tragic) story so far this year. It seems that the Philadelphia-area transit agency, SEPTA, purchased a bunch of battery electric buses from a company called Proterra. The agency spent …
