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 …

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 …

It seems that the Philadelphia-area transit agency, SEPTA, purchased a bunch of battery electric buses from a company called Proterra. The agency spent …

Ahhh, getaways. When you're retired, you can schedule a getaway whenever you want, since every day is a weekend. However, I just had to do this one first, as a response to Tina's photo. Hers was the outside, and mine is the inside of the Denver airport. In 2015, we went to a Hillsdale College …

We hear and read about the advent of so-called "clean energy" sources, which are scheduled to take over from dirty sources such as coal, oil, and natural gas all over the world. The European Union, The USA, China, and many other countries are embarking on the energy transition with dispatch; banning internal-combustion vehicles, institution "cap …
How can every single automaker plan to go all-electric? This picture just blew me away. It is from Twitter, but I could copy it without actually going to Twitter, which I despise. The description of the above situation is as follows: Green madness. Electric cars belonging to the City of Paris. No one will buy …

One of our favorite day trips, here in Northwest Washington State is a ferry ride and drive to the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge on the Olympic Peninsula. In the afternoon on Friday, we headed down to the Edmonds Ferry Dock, to take our ferry ride to Kingston on the Kitsap Peninsula for the first leg …
