Seattle area Independence Day festivities get underway with a Bang. Report from the War Zone

Here are just a few of the headline stories to get the long July 4 weekend off to a bang-up start in the Seattle area. Before the hot weekend even starts, and very near my neighborhood, we have this explosive story: (courtesy of KOMO News) Teenage Girl Fatally Shot During Altercation at Alderwood Mall. The …

…Amid Widespread Opposition

We American conservatives have had a pretty good idea of what was coming in a Biden administration, and they live lived up to the horrendous expectations we had. Every single appointment and hire for every government department and three-letter agency has been a Leftist Activist, or a DEI hire, right down to the Joint Chiefs …

A little item that may interest you. This is your government.

I told you this would happen!

I believe I laid out, in my article on electric cars, that they do not work in cold weather.  Well, it seems that I was 100% correct on that.  I haven't laughed so hard in months at a story.  This is just priceless!   https://twitter.com/BohemianAtmosp1/status/1747433060830765495?s=20 Cold Weather Yields Frozen Junk for Tesla Owners Funny, but …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #280: Last Chance for 2023

This last Photo Challenge of 2023 is supposed to be your best photos of the year.  I think I was exceptionally fortunate to be on the roof of the Bellevue Square parking garage on a clear day at the end of December. The Mountain (Mount Rainier) was out in all its splendor. I'm proud of …

The State of Washington: East Vs West

The State of Washington is divided by the North-South Cascade Mountains, a line of "extinct" volcanoes.  The scare-quotes are real (see 1980's eruption of Mount St. Helens).  The climate (in more ways than one) of each half of the state is dramatically different.  The Western half is known as the "wet" half, due to the …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #271: Contrasts

My first set of contrasts this week is Desolate/Verdant.  First is a photo taken right along my drive to and from work every day.  There is a plot of land that is the most desolate, depressing place I can imagine.  I have no idea who owns the land, or how it got this way, but …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #268: Tell us Why

Sorry this is a week late, but I guess better late than never.  As for the photos that are my favorites, I have exactly three which I think are my most memorable.  Both were taken within a few feet of my front door.  The first one is a picture I always come back to.  It …

The Government of the City of Everett, WA is a bunch of Chumps

On my way home from work this afternoon, I followed a bus run by Everett Transit.  And then I burst out laughing.  Take a look at this, and I will tell you why.  And, by the way, this is funny-tragic, not funny ha-ha. It seems that our all-environmentalist all the way City of Everett bought …
