On the West side of the Channel is the Swinomish Indian Reservation, and on the West side is the picturesque town of LaConner. We go there often, as it’s only …
We have Ricochet friends who just moved from LosAngeles to Anacortes, and now that they both are up here, we scheduled lunch for yesterday, and included our other friend from Seattle. I decided to extend the lunch a couple of days, since I thought we were in need of a short break from home. Drive …

This week's theme really made me happy, since I am always on the lookout for photos incorporating all those elements.

As is becoming normal, the news lately is full of tales of filth, trash, murder, miscarriages of justice, and censorship. First up, the new "Hate Crime Snitch Line" is now up and running.
