Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #362: Sports and Games

I'm the world's biggest klutz, so I don't engage in many sports myself, but I have no problem watching, especially when the sport is squash. Hubby is a competitive squash player, and together we have been to many tournaments since we met in 2001. The farthest away we have been for a tournament is Vancouver, …

That flicker really wanted the hot-pepper suet!

Get the contortions this bird had to go through to eat our fine hot-pepper suet! The big suet feeder with the tail-rest holds ordinary suet, but our flicker went for the good stuff. https://videopress.com/v/L3384TIW?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true Contortions! I buy the suet at our local Wild Birds Unlimited store, and we sure go through a lot of it. …

You know, this is really getting tiresome… Washington and Seattle keep screwing their citizens, inviting federal intervention

The new state motto, pushed by the governor Fenty Fergie, and his AG Nick Brown, seems to be “Standing up to Trump”, regardless of how futile and costly to taxpayers it is. Our cost of living here just goes up and up, driven by high and rising fuel prices, increasing property taxes (and all other …

Come on, People, it’s SUMMER! Summer weather is always hot.

We have discovered that our local media MUST have something to get upset about, and try to get the public to panic. This week, it's the summer weather. The last time I checked, it was the end of August, and if I remember correctly, it's always hot, and the hot weather sometimes continues into September. …

A little something good from Washington State, for a change. Beauty in the Skagit Valley.

Earlier this week, Hubby and I had a little getaway to LaConner, situated on the Swinomish Channel. It’s a long tidal channel northwest of Seattle. 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 …

More to come…little preview of our mini-getaway to LaConner

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 …

We get what we tolerate: Store Closures Due to Theft

Here's a Link to an article on MyNorthwest.com. It shows how the Pacific Northwest's Leftist rulers are literally destroying the local economy by tolerating, and actually encouraging rampant theft and vandalism from its retail stores. Here's a quote from the article. We get what we tolerate. Late afternoon Tuesday, Fred Meyer’s parent company, Kroger, announced …

This is what we voted for when we voted Donald Trump back into office. As the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, she has done a masterful job sweeping out the many holdovers from the corrupt Biden administration. https://twitter.com/roddmartin/status/1957820810845978734?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ See below for more Some of the holdovers did the “illegal alien” thing, and self-deported when …
