As usual, I spoke too soon. Yes, our factory is re-opening next Monday, which is a good thing. Although I expect things to get pretty uncomfortable when we have to call or email our suppliers to cancel or push out deliveries on numerous orders. Believe me, that is the most difficult task for any buyer, …
Dispatches from Furlough, Day Seven
Yesterday was the first day I spent entirely at home. I didn't go out of the house, except to get the mail late in the afternoon. I did catch up on my Wall Street Journal, reading on my bed as usual. Protected by my Fierce Guard Cat. I did 26 minutes on my rowing machine, …
Hey, Washington Governor Inslee! Shut down the State for the entire month of April?
How, pray tell, do you expect the government of Washington to operate with no tax receipts? In case you hadn't noticed, the State runs on Sales Taxes and the B & O tax on all businesses, large and small, regardless of profits. No receipts, no revenue. What happens when the revenue stops? How many government …

Something lighthearted for today
I have always wanted to do this. Got out the trusty phone and pointed it in video mode while going through the carwash. I love the way the soap and water run down the windshield. Cheap thrills.
A Great Lady
This is A Great Lady. She has maintained her equanimity in the midst of family turmoil, and a worldwide pandemic of epic proportions. She delivered a short speech today, thanking everyone for their efforts in responding to the Wuhan Coronavirus. Sorry, I can't link to it, since I don't do Social Media, and especially Facebook …
Dispatches from Furlough, Day Five
First, here's a little something I recorded last weekend, before my furlough even started. We had a massive hailstorm, which lasted about 15 minutes, and covered the back yard in snow. Some of it was still around in the morning, too. This was from my bedroom window on the second floor, and you can see …
Color me Surprised. Pleasantly surprised.
I can't believe I am actually saying this, but I think the normally-stupid Governor of Washington State actually did something very good today. This action leaves me shaking my head in bewilderment, but smiling. It so happens that, today, Inslee vetoed $445 Million in spending passed by the heavily-DemocRat Legislature. This is simply unbelievable! Finally, …
I had to pass this on. Trump to Schumer.
Shocked! They were just Shocked. President Trump told it like it is. Schumer deserves everything the President throws at him. Like many of my Ricochet friends, I Thank God for President Donald Trump. This is why I voted for him the first time in 2016. He fights back against all the slander and slime the …
Dispatches from Furlough, a continuing series
Today is officially Day Four of my two-week furlough from work, due to the economic effects of the Wuhan Coronavirus. Last Friday just before noon, we were told that our aerospace manufacturing factory was shutting down for two weeks, due to a falloff in business, including customers pushing out and cancelling orders. For the purposes …

Many thanks to the Post Author, James Gawron. Also, many of the commenters provided their own links to other stories, which …
