Pat Caddell died yesterday from complications of a stroke. He and his good nature will be missed. We met Mr. Caddell on the Hillsdale Cruise to Hawaii last summer. For a guy who was a Democrat pollster for decades, he sounded surprisingly conservative in his lectures on the ship. We enjoyed his stories of political …
Snow-Capped
I got out this afternoon with the camera. There are a lot of plants and structures that are snow-capped. That Japanese Maple in the back yard sure looks funny with its tiny asymmetrical cap. Our neighborhood has a surfeit of dentists. The office has some nice landscaping, all capped with snow this week. These concrete …
Snow Birds
I love watching the birds that come to our seed and suet feeders in the back yard. Especially when it's snowing. Here's who showed up the last couple of days. Our Varied Thrush has a bug in her beak! They are carnivores, like their Robin cousins. A pair of Song Sparrows. They were fighting Juncos …
Pacific Northwest Snowstorm-Updated
This is our back yard last Sunday. This is the parking lot at work Monday. This is right out my front door about a half-hour ago. We love standing at our kitchen window and watching the birds at our two feeders (seed and suet). The cat likes watching them, too. We will get 4-6 inches …

Or, as Ben Shapiro puts it, New York Governor Cuomo wants to ban the Death Penalty...Except for Unborn Children; go ahead and kill those. Last week, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed into law the most comprehensive abortion law in the United States. This new law, passed by the now-100%-Democrat controlled Legislature, allows termination of …
Some of my favorite things
The Skagit Valley and its tulip fields is about a 45-minute drive from home. A ship's wake. I have been on the aft deck of an aircraft carrier, and seen that wake make a 90-degree turn in a very short time. My wedding ring, a "Mini Moebius" by Margaret Ostling. My beautiful violin, by David …
A Twitter Conversation I’d Like to See
Nancy Pelosi to President Donald Trump: Postpone that State of The Union address, due to YOUR government shutdown. President Donald Trump to Nancy Pelosi: Mrs. Speaker Pelosi, GO POUND SAND. Since I'm not on Twitter, even if this conversation happens, I'll miss it (well, not really). Go President Trump! Do Not give in to …
Nancy Pelosi Calls Border Walls “Immoral”
From my fave political cartoonist, Michael Ramirez. So, Hey Nancy! If Walls are Immoral, why do you LIVE BEHIND ONE?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY RUSH!
A very Happy Birthday to the one who keeps me sane, and gives me something to think about every day. Oh, and the one who inspired my handle, here on my blog and on Ricochet! Best Wishes from RushBabe49.
