Hubby and I have a new great-niece, who just turned one year old. For her birthday, I went to the book store to find a nice picture book (we will not be giving her any toys, just books for birthdays and Chanukah). What I found was not very nice, in my opinion. It seemed to …
It’s Been A Year
2018 has been quite a year in the RB49 Universe. We survived just fine, but not without some bumps and bruises. Well, whose life doesn't have some bumps? On January 2, we got a new Grand-Niece, when my nephew became a Dad. She's a cutie, and I'm going to her first birthday party tomorrow. Also …
Merry Christmas to All

Winter is here. Local winters in past years.
Living in the Pacific Northwest (AKA Pacific North-Wet), means mostly rain and not much snow. However, the Cascade and Olympic Mountains are within a 2-hour drive from most places. Here are some pictures of the area where I live, from previous years. My own back yard bird feeder, with a junco and song sparrow. This …

Progressives. This.Is.Who.They.Are.
Thanks to James Freeman of the Wall Street Journal (in his Best of the Web newsletter yesterday) for excerpting this "Pravda on the Hudson", AKA New York Times, Op-Ed, by someone called Todd May. The title of the column is "Would Human Extinction be a Tragedy?" Emphasis mine. One might ask here whether...it would...be a …
In honor of Chanukah, pictures of Israel
This week marks the holiday of Chanukah, and the victory of the Maccabees over the Greek desecrators of the Temple. The ancient Jews, fighting for their homeland, were fierce warriors, who were not finally defeated until the Romans did so in 70AD with the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. Here are some pictures …

Are your gift ideas just not making it? Well, try something from Tiffany. That distinctive blue box under the tree will …
Giving Thanks
I have a wealth of things to be thankful for this year. No health problems, no home disasters, no natural disasters. A promotion and big raise, and lots of praise at work, where I make a difference every day. I am so fortunate to have been born in the United States of America, the very …
Goodbye old friend, farewell to my trusty old camera
I'm pretty old-fashioned. I don't own a smartphone, and most of my photography is done with an advanced point-and-shoot camera. I loved my Canon SX20IS camera, not the least because it operated on four AA batteries. I never had to worry about its battery dying, because I always kept a spare set of batteries in …

Did you vote Democrat on Tuesday?
You did? This is what you voted for. Antifa protesters outside the home of Tucker Carlson, a Fox News commentator. Protesters outside the home of Ajit Pai, the Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission. Mr. Pai has a wife and children, who were frightened by the angry people shouting outside their home. They had to …
