Here's another unlikely place for a cat. There is no good spot for her to stand to jump up on top of the door. But she got there. Sorry for the poor picture quality-I took this with my iPod camera. https://dailypost.wordpress.com/photo-challenges/unlikely/
Amazon Calls Seattle’s Bluff-Three Cheers!
Most of you have heard of the new "Head Tax" Seattle is about to enact to hit business in the city. They are about to approve charging big companies up to $500 per employee per year, in order to pay for more services for the increasing numbers of homeless people in the city (maybe brought …
This Used to be My City..Welcome to 21st Century Seattle
I have lived in Everett, 20 miles north of Seattle, for eighteen years. Each passing year makes me happier that I moved out of Seattle. There are constantly stories in the local media demonstrating how the cost of living in Seattle has increased so much it is pricing residents out. People who live in Seattle …

Photo Challenge: Lines, by Man and by Nature
When I took this picture of the forward passenger deck of the Washington State Ferry Puyallup, the lines just drew me in. Curved lines, straight lines, against the horizon line in the distance. And then there are the lines created in the sky by Nature-clouds which you would normally think of as curved line up …

Photo Challenge..Prolific Singers and Musicians
Every year on the day after Christmas, the University Unitarian Church in Seattle puts on a full-length Handel's Messiah Sing-along/Play-along. They do the full Messiah, all the arias, all the choruses, and all the recitatives; not a note is left out. Everyone sings everything that is within his or her vocal range-no soloists. You may …

I usually have an aisle seat on an airplane, but this time I had the window seat, and I saw some beautiful scenery below. We picked up the rental SUV, and drove south to the city of Colorado Springs, where we …

Guest Author on Calling-all-RushBabes-Trolling in Downtown Seattle?
My hubby has done an absolutely hilarious post over at Ricochet, and I just had to let my followers here see it. The new mayor of Seattle is seriously considering imposition of "congestion pricing" to discourage people from driving into the city in their own automobiles, and "reduce vehicle emissions" to counter "climate change" (as …

Sunset…An End, and a Beginning
The evening of the first day of our cruise to Alaska aboard the Crystal Serenity was beautiful, and clear. The ship left Vancouver BC just as the sun was setting. We stood at the rail of the Promenade Deck and watched for long minutes, as the sun set over the channel. We knew when we …
A Pretty Good Argument Against Only Owning an Electric Car
This past weekend, my hubby and I were watching TV (pretty rare for us), and he tuned in to the NHK World program, an English feature of the Japanese network NHK. They had a very interesting program dealing with how technology helps Japan deal with the many natural disasters they face, living on the Ring …
