We just returned from our trip to the Carolinas. On our last day, our friend took us for a pleasant walk through downtown Aiken, SC. The day was sunny and warm, and it was pretty quiet on the main drag, with its angle-parking (free!), and little shops and restaurants. Wall paintings, downtown Aiken It seems …
Neither hubby nor I had ever been to the Carolinas, so when we received an invitation to a Hillsdale College Economic Forum in Charlotte, I jumped at the chance to visit. What clinched it was the fact that one of the speakers would be the young database guru who goes by the X handle of …
Once again, it's time for a foray into the local Dystopia known as the Seattle area. And this week, there are some doozies for you. First off, earlier this week, a homeless man was found to have a 5-year-old girl in his tent in a local homeless camp. People in the area said that "the …
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 …
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 …

To start with, a couple of cute cartoons. What cat owner has not been through this? And a funny meme that I sent a friend who has two new cats. One of them is a breed seen below. And now, what you’ve all been salivating for…It’s Simon’s Cat! https://twitter.com/simonscat/status/1884943574510322125?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ https://twitter.com/simonscat/status/1884225156077461623?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ One more cartoon.

Just when you thought it was safe to go about your (increasingly constrained) life in our beautiful state, news breaks about what our Democrat Overlords have in store for us.

I am a Littermate, a follower of all-around good old Country Boy and Limbaugh-loving Conservative commentator Catturd. For many years, aside from his posts and podcasts with Jewels Jones, Catturd’s visual ID was only his avatar, a white cat wearing black glasses. Here are some representations courtesy of his creative followers. About a year ago, …
My photography is mostly landscapes and scenes without people, for some unknown reason. But I do like to do some people-watching. It was in Nashville that I photographed a very colorful character who was happy to pose for me. He just looked so pleased with himself! On that same trip to Nashville, we went to …

It's December, isn't it? Normally, December is filled with parties, and lights, and presents, and snow, and song, and bells, and family celebration. This year, most of those things have been canceled. Due to government pandemic rules, Christmas concerts are not held. Normally, each year on the day after Christmas, I grab my violin and …
