I am on an airplane, going from Seattle to Detroit. Here is some of what I saw from my window seat. Shortly after takeoff: The Dakotas. See the farms Big lake A Great Lake I think we’re almost there. More later.
For much of this week, we have had what the weather guys call an “atmospheric river” bringing heavy rain to our area from that big water to our west, known as the Pacific Ocean. Here are some photos and videos showing our waters. First, Snoqualmie Falls. https://twitter.com/markskaggs10/status/1998898875147628652?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ And here’s one from a helicopter. https://twitter.com/pnwconservative/status/1998872381176344595?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Note …
No one should ever lose sight of the manifest benefits that western culture has bestowed upon the world, no matter how much the Left attempts to denigrate or dismantle it. Parents, be sure to show your children the very best of Western Civilization. https://twitter.com/jscotteswood/status/1944946200542593024?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ The Renaissance https://twitter.com/archi_tradition/status/1945140945516654659?s=46&t=AkJV8dX_RyhUKPG8uj0KNQ Homes, and defensive fortresses. 14th Century coaching inn. …
The destruction wrought by Hurricane Helene has brought out all the characteristics of Rural Americans.

My headline is not a joke. I visited four media web sites, including some known as being impartial and conservative. Not one had a banner headline about the devastation in Eastern Tennessee and Western North Carolina. Entire towns are being swept away, millions of people are losing homes and property, more millions are without power, …
The State of Washington is divided by the North-South Cascade Mountains, a line of "extinct" volcanoes. The scare-quotes are real (see 1980's eruption of Mount St. Helens). The climate (in more ways than one) of each half of the state is dramatically different. The Western half is known as the "wet" half, due to the …
For me, finding peaceful places always seems to include water. Maybe it's because I grew up surrounded by bodies of water in the Seattle area.
