Here are just a few of the headline stories to get the long July 4 weekend off to a bang-up start in the Seattle area. Before the hot weekend even starts, and very near my neighborhood, we have this explosive story: (courtesy of KOMO News) Teenage Girl Fatally Shot During Altercation at Alderwood Mall. The …

Reporting from the DemocRat-run Hell-hole that is the Seattle Area

On By rushbabe49In Authoritarianism, business, Culture, government, immigration, Media bias, Politics in the Age of Trump, Progressive "Thought", social media7 Comments

It's been a long time since I brought everyone up to date on what is happening here in the Seattle area. It's an assortment of tales of homelessness, crime, illegal aliens, burning buildings, and vandalism. For starters, there is a story about a street refugee camp in Kent, south of Seattle. A large group of …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #290: Going around in Circles

Just look around you! How many circles are there? They are everywhere! I am driving in circles every day, though Audi calls them The Rings. I looked up while in the Everett Public Library, and what did I see, but some brightly-colored glass circles. OK, Tina, here are some for you. Seattle's Great Wheel How's …

What’s on my mind right now, in memes and cartoons

This week has shown us how thoroughly corrupt our governments are now.  Governments from local to national have treated law-abiding taxpayers like domestic terrorists, when they're not taking us for granted as piggy-banks.  The Federal government is arresting trespassers, holding them in filthy prisons for years, and sentencing them to years in prison for actions …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #250: Skyscapes/Cloudscapes

On By rushbabe49In Nature, Photo challenges, photography, Travel and Vacations4 Comments

This week's topic is tailor-made for me.  On my computer, I have an album dedicated to photos of clouds.  Here in the Pacific Northwest, the sky is as apt to be covered with gray clouds all winter, and they are never the same one minute to the next.  But when Spring arrives and the gray …

What does the “Housing First” approach to homelessness say to the world, and to the homeless?

On By rushbabe49In Culture, government, Law and Justice, Progressive "Thought"Leave a comment

When the governments who run cities with huge homeless populations adopt the "housing first" approach, their first actions are aimed at finding housing for those living in tents on the streets and in parks.  This method, besides being doomed to failure (since housing is very expensive in most cities, and takes a long time to …

New Dispatch from the Seattle Cesspool

On By rushbabe49In Authoritarianism, business, Culture, Economics, government, Law and Justice, Progressive "Thought", Random Musings About LifeLeave a comment

Yes, it's that time again.  Time for a news roundup of what's going on in the dystopia that Seattle and environs are becoming.  Contributed to by the perverse state law that prohibits police pursuit of fleeing vehicles, which results in hundreds more stolen cars, and criminals allowed to get away. First, we have the case …

Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #216: Urban Environments

On By rushbabe49In Culture, History, Music, Nature, Photo challenges, photography, Travel and Vacations3 Comments

Thinking back on the past three years, it occurs to me that we have pretty much stayed out of big cities, both at home and on vacations.  In the last three years of Covid madness, I have only been to Seattle once, for a private concert at the new Center for Chamber Music, which Hubby …

Terri’s Sunday Stills Challenge: #Urbanity

On By rushbabe49In art, Culture, History, Photo challenges, photography, Travel and Vacations2 Comments

These days, I live in a suburb.  The closest big city is Seattle, 20 miles south of our home in Everett (where the airplanes are made).  I was born and raised in Seattle in the 1950's and 1960's, and lived there from the mid-1970's until 1990.  I do not recognize the Seattle of my childhood …
